Hey Fam,
I think this is the first time that I have been happy to hear that STG is HOT... It will be nice to get out of the ice-box here in Jozi.Besides the cold-spell here, things in Kagiso are absolutely wonderful. And In honor of our national holiday, I would like to share some experiences that help us realize our blessing. Given, was baptized last week and was confirmed. He went to his cousins house the entire week, so we weren't able to see him until Saturday night. So we went by and he shared about his experience with his cousins and his attempts to share the gospel....The reason why this email is titled blessed is based on something that Given shared
with us in the short 20 minutes we had that really caused me to reflect and think. He said, " I am so blessed with the knowledge I know have."
For those that are members of the church, we are blessed by many things such as guidance from living prophets, additional scripture, temples.... (Relief society jello socials :) even potlucks lol with each of those wonderful blessings requires our efforts to take advantage of these wonderful gifts from our Heavenly Father. I think of the Prophets latest address where he said these words: "May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary—a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith,
we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals." #makethatchoice
How Blessed are we!
