Sister missionaries testimony Spanish speaking Morales and Walker

Monson, scriptures.

Brother Stephens about maybe not being able to walk, but he could.

Backing up and car went clunk, I was relieved that it was his front axel. But, it is a terrible thing.

Greatful for the moments of trial because it is a gift. And we are able to handle and that we are going to gain something that we came to earth for.

It is very clear that the church is true.

It is not your trial, one is not blessed more than others because they have the thing that others do not.

Fire alarm went off as testimony was being born.

In primary we were taught to think of what trees would feel or see in various places, and the kids said, but trees don't have eyes. After that part was gotten over that we decided that some trees were in the sacred grove.
We discussed what those,trees could have seen or felt. This is great because they put their own feelings out in the open saying it was a tree.

Planting for the garden: May 18th. Seed donations are great, cages donated for the tomato.

Sat. Fireless cooking preparedness, April 25th.

There are almost countless ways each of us can be missionaries. This lesson 19 can teach us how to go about it.

"I wouldn't tell a lot of people this, but I will tell it to you..." That preface gives an exclamation without using the normal SHOUT or Such. It seems not usual but very important, a select group will even be told. In presenting ideas this could be a tool to make others desire to know what we have to share.

There is a way to reach every human heart and we are responsible for finding and teaching them.

In sacrament meeting there was a testimony on how there are certain,moments in our lives when we are receptive, like a death, or other traumatic life changes like moving.

Our opportunity may be ways that we do not even consider. It is important to speak up cause you might supply a pivotal point in that life, so it is important to speak up and be full of the spirit.

In the hospital people giving the sacrament we need to ask, not just assume...

There are things that I should say, but when I don't "the rocks speak up..." And something's that were important to be known will be known if I do not say them, but I loose the trust of God, and if I do not say as prompted, I miss out.

When a man is happy he is surrounded by the spirit of making others happy, and it is sort of contagious, and why we go to church once a week to "catch" that spirit.

Think of early saints and how they would desire just to have a member of the family come and experience Zion, but they still through hardship, had a desire to share the gospel with the rest of the world, maybe I was blessed to come here and now, I can go back home and share what I learned.

Our homes are MTC's.

Missionaries are ready and more mature at an earlier age. Because of the things they understand and grow.

No greater thing that we can give than our testimony.
