ETERNITY



Over 10 years ago, I remember going to my first Relief Society meeting while I was still investigating the LDS Church and the lesson topic was on "Temple". I recall I asked the teacher if we had a Temple in Madagascar and she said no but the closest to us would be in South Africa.


My older brother was sealed for time and eternity with his family in the Johannesburg Temple this week. This is special to me because my first temple experience took place there too before I went to serve a mission in Durban. What a blessing for my family! When I spoke to him on the phone before they left to South Africa, he said,"we will be a happier family."

negative sixteen!

Thanks to hand warmer because it was 3°F up at Brighton on Monday night. Usually I never feel that cold up there will all my gear on and moving around but this time, I felt it. It was soooo cold! I can't really relate to the temperature in °F so I had to figure out what would that be in °C. It's negative 16°C!
These little hotties (that's what the hand warmer were called) saved my life! They last for 8 hours.

Hope for Haiti!


Celebrities are on telethon all around the globe to raise funds for Haiti. I am impressed at the spirit of humanity that I see especially during time of need and disaster like this.
The whole world is calling for help for Haiti. The LDS Church has an amazing humanitarian service that will give 100% of any donation to help Haiti. The First Presidency gave a strong statement in the lds.org newsroom. I like it when they said: “Money is not the only need in Haiti.People are frightened, bewildered, and wholly uncertain about their future. In addition to what people can do in helping with food, water and shelter, there needs to be a calming influence over that troubled nation. We invite people everywhere to supplicate God for a spirit of calm and peace among the people.”
