Sunday Snippet

Announcements:

• 27th April, Training Meeting for ward council members
• 2nd May UYC10 fireside 7pm @ stake centre.  All invited
• 22nd May Stake RS Service Project - Family History + lunch 10-12 @ stake centre

On Sunday we were privileged to be visited by our new Stake RS Presidency who introduced themselves and imparted a message each:

Sister Katie - God cannot lie.  Faith in God is a working power.

Sister Leslie - We must clearly understand the purpose of RS

Sister Olan - Bore her testimony of RS

Our lesson was taught by Emi Nagasaka.  It was the first time she has ever taught a lesson.  You would never know.

Emi asked 3 sisters, Pat, Lilian and Tina to share with us their experiences with the Holy Ghost.  It was touching to hear the wonderful, faith inspiring stories and experiences they each shared.  If you want to know more details maybe you could ask them.  I don't have enough time this week to relate them all.  Sorry...

We discussed the nature of the Holy Ghost and that by increasing our desire, creating opportunities for quiet moments, coming to church, reading the scriptures, praying and fasting, we can feel his influence more in our lives.  Without the guidance  of the Holy Ghost how can we ever receive the personal revelation we all need in order to move forward and progress as individuals, as families, as a ward and stake?

Emi bore testimony that the Holy Ghost is a partner with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and together with the, helps us to do those things we need to do and provides comfort when we need it.
Thanks Emi, we really appreciate your efforts, it was a great lesson.  Can't wait for the next one.

See you all on Sunday.
