WASHINGTON D.C. SOUTH MISSION: MISSON HOME FIRESIDE

MISSON HOME FIRESIDE

We had a wonderful fireside at the mission home tonight, July 26, 2009. We invite a recent convert or another speaker to come and share their testimony and story and the missionaries can attend with an investigator or a new member. We had over 70 people attend. There were about 4 people with baptism dates planned, about 20 missionaries and a dozen investigators and member friends of the investigators. The office elders, Assistants, and President Albright's councilors. A new convert of about 6 months, Tom Robison spoke. It was very touching as he told his conversion story and is now engaged to another new convert and they are planning to be married in the DC Temple in January. He works for the government and has been to many places in the world and spoken to people about the gospel. President Albright spoke also and talked about enduring through trials. After the fireside, a new convert from Cambodia who was put in a political prison at 13 yrs old and tortured came up and said that the fireside was exactly what he had needed to hear. We had a 5 young women sing and they were great. Then we had goodies that I had been cooking all day. We met alot of wonderful people from all over the world, many nationalities. The mission in incredibly diverse and it is so fun to meet people with such different and wonderful backgrounds. In one of our districts there are over 130 languages spoken.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real income.
It's all about how to select a proper companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Stephanie Smith Fireside

Last Sunday evening we were privileged to attend a fireside in the mission. It was held at a beautiful old chapel in McLean. One of the pictures shows the inside of the chapel and the wood beams on the very steep-pitched ceiling of the room. The gym is under the chapel in the basement. I have never seen a floorplan like this one. Very unique. This fireside hosted Sister Stephanie Smith. Her story was in the Ensign sometime in the last year. She has a remarkable conversion story. She has held very high government positions and at one time was 5th in command at the CIA. She said something at the first of her talk that I wrote down: she said, "I've been on some remarkable adventures. But no adventure in my lifetime has been as extraordinary and life-changing as my path to conversion and baptism in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. She then told about her introduction to the church. She was at a time in her life with tremendous worldly success achieved after clawing her way to the top without any regard for others, and she felt her life was shattering into a million pieces. At this time she turned to a colleague she admired who was a member of the church. He told her two things. That her Heavenly Father knew her by name and loved her and that Heavenly Father had a plan for her success. The next day he sent her a map to the temple visitor center. She told how when the missionary sisters came to her door, she didn't think she could relate to these young women. The first thing they did was ask if they could sing to her. They sang,"I am a Child of God." That was the beginning of her conversion, a long a beautiful story. You can read it on the web at Meridian Magazine. Her testimony was a real inspiration to me. There were over 350 people there and she does a great missionary work speaking to investigators. What a blessing to have heard her and felt her spirit.

Chelsea Our recent Convert

We have met the sweetest young sister. Chelsea is amazing. She joined the church during the last year and has an incredible testimony also. She never misses any missionary function and we were able to take her with us to the Stephanie Smith Fireside. She also came to the mission home a few weeks ago and we had family night. She gave the lesson and is was unbelievable. She is hoping to go on a mission next year. What a great young woman. This is a picture of her with Elders Ganaway and Gifford.
