LDS Relief Society ~ Trinity Children’s Home Visit 26 Sep 2015

Today weather really bad as the haze hung heavily over the sky all day. Daddy is not going to work today as both of us have activities at church. He has the Priesthood training which would be conducted by the Mission President and I have the Relief Society Charity Home visit this afternoon. Both of us is almost the same time at church.

We went off earlier from home, because Daddy suggested that we should buy some biscuits from for the children home which I and the Relief Society sisters would be visit. Daddy bought 2 big tins of biscuits – cream crackers and cheese crackers. Then, we went to Citta Mall for both Issac and Annabelle to attend their Teacher Jane’s art class.

We reached PJ Chapel about 3:00pm, the children were together with me as we went up to the 1st Floor Primary Room for our Relief Society activity. All the sisters were encouraged to donate either food items such as instant noodles, rice, cooking oils, canned foods, biscuits, etc ; Or non-food items such as dish washer, shampoo, bathing soaps, body shampoo, floor cleaners, etc.

We started our activity with the opening hymns and opening prayer, then we did the packing for the individual goody bags for the children, so that we can distribute to the children once we are there. There are approximately 20 of sisters and we went there by car pooling.

Trinity Children’s Home is just nearby our church. It is a non-profit organization helping orphans, abused, abandoned and neglected children. During the past 15 years they have provided care and a "home" for over 180 children under the age of 18. Their goal is to provide security, safety and a foundation for the children so they can become successful adults.

Sister Karen told me that our church previously was just next to the Trinity Children’s Home before move to the current location, thus the sisters are familiar with the home. Once we reached there, we were greeted by the committee member at Trinity, Sister Mary Moses. She is the one whom take care of the children. Senior Missionary Sister Mah did a general introduction on our visit, then we sung our songs presentation.

The activity which prepared by Sister Ludi Wong. She taught the children to make paper lanterns from Chinese "red packet", as it will be Mid Autumn Festival tomorrow. Issac and Annabelle too, sitting around together with the children and learned about the art. After, Sister Mariko made beautiful origami paper craft objects and presented them to the children.

The goody bags which we prepared were distributed too to the children. Our visit ended by some refreshments cookies and packet drinks, and we adjourned back to church and met with Daddy after his Priesthood Training too.

During the art and craft activity, Issac and Annabelle were not so happy due to they felt like been left out from the children group, as the sisters were more helping the home children in completing their small lanterns.

After we went back to the church, I told them that, “The purpose today we visited the children home, is because we want to show our caring heart to the children who live there. Most of the children there do not have a proper home whereby they are orphans, abandoned or neglected by their parents. That is why all the sisters trying to help them first,” I continued, “What do you think or feel, if you are the one who live there?”

I tried to make them understand that, we have to be grateful to Heavenly Father of what a huge blessings that He have given to us and our family. Let them feel and see what others might not have the privileges, which they have right now…

To be true, all the children at the home are really obedient, they have manners and polite. Their care taker really teach them very well. I do hope both Issac and Annabelle will leaning something today after visit the Trinity Children’s Home, and the Spirit will continue to guide them in their growing paths.
