As Day 5 approaches and the day is about to end.
The wonderful youth continues to learn more and with the help of the counsellors.
They get to pack medical supplies as part of their community service project and get to learn some basic first aid precautions when encountering an accident.
As the day goes by, everyone created a strong bond not only with their own company but with everyone as well. Everyone has strengthen their physical and spiritually needs.
Going Strong and Fun on Day 4! As the youth get to see a preview on a slideshow for previous days. Day 4 gets really spiritual, everyone gets learn more about our Heavenly Father and Jesus on Living Christ Session.
The youth had a wonderful Musical Programme and Devotional night that they have been rehearsing for days!
Issac told me that he did dance with 10 young women at the musical program because all the counsellors gave a target to all of the youth to dance with 10 young men or young women!
Issac said most of the young women came up to him and asked him for dance, may be because he looks like Primary boy and cute ^^. Haha.. this is my boy!
Day 3 and the Youth are really having a wonderful time. Activities for Day 3 are:
Here are some of the photos our youths and counsellors that served in the FSY. Sister Robinia and Brother Kennedy are the counsellors for Issac’s group.
Sister Anesha too is one of the counsellor among them to lead the youth groups.
And Sister Anita as well. Both Anesha and Anita do a great job too! President Teh and Sister Annie are the couple that lead out this huge program.
Here are some photos of Issac’s group and their group cheer off. his is in the group of “We Serve with Open Heart”.
Here is Day 2, is full of Spiritual Thoughts. It is wonderful to know more about the Gospel and the classes are awesome.
The youth get to hear a wonderful devotional with Elder and Sister Evans and they are grateful for them.
Today our whole family woke up really early because today Issac will be flying to Kuching, Sarawak for his first time ever Church Youth program – For the Strength of Youth Conference or short form – FSY Malaysia Singapore.
It is a five days of participating in devotionals, classes, and activities which will help the youth strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ and feel joy and belongings as they live the gospel by engaging in inspired learning opportunities and wholesome social experiences.
Issac was so excited and a little bit worried as this is the first time he is out from home without us and has to fly to Kuching Sarawak. He is more excited as the days get nearer.
This month of December is such a special month for him. As he has the chance to participate in the Journey to Bethlehem last Saturday and now to FSY Malaysia Singapore at Kuching Sarawak.
We reached KLIA 2 early and we met with other youths from different branches and their parents too. Brother Kennedy and Sister Robinia are the 2 counsellors that will accompany them fly to Kuching.
After gather all the youths and make sure that they checked in the flights, all were gathered to KFC and have their breakfast. Alvin was so pity looking at the youths and ordered the breakfast for them as most of them have not eaten any breakfast yet.
After breakfast, it was time for them to go to the boarding room for the air plane. Well, hope Issac will enjoy for the next few days and come back a New!
Here were some of the photos posted on the FSY Malaysia Singapore Facebook page later as they arrived in Kuching. It is such a warm welcoming event for all the youths including Malaysia and Singapore to Kuching, Sarawak.
The bus that transported them to the Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites. They were checked in upon arrival and split into different groups.
Each group would have a male counsellor and female counsellor that will guide and lead them throughout the followings 5 days. All the meals are provided and all the activities would be held in the meeting halls and function halls of the hotel.
Here is the great thing that the youth did tonight! They form the FSY word in front of the Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites and lighted up the lights. It looks so nice in the night!
It was quite a shock to all of us including to me and Alvin when we saw the pony that Issac ride on was suddenly just kicking its legs and wanted to run away. I was stunned at the spot when I saw it and do not know how to react to that. The first thing that came into my mind was: Where is Alvin? How to help Issac?
What can I do is only stand there and I do not know what to do. My mind was blank at that instance. I saw the young men were trying to hold and control the pony, but the pony was trying to run to the field. As the pony was trying its way to run further, I was afraid that Issac would be fall off from the pony as he was almost fell off.
The next second, I saw Issac fell off from the pony and his body continue rolling on the ground till he stopped by a tree. Alvin and I were running towards him and checked with him how is he doing, is he being hurt?
I feel it was a blessing that he is safe and protected by Heavenly Father. If last weekend he attend the KL District Young Men Camp, I believe that he would be involve in small challenges as well.
Issac told us that he is very aware of what was going on, and he was trying his best to determine the time to let go of his hand from the horse saddle. He said he saw the timing when he felt that his body was nearer to the ground then he decided to let go of his hand, then he just rolled onto the ground.
His clothing was dirty with dirt and wet because he crashed into a pail of water which put aside the tree. I quickly went to take his clothing in the car and gave him to change at the toilet. Alvin helped him.
After the incident, Issac felt as he indeed have some trials or challenges that he went through this year. The first is Annabelle and him both were missing in Hong Kong during the KL District youth temple trip, and now here he goes again – fell off from a normal pony ride.
I know he must be scared during when things happen, but I know that he definitely found his testimony in the midst of all these happenings which to him were some major events in his life so far.
I am blessed to have him as my son and a faithful righteous Aaronic Priesthood in our home. I know that the Lord will definitely watching over him no matter what happened.
Developing Talents #8 ~ Plan a physical fitness program for yourself that may include learning to play a sport or game. Participate in the program for one month.
Our Puchong Primary Presidency have decided a few activities through out this year of 2018, and all the activities will go along with the Faith in God Program, according to the District Primary Presidency’s direction.
We have a "Let’s Get Physical" activity day, which we organised at Bukit Jalil Recreational Park. Sister Jennifer designed a cute small invitation card, as a hand-out to the children to bring back home for their parents knowledge, and investigators too.
Sister Jennifer is a dedicated Primary President. She created a WhatsApp group chat for the parents of the Primary children. We can keep the parents updated on all the information and activities for the children.
We were there around 10.15am. All of us gathered at Bukit Jalil Recreational Park Car Park, and we headed to the designated picnic or rest area, which we can put all of our food and drinks on the table.
We started the activity with the opening prayer and message from Sister Jennifer around 10.45am. We had a little celebration for Denzel’s birthday and he is going to be young man.
After the mini celebration, we started with the breakfast first before we start the program. We had hard boiled eggs, cakes, muffins, fried rice noodles, fruits and drinks. Then, we gathered all the Primary children and we have a warm up Banana Dance.
It is really difficult to gather all the children at the same time, and doing the activity! We were quite exhausted!
We were more focus for Valiant children, whereby they can able to complete one of the activities which required – that is the physical fitness.
At last, I took out the jump rope which I bought yesterday, just in case we can get the children play the rope jumping. I was surprised that it turned out to be 360 degrees!
All the children were so excited about it, everyone wanted to try to jump, even the younger children. Even the parents too, joined the fun!
We had some food again after the sweaty rope jumping session. We ended the activity around 12.00 noon. Everyone of us cleaned and leaved the recreational park around 12.15pm.
It was a simple and short outing for the children, and the parents too! Even though the turn out a bit little, but still it is an encouragement to us – the Primary workers!
Other than that, I really felt proud with Issac, as He is the only Priesthood that attended this activity, indirectly he is watching over us… even though he is just an Aaronic Priesthood holder.
Preparing for the Priesthood #5 ~ Read “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” Make a list of things you can do to help strengthen your family and make a happy home. Share the list with your parents or Primary leader.
After last year, we attended the District Primary Activity Day in Preparing for the Priesthood and Young Women. From there, Sister Yang talked about how the children can do to help strengthen the family and make a happy home.
So, what’s the best way to strengthen family and help create a happy home?
“The Family: A Proclamation to the World” has the answer!
There’s no secret recipe – just the basic principles of the gospel we’ve been taught all along: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriage and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.”
We made the lists and things that kids can do to help strengthen our family and make a happy home.
We know that families lie at the center of our Heavenly Father’s plan. We are part of that eternal unit that requires our work and best effort on our part. Continue building lasting, loving relationships for all family members.
Listen to one another, be united, work together, play together, pray together, study together. Live celestial principles together, serve the Lord together.
In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives. But all the effort we put into strengthening our family will ultimately make us – and them – happier.
