“Prophets of God” by Annabelle Yu Irene

Our family have given assignments to speak in the Sacrament Meeting, each of us are given different topics. Daddy was so excited and he prepared both Issac and Annabelle speeches.

Annabelle was the second speaker, she did it well too, just a little bit soft spoken on her voice. At the end of the speech, there is a children song which on the prophets of God. She asked her brother, Issac go up to the stage and sang together with her. They really were so cute ^^.  

Good Morning dear Brothers & Sisters,

Today I would like to share with my topic as ‘The Prophets of God’.

A Prophets is a man of His calling as;

- God’s representative on earth. When a prophet speaks for God, it is as if God were speaking.

- Witness for Christ, testifying of His divinity and teaching His gospel.

- He receives revelations and directions from the Lord for our benefit.

- He may see into the future and foretell coming events so that the world may be warned.

We have a prophet living on the earth today. He is the President of our Church. He has the right to revelation for the entire Church and hold the keys of the Kingdom, he has the authority to direct the entire Church and Kingdom of God on earth, including the administration of priesthood ordinances. Therefore, His burdens are heavy, we raise our hand to sustain the prophet and he need to be strengthened by the prayers of the Saints.

We should follow his inspired teachings completely. We should not choose to follow part of his inspired counsel and discard that which is unpleasant or difficult.

Hereby, I would like to quote President Marion G. Romney’s story as reported in Conference, October 1960:

“I remember years ago when I was a bishop I had President Heber J. Grant talk to our ward. After the meeting I drove him home. Standing by me, he put his arm over my shoulder and said: “My boy, you always keep your eye on the President of the Church and if he ever tells you to do anything, and it is wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it.” Then with a twinkle in his eye, he said, “but you don’t need to worry. The Lord will never let his mouthpiece lead the people astray.” In D&C section 21: verse 4 & 5 testify that; “For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith”, Amen.”

We have to be Obedience to the Prophet and great blessings will be given by the Lord, In order to stand, the true Church must be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, our Savour himself being the chief corner stone. We are blessed in this insecure world to have a prophet through whom the Lord reveals His will.

I pray humbly to Heavenly Father, given all the blessing to my family and all my beloved church brothers and sisters and share these in the name of our Savour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Follow with me & my brother would like to sing one verse of Follow the Prophet;

“Now we have a world where people are confused.

If you don’t believe it, go and watch the news.

We can get direction all along our way,

If we heed the prophets-follow what they say.

Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,

Follow the prophet; don’t go astray.

Follow the prophet, follow the prophet,

Follow the prophet; he knows the way.”

“Our Heavenly Father” by Issac Yu Ivan

Our family have given assignments to speak in the Sacrament Meeting, each of us are given different topics. Daddy was so excited and he prepared both Issac and Annabelle speeches.

Issac was the first speaker, he did it very well. He spoke with his loud and clear voice.

Good Morning dear Brothers & Sisters,

Look up the sky during the day and night, there are wonderful natures flows above us, millions of starts and planets, they all in perfect order. But they did not get there by chance.

Quote Prophet Alma wrote, “All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator, our Heavenly Father”.

God is the Almighty Ruler of the universe, He made everything; moon, stars, sun and even we are made in His image, therefore we know that our bodies are like His body. His eternal spirit is housed in a tangible body of flesh and bones, God’s body, however, is perfected & glorified, with a glory beyond all description.

God is perfect. He is a God of righteousness, with attributes such as,

- LOVE - MERCY

- CHARITY - TRUTH

- POWER - FAITH

- KNOWLEDGE - JUDGEMENT

He has all power, knows all things and full of goodness.

The more we know our Heavenly Father, the more we love Him as a Living God, and shall we always have faith and practice as follows;

1. Believe that He exists and that He loves us.

2. Study the scriptures.

3. Pray to Him.

4. Obey all His commandments. Especially the first and greatest commandment, Thou Shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. And the second is, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

God is the Supreme and Absolute Being in whom we believe and whom we worship. He is the Great Parent of the universe, and He looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regards.

As we believe in Him, keeping His commandments, do all things as written in the Holy Scriptures and eventually we shall have the eternal life.

I pray humbly to Heavenly Father, given all the blessing to my family and all my beloved church brothers and sisters and share these in the name of our Savour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Surprise Birthday Gift 26 Jun 2015

It was really a surprise at all from Dear. We had my birthday dinner celebration at The Black Market, Main Place. Earlier on, I did buy a Groupon voucher on the Black Market Restaurant which is at Main Place USJ21, initially wanted to celebrate Father’s day with Alvin and the children. Unfortunately, there was fully booked on the Father’s Day itself. Then, Alvin suggested why not use the voucher for my birthday dinner venue as it will be soon expired. Thus, I called the restaurant and place a booking.

We ordered quite a number of food, such as their signature Black Market’s Big ‘S’ Pork Ribs, Truffle Mushroom Soup, The Real Paddington Linguine with Jamon, Black market Signature Pork Burger, The “Incredible Hog” Pizza, Garlic Butter Scallop, and there is one new recommendation by the staff - Cigar Kampung Chicken Smoked with Applewood. The food served considered quite fast and taste pretty delicious as well. The actual bill is around RM260++, but with the 2 vouchers I bought earlier from Groupon, we need to pay only RM26++ only. It is considered cheap and worth it for 4 of us and have around 7 course of dinner.

We went home satisfactory with the stomach full and happy! After taken bath and went to bed to sleep, suddenly Dear took out a packet and said, “Happy Birthday Mummy!”. It was a surprise! I opened it, and I saw an Iphone packaging box! It is the latest iphone 6 plus with 16G!

Alvin know that I was thinking of wanted to repair the old iPad so that I am able to read the Seminary and the Institute online on our church website clearer and the wordings will be bigger, and easier for me to read the e-book.

I was so happy to receive this precious gift. Last year he gifted me a Tumi handbag, this year is an iphone. I feel so in adequent in receiving his gift as I know each gift is so precious and a bit pricy to me. And, everytime he is so thoughtful in selecting birthday gifts for all of us.

I am so grateful on this, and thankful that he being an example for me. Love you!

We Are on Camel!

We were at Sunway Pyramid Shopping Mall, and it is due to Hari Raya Seasons, thus we can see a camel here!

A Sabbath Morning at LDS Malacca Chapel

This is the first time we attended the Malacca Chapel. It is just like the Kuala Lumpur Chapel, it is a bungalow lot with some compound around. I did not take the photo of the building itself.

Instead, I was managed to take some photos on this 2 notice which pinned on the notice board. It reminds me one of my baptismal covenants that is keep on doing or exercising my faith, which is the missionary works.

Every member is the missionary, and it is our responsibility to find the people around us and spread the gospel to them.

Even though Malacca branch is a small branch, but I do admire the way they care for each other, guide each other. It can be found just by this little pieces of notes and action plan that the youth wrote down.

I love my Savior! I love my Heavenly Father! I love Them for the doctrines and ordinances of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, which bring hope and happiness into our lives.

I thank for Prophet Joseph Smith’s faith in asking Heavenly Father, as through Joseph Smith, we are able to have the church of Jesus Christ here on earth again.

I thank for Heavenly Father for the Atonement of Jesus Christ so that I am able to go back to Him together with my whole family some day! For I try my best to walk like Him…Love One Another…

Malacca Weekend Trip 6-7 Jun 2015

Our family have a weekend short trip to Malacca. We woke up early in the morning around 7.30am, and Daddy drove down to Malacca already. We arrived at Malacca round 9.30am.

It was so fortunate that we managed to find a parking at the street along the street where our hotel is Layang-Layang Guest House.

Our first destination is having our morning walk along the Jonker Street and Malacca River. We snapped a few photos at the interesting places.

We met with the missionary whom taught us during we baptized Elder Karl Paewai together with his father whom came back to visit Malaysia after he completed his mission.

We visited together with them a few interesting places at Malacca. Our family feel so happy with our reunion with Elder Karl Paewai and his Dad at Malacca.

We were having quite a wonderful time with them, even though the day is really hot today!

We departed in the afternoon, as Elder Karl Paewai have the appointment with the Elders in Malacca. And, they would leave for Kuala Lumpur in the evening and attend the Sacrament Meeting at Petaling Jaya Branch and Subang Jaya Branch.

Our family stayed a night and attend Sacrament Meeting at Malacca Branch. It is a short trip, but really fun for all of us!
