Happy 21st Birthday Jennifer

I would like to have this post based on a Happy Birthday post for my friend Jennifer/Jen

You may ask me "How did you first met Jennifer?"

On Wednesday; April 15th, last year - The Elders, Elder Hanson, and his companion Elder Otuafi got transferred and the ward finally got Sister Missionaries. I was very excited at the time. I called the missionaries' phone number and I was surprised that a Sister Missionary answered the phone call.

I was trying to encourage the Sister Missionaries to visit my family sometime during the day because on that evening, I was flying to Perth, Western Australia. I thought the Sister Missionaries was one off transfer. The Sister Missionaries was busy throughout that day.

Time was slipping by quickly. Time went very fast. I realised that I didn't get the chance to meet Jennifer and her companion until after staying in Perth for six weeks. I kept forgetting it was her who I was on the phone to before I left to Perth.

Jennifer kept reminding me a few times during your service in my ward to ask me "Do you remember the phone call that you made before you went to Perth and it was to a Sister Missionary? Well, that was me."

I have been great friends with Jennifer since I first met her. I had so many wonderful opportunities to go out with her and her companion for being member present for lessons and it was helping me a lot to stay focus on my mission preparations.

I still remember emailing Jennifer throughout the remaining of her mission after she left my ward. It was so sad for me knowing when she got transferred to a different ward, however, it was a great blessing for me to see her one last time at the Temple in January this year, unexpectedly.

Jennifer if you get to see this post, I would like to wish you a "Happy 21st Birthday and I hope you had a wonderful day! I miss you heaps." Jennifer, we need to video call/skype each other sometime when both of us are available.

Stay Tuned until next time.

Six Months ago yesterday since my Car Accident

I encourage you to think about the following two questions. "Where did the last six months go?" and
"What you were doing on Sunday; November 29th, last year?"

Exactly twelve weeks before the car accident, I started my mission papers.
Five nights before the car accident, I attended a Baptistery session with a few friends.

I would like to share with you a few highlights that I have achieved for that date.
In the morning, I had a Temple Recommend interview and received a new Temple Recommend.
In the afternoon, I went to two friends's combined farewell party and many photos was taken.

The weather was bad. There was hail, there was some loud thunderstorms, it was heavy raining, and it was very windy. After the bad weather, the clouds was clearing up to be sunny again but the roads and highways slippery wet, some roads had fallen trees.

Late afternoon to early evening, I left a close friend's house and within five minutes leaving her house, I had a car accident. A car accident that could have caused me suffering more than a few major injuries.
A car accident that could have cost my life. My car didn't have ABS (anti-brake system) and any airbags.

Yesterday reached six months ago since the car accident happened. I used to think a lot to ask myself the following two questions,

"Would I have changed my mind sooner about not going to or leaving sooner from two friends's combined farewell party?" and "Why did the car accident happen to me?"

I was so shocked straight away aftter the car accident happened. I suddenly felt so sorry. I was crying. I knew it was a mistake. It was a silly mistake that I ever did. I was very grateful for people who stopped on the side of the highway to ask ne if I was okay and if I have caused any injuries.

At the time, I didn't know what injuries was caused until I saw my GP. I saw a doctor before seeing my GP, and he mentioned that there was nothing wrong. My GP told me about the results from the other doctor and he advised me to have neck x-rays.

The findings from the neck x-rays wasn't good. I had major whiplash and I have neck muscle strain which isn't good and it was the injures from the car accident.

I would like to express a major thank to Heavenly Father for allowing me to continue living my life and progress to do better. I would like to thank family, friends and other people who have prayed for me. I would like to thank the friends who helped with me to pay back to my car insurer for the excess, although I paid most of the amount.

Since the car accident, I found out my faith and trust in Heavenly Father wasn't strong enough. I noticed my faith and trust in Heavenly Father has been strengthened. I also noticed my testimony was strengthened and grew stronger. I noticed and learned a lot of other things.

I shared this post because I think it is a milestone to reach six months ago since my car accident. It is hard to believe in another six months, it will reach one year ago since my car accident.

Stay Tuned until next time.

Never Had an Ordinary Day

This post is short and sweet. First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following question. "What does it mean Never Had an Ordinary Day to you?"

This post is based on a song that I also love called, "Never Had an Ordinary Day by Katherine Nelson." This song is one of the soundtracks from a movie called "Emma Smith, My Story."

If you haven't heard the song before, I strongly encourage you to listen to the song in your own time. I would like to share with you the video clip of the song below and I really hope you can see video clip.

If you can't see the video above, here's the link to the video below.

I have two questions for you to think about and answer in your own time if you have watched the video clip and listened to the song carefully. Those questions are:

"What was your most favourite part of the song?" and "What was your least favourite part of the song?" 

I would like to share with you my most favourite part of the song. My most favourite part of the song was, "I´m sure when your heart breaks, some people will say "Somewhere down the line you lost your faith."

Some people can lose their faith whenever they are feeling down and no one comes to rescue them from feeling down. 

Some people can lose their faith whenever they are feeling upset because their loved one has passed away and no one comes to comfort them.  

Some people can lose their faith whenever they are feeling sad and no one comes to rescue them from feeling sad. 

We all need to look for a brighter future whenever we are feeling down.

We all need to look for a brighter future whenever we are feeling upset.

We all need to look for a brighter future whenever we are feeling sad. 

I don't have a least favourite of the song. If you haven't heard the movie called "Emma Smith, My Story" I strongly encourage you to watch the movie in your own time. It is a realy great movie to watch on a Sabbath Day and/or any day during the week.
