One Year of Having Provisional Licence 1

One Year ago today, I got my Provisional Licence 1 (Red P's).
I drove a lot of places since then. It has given me some freedom.
Two Years ago today, I was still on my Learners and learning how to drive.
If you ever ask me, "What was your favourite places that you drove to since you got your Provisional Licence 1 and why?"

My answer is "Brisbane Latter-Day Saint Temple and Perth Latter-Day Saint Temple because I always felt peace, comfort and happiness whenever I arrive at those places."

Within One Year, I drove in 2 different states of Australia.
I drove in Queensland for 11 months and Western Australia for 4 weeks.

In Queensland; I drove to Brisbane Latter-Day Saint Temple, Brisbane Airport, Brisbane City, Brisbane & Surrounding Areas, Logan & Surrounding Areas, Toowoomba, Gold Coast & Surrounding Areas, and Ipswich & Surrounding Areas.

In Western Australia; I drove to Perth Latter-Day Saint Temple, Perth Airport, Perth City, Fremantle, Warwick & Surrounding Areas, Bunbury, Mandurah and Rockingham & Surrounding Areas.

Any day now, I can do a Hazard Perception Test and the Test is available for me to do online. If I pass the test, I get my Provisional Licence 2 (Green P's).
I really hope that I do pass the test sometime this month.

I tried going for my Hazard Perception Test this afternoon. I didn't get pass.
I know why I didn't pass. Better luck tomorrow. I hope I do pass tomorrow.

Stay Tuned until next time.

Powerful Testimony Tips

You may ask me "What is a Testimony?"
A Testimony is a spiritual witness given by the Holy Ghost.
.
You can make a Powerful Testimony by doing the following things;

1. Fasting:
It can help you to feel the promptings of the Holy Ghost to know what to say.

2. Keep it simple: 
A testimony is made up of simple statements of truth. Elder Scott shared, "Share principles that help those you love to press forward along the path to eternal life. Remember, we all grow line upon line. You have followed that same pattern in your understanding of the gospel. Keep your sharing of the gospel simple" at April General Conference last year.

3. Use "I know" Statements:
I know when Testimonies are powerful. It is when people say "I know" statements. As Elder Ballard explains, "My experience throughout the Church leads me to worry that too many of our members’ testimonies linger on 'I am thankful' and 'I love,' and too few are able to say with humble but sincere clarity, 'I know.'"

When we bear our testimonies of principles we have come to know are true, he says, our meetings will have "the testimony-rich, spiritual underpinnings that stir the soul and have meaningful, positive impact on the lives of all those who hear them."

4. Include these truths:
President Uchtdorf explains, "A testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ will always include these clear and simple truths:
- God lives. He is our loving Father in Heaven, and we are His children.
- The Book of Mormon is the word of God.

5. Bear your Testimony often:
President Packer declared, "Oh, if I could teach you this one principle: a testimony is to be found in the bearing of it!"

I think we all need to share our Testimony often, not just in sacrament meetings. Share it in whatever words come. Share it knowing that the spirit will testify of truth to the hearts of those listening.

I shared some of the information from LDSLiving.

It's Finally September!

Me: "Guess what everyone?" Everyone: "What?" 
Me: "It is finally September. Who would have known that?"

Sometime at the beginning of this year, I kept looking forward to September.

In 3 Days, it is my Stake Relief Society Fireside.
In 5 Days, it will be Father's Day.

In 6 Days, my friend Sister Lyndall Bond comes home from her Mission.
In 9 Days, my friend Sister Vaine Tameifuna will reach 1 year ago since she left.

In 11 Days, it will be Day 1 of Multistake YSA Service Convention weekend.
In 21 Days, my Close Friend Karla Arroyo leaves for her Mission.

In 26 Days, my Best Friend Sister M Dixon will reach 2 months ago since she left and it will mark 4 months ago since I left Perth.
