Remember the Small Things: Story about Mother Teresa

Hi again!

it's tierre.

this is a super important story about a Disciple Scholar Hero that's a total must read:

Some of my sisters work in Australia. On a reservation, among the Aborigines, there was an elderly man. I can assure you that you have never seen a situation as difficult as that poor old man's. He was completely ignored by everyone. His home was disordered and dirty. 

I told him, "Please, let me clean your house, wash your clothes, adn make your bed." He answered, "I'm okay like this. Let it be."

I said again, "You will be still better if you allow me to do it."

He finally agreed. So I was able to clean his house adn wash his clothes. I discovered a beautiful lamp, covered with dust. Only God knows how many years had passed since he last lit it.

I said to him, "Don't you light your lamp? Don't you ever use it?"

He answered,  "No. No one comes to see me. I have no need to light it. Who would I light it for?"

I asked, "Would you light it every night if the sisters came?"

He replied, "Of course."

From that day on the Sisters committed themselves to visiting him every evening. We cleaned the lamp, and the sisters would light it every evening.

Two years passed. I had completely forgotten that man. He sent this message: "Tell my friend that the light she lit in my life continues to shine still."

I thought it was a very small thing. We often neglect small things. 

I hope that it meant as much to you as it did to me. 

She is a true DS Hero.

I think that everyone should focus on the importance of her life and know that you could make that kind of difference too.

Maybe you should.

Maybe if everyone tried to make a difference, in just one person's life, we would have a new kind of world. 

A better world.

I hope that everyone can try this.

This is another thing you should recognize... the light from the story can be viewed as the gospel.

The gospel needs to be shared too.

Group Project Week 1

hey everyone. 

(all one of you)

it's tierre.

i just wanted to let you know how the progress is coming for our group project.

PS - i am in the work hard (balance) group.

last friday we were unsure which service project we wanted to do and who we wanted to pick to exemplify disciple scholarship in the area of hard work. 

by the end of class the only conclusion that we could come up with would be to meet again over the week.

so yesterday we met again.

we all brought ideas of who our disciple-scholar could be.

here were a few of the options:

• Handel = he composed the Messiah (then we could go carol at nursing homes)
• Bill Gates = i hope you know who he is (we could collect money and donate it to his charity)
• Erin Gruhel = the teacher portrayed in the movie Freedom Writers (we could tutor children)

But in the end...

we chose...

• Mother Teresa = all kinds of service projects and then we are going to relate them to her life and the services she did!

i am very excited because we made a great choice! 

yay for our group! 

and way to meet outside of class!

love ya lots

it's been tierre.

big project that has made me more of a dsciple-scholar...hhmmmmm

it's tierre. 

there are a lot of thought buzzing around in my head right now, so i am just going to start writing/typing and see what comes out.

anyway, one project that made a better disciple scholar for school was getting to perform a dance called "just for now" at the Senior Showcase. I guess that seems kind of strange but it was a great experience to choreograph and perform a dance so that others could understand how i feel. also, it was a great missionary opportunity for me because many of the other dancers in the piece weren't members. we practiced in the stake center at my church and it was a good opportunity for them to talk a little about the gospel. then at one practice one of my friends found out that one of her family friends had just passed away. we had an opportunity to pray together in the church, and even though it wasn't necessarily the typical prayer that you would hear in a mormon church. it was a great experience for all of us to have. we came closer together as friends, learned more about dancing and learned about leadership and instruction and working together, and we learned about coming closer to our Father in Heaven and relying on Him in times of trial!

love you lots,

and...
