Mele Kalikimaka Kahalu'u Ward Ohana,
I’m lost for words that would begin to be sufficient enough to express gratitude and appreciation to our amazing Ward Ohana. Recently we have had the wonderful opportunity along with many blessings to experience as both youth and leaders “Fundraising”. We have been able to witness the true meaning of Ohana. The ward has come out in full support and then some without any hesitation for the youth.
As we diligently and humbly do the Lord's work we are blessed and able to witness miracles.
We are so proud in a humbling way of ALL our youth. During these past few weeks we have witnessed them come out to work at the earliest hours of the morning and stay till the darkest of the evenings in efforts to help raise funds for future upcoming events such as FSY, High Adventure and youth retreats. We've seen them come from LONG days of seminary, school, athletic practices , upcoming Christmas concert rehearsals and, for some, even work. Their efforts really validate this quote shared recently a wise man: “There is joy to be found throughout the chaos."
With an attitude of gratitude in each and everyone of them, as they arrive and report to a shift taking on any and all responsibilities, we once again were able to witness the strength of our youth. We pray for those who didn’t have the opportunity to come out. They are loved and missed; we hope in time they may soon be able to join us. We have grown to LOVE and APPRECIATE each and every one of you by name. Thank you for being the youth of our Kahalu’u Ward and of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
During this joyous season of the remembrance of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, let us not get overwhelmed by things of little matter. Let us be as the humble shepherds who left their worldly concerns and went “with haste” to see the Christ child. Let us devote our attention to sharing the light and redeeming message of the gospel of Jesus Christ without reserve and without delay! With Much Love & Aloha, Shelley Ah Nee
Kahalu'u Ward Young Women's President
