"Proclaim the Gospel.....

.....and sometimes open your mouth" That was said by the last speaker we heard today.  It was a wonderful talk, about bearing testimony.  I was feeling poorly all day yesterday, I didn't even leave the apartment, nor did I change out of my nightgown until I took a shower last night.  But I sprung out of bed this morning and we attended two wards in Laie, then came back to Hau'ula ward where I gave the RS lesson on Beware the Bitter fruits of Apostasy.  I had Kea draw a large picture on butcher paper of a coconut tree, with coconuts on it.  I drew a small size version for my notes, and Kea drew the one I used in Class.  Oh, I love this Hau'ula Third ward.  These saints are real.  They are so warm.  There will be a baptism at Kakela Beach tomorrow morning just across the street from here, and we will be there, as representatives, not to look for shells or to exercise, but to lend support for this family and this ward who have supported this young man.  
While excommunicated Saints in California rail against the church, these new members take hold of this church.   We proclaim the gospel to be true.  We proclaim our Savior, Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, who loves us all.
