每個月在教會都會舉辦有關男女青年的協進會活動.這次我們結合了男青年一起來學習藝術課程.這天的早晨下著大雨.我帶著孩子一起去參加.因為我是今天的藝術課程老師.我們一開始的時候是由傳教士來分享有關如何使用臉書分享福音.並讓我們看了一部教會的靈性短片,讓我們想想有誰可以讓我們分享福音.即使是簡短的文章分享.
Every month we hold the youth activity in order to helping them to feel the spirit. Today we are going to learn about creativity. First of all, our missionaries came to share about how to use Facebook and Media to share the gospel with others. We watched a short church video from yutube and it was about how people joined the church and how they changed. We really enjoyed watching it.
後來,傳教士們拿了摩爾門經,讓我們大家寫下對經文的見證.這樣他們可以在接觸人的時候.分享大家所寫的見證的經文.我覺得在這個時間點.真的很有聖靈.大家默默並安靜的在摩爾門經的第一頁寫上見證.我們都希望收到的人可以感受到我們在福音中的快樂..連最小的晴晴,才小學三年級,她不是女青年.但是她也很專心的在寫她的見證.這一幕真的好感動喔!大家寫完後,我們開心的拍大合照.並且傳教士準備離開繼續他們傳教的工作.
After watching the video, missionaries gave each one of us a Book Of Mormon. They wanted us to write our testimony inside of the first page where there is a space to write down our thoughts and testimony for this book. Each one of us sat done and wrote our testimony with wonderful and quite moment. Even third grade little girl , who is our first councler's daughter, she wrote about her testimony inside of the book. I was really touched by her great example. It was beautiful watching her to write. After finished , we took a picture so missionaries could put the picture inside the book and gave those books to people.
接下來我們開始學習怎麼用最簡單的紙板來做手鍊.這是連小朋友都會喜歡的.因為非常的簡單.
只要剪個圓形並畫出八等份.每個等份的線都剪一小刀.並準備七條毛線,綁好後穿到中間的洞口.
就可以開始進行製作了!主要就是把線繞到沒有毛線的那個位置即可,最後就會變成手鍊囉!
Missionaries had to leave because they had to work. And we continued our activity. Today i was going to teach them how to make a bracelet by yarn.
Some of them knew how to make but most of them did not know how. It was fun activity .Each one of us was so excited!
大家很努力且專注的製作.一直很喜歡跟女青們一起學習.因為從他們身上真的可以看到學習的態度跟專心.
雖然今天只有一位男青年到場.但他比較不太喜歡女孩子的手作.但他努力在寫他的摩爾門經的見證.
Young women are so cute to make their own bracelet. When i looked at their face, i felt so touched.
They were so focusing on what they were making and without any sound. Even some of them knew how to make,
they didn't complain this activit making them to feel bored. I really admire them a lot.
However, we had only one young man came to join with us. He was to shy to take a picture.
最後,我教大家怎麼畫禪繞畫.說真的,真正要授課的禪繞畫老師需要要證照的.但我們只是好玩.
讓大家有個基本概念.然後再透過自由發揮來創作.因為禪繞畫的書很多.我們的活動就是讓男女青可以快樂一起學習.
重點不在於活動的重要性,而是在過程中大家一起快樂的分享所學習的喜悅,也分享福音所賜的祝福.
就在這兩樣的活動下,我們兩小時很快就結束了!雖然這天下著雨.但我們的心真的滿滿的感動跟快樂.
感動是我們可以在一起學習福音,並彼此互相鞏固.做有幫助於靈性的事情.
藝術課程是可以讓我們心比較平靜.並感受到神創造的美好.
Finally, I taught everyone how to draw Zentangle.
Although i am not a professional for drawing that,the most important part is to have fun together.
I was super glad they enjoyed what i taught them. After this activity, everyone told me: " we want to go to buy pens!"
We enjoyed creating because we could feel God's love by His creation. We are not artist but we can do a little thing to feel God's love.
