Where Are They Now? ---> Hope Ti

My name is En-Shuang, but you can also call me Hope.  It has been a long time since I “graduated” from the Chinese branch.  When I was a member of the Chinese branch I had many different callings like in  婦女會, 兒童會 and also in 女青年 too. These three callings helped me a lot, but I didn’t know it during that period of time. If you ask me to do them again, I would try to do my best even more and better.

In fact, I have so many memorable experiences in the Chinese branch: firesides at Brother Foulger's farm and activities inside the church. There were all great memories.  The one that influenced me the most was the day I got baptized. I remember it was a sunny day. I went home after the Sacrament meeting. A few hours later I drove all the way from my house to the church.  Inside the car, I was very happy and grateful for who I am and where I am.  When I got inside the church, friends were preparing for my baptism.  I won’t tell you everything in detail here because you got to experience it yourself.  There is only one thing I can tell you, and that is to be baptized was one of the greatest things I have done for myself so far.  It is one of the ways to get closer to our Heavenly Father. It can help you to be a better person and to be someone not just you. Heavenly Father help us in many different ways. Sometimes you may not even notice that He is there to help, but don’t see it through your eyes.  Use your heart.  You will be able to see the beauty of everything.

Right now I am working in a school near by the airport. I hear and see the airplanes take off everyday, and it makes me want to go back to Chinese branch to visit all of my lovely friends there. There are so many times I watch the airplane fly by and shout “take me with you.”  My students will laugh at me because they think I am such a goofy teacher We have over 200 students in our school from kindergarten to elementary school. I am teaching in kindergarten.  My students are about 6 years old. This is a very important age because they have to get ready to go to elementary school. Due to the environment and the heavy working hours, I don’t have time for myself.  Kindergartens in my country are very different.  This is the reason why I am still not married, but I am looking forward to it happening one day.
