Week 64: SHARING OUR GIFTS AND TALENTS

Our Heavenly Father blesses each of his children with different talents and different gifts.  Our challenge is to recognize, develop and share our unique talents with others.  We also need to remember to express gratitude for all of our blessings and know how merciful the Lord is in each of our very individual lives and unique circumstances. Elder Miller enjoys recognizing the talents of the young missionaries we serve with and likes to help them see their unique strengths and learn how these gifts can bless the lives of others.  

A special lifelong friendship has developed between the talented artist J. Christanto and Elder and Sister Miller. We recently attended the Visual Art Exhibition Per LaWanan 1-5 April 2019 Galeri Seni Rupa Taman Budaya Jawa Tengah.

The painting on the left is titled “United” (J Christanto 2019). The described style Christanto writes is “ ‘expressionism’ abstract size 100cm x 150 cm material oil and acrylic on canvas.”  Christanto is seen here with students from the campus of UNS.  The painting on the right is titled  “Power of Hungry” (J Christanto 2019)  (multiple mix mask, Acrylic)
