my good works talk at new begginings

3rd Nephi 12:16 says therefore let your light so shine before his people, that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven.

There's a quote that says i will help others and build the kingdom through righteous service. i love this quote because helping others gives me a peaceful feeling inside and it's something i strive to do in my life. i'm lucky because i have the chance to serve others and me a good example at my school because i am the student body president. in this role, i am able to serve my school by reaching out to kids, planning activities and representing the voice of the students. i'm also able to serve my community by establishing service projects within the school. this year i helped my school to participate in teens for jeans which is a service project that provides jeans to homeless teenagers. there are lots of ways to serve others we can serve others at our schools in our communities, through our church callings and in our homes. at my house i am going to try to show acts of kindness, cook dinner one a week, and help my sister study. service is a big part of my life and i encourage all of you to include serving others in your life as a way of serving god. service doesn't have to be big it can start with small things we each do. mother teresa once said if you can't fees a hundred people, then feed just one.

being in young womens gives us many chances to serve others so please take that chance.
