It was my first time. I got to meet some of my heroes and I cried because I was touched by the spirit. I loved being able to actually laugh and have a good time while I was being spiritually fed. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

It’s a Creation, Not a Gift

DO Get Your Hopes Up
How many times have you heard the phrase: “Don’t get your hopes up.” Well, there’s none of that here. Low hopes never helped anyone! We want you to get your hopes UP—and keep ’em way up there. Amanda believes in changing what you hope for and believing hope can change you.
Survivor of war-torn Sierra Leone, humanitarian beneficiary; LDS convert and public speaker; attended LDS Business College
Raised in war-torn Sierra Leone, Mariama Kallon saw many things as a young girl that might fill a person with fear and hatred. Soon after witnessing the violent murders of parents and siblings and spending her youth fleeing from rebels, she was introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ and found hope in God and peace in a knowledge of eternal families. She was given a humanitarian kit by the Church, which became a treasured symbol of hope that she used to bless the lives of many as they again fled for their lives. After returning to her town, she was called on a mission to the Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission, and wept in gratitude to the Lord as she visited the place where her precious humanitarian kit was made. Today Mariama stands as an example of the divine purposes of humanitarian work and tells her story to numerous audiences, urging them to participate in this work.
