Cebisile’s Helping Hands
Cebisile has a friend at school who is very shy. When the class goes outside, other kids won’t play with him. So Cebisile invites him to play with her.
On fast Sunday, Cebisile and her family fast and pray for those who need help. “Serving others gives me a happy feeling inside,” Cebisile says. “I love doing what the Saviour would do. I love the warm feeling in my heart that comes from the Holy Ghost.”
