I do lots of athletics, including racing and shot put. Before every race I say a quick prayer and ask God to help me. There’ve been a few times where I thought there was no way I could win, but then God blessed me and helped me push through.

Sometimes I’ve had promptings with sports. Once at a shot put event I was going to do a certain technique, but I had a feeling to use a different one, and I won!

I know that I won’t win at sports every time, and that’s OK. But I think Heavenly Father cares about my personal development. He cares about everything in our lives. He gives gifts to people, and He cares about my gifts.

Heavenly Father cares about my personal development.

Australia is home to the Great Barrier Reef, which has around 4,000 species of fish.

If you visited one Australian beach each day, it would take more than 30 years to see them all.

There are around 40 million kangaroos and at least 1 million camels in Australia.
