耶穌基督賜天賦Angela Johnson成爲天才雕塑家

   Angela在亞蒙大拿哥倫比亞成長,目前居住在亞利桑那州吉爾伯特,是一位虔誠的基督徒。
    Angela從13就開始學習聲樂,是一位有25年演唱生涯的歌唱家,一個偶然她發現自己還是一個雕塑藝術家。那時在Angela 接近40歲的時候,她發現自己在練習唱歌時,總是不那么愉快,一天她終于關上鋼琴蓋,開車到了一家藝術品商店,買了雕刻工具和水粘土回家,到家後就開始做雕塑,幾個小時後,一個小女孩展現在她面前。太神奇了,她從來沒有學過雕塑,她知道這是上帝的手指在觸及她的心。她用她的生命和心靈去觸摸去感受。Angela Johnson,耶穌基督給她天賦,讓她成爲一個天才雕塑家,雕刻出生動的藝術作品。
    覽中心所展出的十多個藝術雕塑品有的風格細膩,有的氣勢磅礴,加上倆位敎會姊妹Sister Dunn 和Eirker 有聲有色的解説,更讓人感動,上帝給每一個人帶來的是愛和信任,本報記者聽得入了迷。
    Angela的經歷讓人認識到每個人都是獨特的,都有平等的機會,只要做事不害怕,大膽嘗試,就能走向你自己都像想不到的成功。

     Come visit Historic Kirtland, a small settlement in northern Ohio, where members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered shortly after the Church was founded. Between 1831 and 1838 Joseph Smith and early members of the Church established Church headquarters in Kirtland, built a temple, and laid a foundation of strength for the future.
      A discovery of Kirtland and the surrounding area begins at the Historic Kirtland Visitors' Center. A new film dramatizes the significant events that unfolded here during the 1830s. Guided tours of the historic village, including the Newel K. and Elizabeth Ann Whitney Home, Newel K Whitney Store and John Johnson Inn, begin here. These tours will help visitors appreciate the history of Kirtland's faithful residents while the Church was headquartered here.
Other nearby historic sites include the *Kirtland Temple, the temple quarry, the Sidney Rigdon home, the Kirtland Temple cemetery, the Isaac Morely farm, the Hyrum Smith home, the Johnson home in Hiram, and Fairport Harbor.
