Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

To see families who got saved and see them being used so greatly in God’s Kingdom.

Did a detailed Evangelism Explosion training on gospel training that helps me to share my faith with confidence. I completed the kids gospel training for kids age that i thought in church and took them to present it to a residential rest home.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Persecution from family and relatives after accepting Jesus and it helps me to understand others who go through persecution after accepting Jesus

Kids were in Catholic School for 3 years and I attended many of the Catholic Mass Services and completed 3 Sacramental programs with my children. It helped me to understand how the Catholic religion is like and many truth that is not thought correctly in the church. It helps me to reach out to the Catholic.

Christians in church who had false accusations. It helped me not to fall into the trap of the enemy which is the Bait of Satan. I help others on how to deal with offense.
