Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was a Catholic from birth before becoming a Christian in 2002

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

In the Catholic church, I used to train Lectors, Communion ministers, teach Pre baptism cathechesis for adults, since 1992

Have given retreat for young adults in the last year of school, organise prayer for families

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Travelling with my uncle who was a Priest around villages

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:

My sister *(8 years) and my son (4 years) passed away at a very young age through accidents. That led me to study the bible.
