Doing some or doing all, none of them make a person exempt from tragedy.<br /><br /> Yesterday's episode of <a href="http://www.sistasinzion.com/2012/06/sistas-in-zion-radio-mariama-kallon.html" target="_blank">SIZ Radio</a> was an eye opening, powerful and empowering show on violence, it's prevention and the might of forgiveness.

We listened to Carly Ostler of <a href="http://voicesofcourage.byu.edu/" target="_blank">Voices of Courage</a> speak on the impact that violence can have in our lives, how a <a href="http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/7765" target="_blank">NCMO</a> (Non-committal Make-out) can be damaging, and most importantly, ways that we can eradicate violence from our culture. We heard first hand from <a href="http://deseretbook.com/timeout/presenter/20088" target="_blank">Mariama Kallon</a> as she tearfully shared with us her painful experiences of sexual assault, child slavery and the murder of her entire family.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUr0ql_NbQcuh0CX900SAJwrBWdaCrR0cur_WlOH91himNVdNUqcfxTohbC8b09dThnC67wSe53wRvJ0_EZHpYyEa2RPBPNfGDhDOkT347wuHu0phmMYChbL9TAOz-GOe-w4JjWkZdwf4/s1600/IMG_8324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUr0ql_NbQcuh0CX900SAJwrBWdaCrR0cur_WlOH91himNVdNUqcfxTohbC8b09dThnC67wSe53wRvJ0_EZHpYyEa2RPBPNfGDhDOkT347wuHu0phmMYChbL9TAOz-GOe-w4JjWkZdwf4/s320/IMG_8324.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Left: Mariama Kallon, Right: Carly Ostler w/ BYU's VOC</td></tr></tbody></table>One of us recently spoke with a non-LDS friend who has family members that are <a href="http://lds.org/" target="_blank">LDS</a>. She told of how some of her family members conveyed to her that they felt lucky, that because they were LDS they would never go through some of the life experiences that she was having. It made her feel alone, and as if they felt that because she had not chosen the same religion as them, that she had brought her trials upon herself.<br />  <span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Rape doesn't care if you're <a href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank">Mormon</a>. Neither does divorce, </span><span style="background-color: white;">adultery</span><span style="background-color: white;">, low self-esteem, bullying, pornography or any other of life's tribulations. Yes we can make choices in life that put us in harm's way, but being Christian doesn't automatically make one an </span><span style="background-color: white;">exemplary</span><span style="background-color: white;"> decision maker.</span><br /><br />We have never thought that because we are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints trouble would just pass us by, in fact our life experiences pointed out the contrary from a very young age. But we can't deny that we too had certain naivety as to why other people's lives seemed so much more than ours or how we could prevent things from happening to us. On the show Mariama told of a saying in Africa that says; "After God, is the white man," and spoke of how she would go through the garbage cans of a white person in Africa because even their garbage seemed better.<br /><br />When we look at our lives or the lives of others with skewed perception it's easy to think that we aren't susceptible to abuse or crime. Or to think that the statistics don't apply to us. It's easy to look at the life of another and think we know why their life appears better or worse than ours. Trial, tribulation, and sin know well the lesson of sharing, and they can be doled out on anyone.<br /><br />So if your faith doesn't exempt you, what good is it? Now that we know that we can all find ourselves IN trouble, their must be a way OUT of it. Mariama spoke of how she prays daily for a "heart of forgiveness." In the end she says that the people who have done things to her have moved on and are living their lives, and that if she does not forgive and dwells in the past that she will only hurt herself. Mariama testified that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is helping her to do just that, so that she can heal.

After losing her entire family and everything she owned, she was guided to safety as she found refuge with a Latter-day Saint family in her native Sierra Leone. Touched by the teachings of the Restoration, and full of gratitude for all the Lord had done for her, Mariama wanted to wear her own missionary nametag. With barely a single change of clothes and a Church-sent hygiene kit as her only worldly possessions, she made the trek to the United States and began a full-time mission on Temple Square.<br />   <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="239" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kZL3mlQZ4Kk?rel=0" width="425"></iframe><br />The Sistas will be talking with Mariama about why she has chosen to share her story and where her life is today.

Don't Forget to Pray

We come from families where you "say grace" even if you're at a public restaurant. Sometimes it ain't no thing but a chicken wing and other times it's slightly awkward and depending on your age a little embarrassing.
