Teresa Valenzuela<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

On December 16, 2007, I walked into the Mastery of Life Center to hear guest speaker Dr. Terry Cole Whitaker. I had found the spiritual home I had been searching for all my life. Through Science of <\/span>Mind<\/span> I have found that Thoughts + Feelings + Action = Manifestation of an incredible life. One of the spiritual practices that impacts my life over and over again <\/span>are<\/span> tithing the 3 T’s: my Talents, my Treasure and my Time. Through the study of Religious Science, Faith has replaced doubt, Trust has replaced fear and Serenity has replaced chaos. And the journey continues<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I\u2019m<\/span> extremely pleased with the SOM Spanish class I took with Dr. <\/span>Pellarolo<\/span>. She had <\/span>very helpful<\/span> handouts <\/span>illustrating\u00a0 how<\/span> to use SOM vernacular in <\/span>Spanish<\/span> and I am now confident that I can give treatments in Spanish! Woohoo! <\/span>I\u2019d<\/span> love to take it again, just to practice combining my treatment and Spanish skills!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Raymond Marvin<\/h2><\/div>

\n

I began giving to Science of Mind before I had enough to pay my regular bills because I believed Ernest Holmes’ messages<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>To grow a plant, you must plant a seed and tend it<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>That seed is the knowledge that we are already prosperous beyond measure and that sharing our abundance with our source opens the floodgates of a joyful, serving experience of Life. Winston Churchill said it well: “<\/span><\/span>We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rev. Dr. Raymont Anderson has held my interest <\/span>with<\/span> ASL Skill building by his wit, <\/span>humor<\/span> and professionalism. I always <\/span>appreciate<\/span> when our center features Rev. Raymont, singing with his skilled hands, <\/span>signing<\/span> beautifully as the music plays. I enjoyed this series immensely and look forward to signing up for the 2022 ASL series.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Betty Illana Vergara<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Directora<\/span> Espiritual Betty Illana Vergara did not have an easy road to learning Science of Mind. During a divorce and with a newly diagnosed special needs child, she moved from Mexico to Los Angeles to study this philosophy. After some time, she returned to her native Mexico but felt the call to go deeper. Her ministerial classes required her to travel eight hours in each direction, leaving home around midnight <\/span>in order to<\/span> be in Mexico City at 8 a.m., get to class and then turn right around and go home that afternoon.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Obakeng Gaitate<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Rev. Obakeng <\/span>Gaitate\u2019s<\/span> first interview for affiliation took a few attempts. The internet is not <\/span>all that stable<\/span> in South Africa, and the electricity was turned off. <\/span>In order to<\/span> complete the first steps of affiliating as a minister, he logged on to the same meeting <\/span>over and over again<\/span>, all by candlelight. Even so, his enthusiasm lit up the room. Obakeng had already found ways to take some of the ministerial classes before realizing that he could affiliate using his credentials from his earlier training. His heart\u2019s desire is to reach as many people as possible with this teaching that has changed his life.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
