Buenos Dias!!!
Hello from Trujillo!
OK, to be honest I am going to have to start getting creative with my
blog emails because I spend a lot of my day in the office or in immigrations,
and the stories of office life only go so far. Ok well this week during our
time actually teaching about Jesus Christ we had a really awesome opportunity
where we found some old investigators who had disappeared for months. They had
been receiving the missionaries for 4 month, were reading the scriptures, and
attending church. Then all of a sudden summer rolled around and they completely
disappeared for 3 months. That is until yesterday when we found them in the
house a couple we are teaching. It is sometimes so cool to see how the Spirit
guides us to do little things that can often make all the difference if we
choose to follow them. In this case following the prompting to visit this
investigator couple helped to guide us to find these old investigators once
again and to pick up where we left off. How marvelous right?!?
That reminds me also of something that really called my
attention from the previous General Conference this past weekend. General
conference is a worldwide broadcast put on by the leaders of the church where
we are able to hear messages from the president of the church (who is
considered to be a prophet of God), the twelve apostles, and other church leaders.
The current president of the church is named Russell M. Nelson and he is just
awesome. He gave a message about the importance of seeking personal revelation
and how to obtain it. Revelation is when God communicates with us, and
therefore personal revelation is when God gives us personalized answers to our prayers
to guide us in whatever situation that presents itself. If we seek personal
revelation through prayer, scripture study, and by living worthily we will have
his guidance in his life constantly that helps us take the decisions necessary
for both our Earthly and Eternal happiness. We have the guidance from someone
who is all knowing and all powerful and all we have to do to receive this help
is to ask for it. It is amazing and it is a true sign of how much God loves
us.
Well this has been an awesome week and this week will be
just as great here in Trujillo. }
Love,
Elder Jack Vassau
