Week 70 - Baptisms back in Los Banos, New Work, Conference Time!





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
