Buenos Dias!
This has been a great week here in the Misión Peru Trujillo
Norte. This week we have had the really strange and new opportunity to begin
using technology here in the mission. Wow. Crazy. All of the missions here in
Peru we are really low tech compared to the missions in other parts of the
world where people have iPads and lots of things at their disposal. That being
said here in the mission I have been working on putting together USB drives for
all of the missionaries that are full of selected videos for proselyting. My
companion and I have been testing the USBs out, us being somewhat Guinea Pigs
(a little ironic). It has been working great with many of our investigators
here in Primavera. One family in particular really had a great experience this week
with our new videos. We were teaching Gladys and her son Javier, the wife and
son of a super cool recent convert. What we decided to teach them that day was
our most fundamental lesson, which is the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. This message teaches about how God is our loving Heavenly Father, how
he has given us his Gospel from the beginning through prophets, it teaches
about Jesus Christ, and the confusion that came in the time following His
death. It is really special but it really has more of an effect when someone is
able to apply it in their own life. We showed the following video to help
Gladys´ son to really understand how he could apply this message to his own
life and begin taking the steps to follow Jesus Christ. Everyone should give it
a look if they have 5 min.
Technology is able to help people to get information quickly
and in this case as missionaries we can even use technology to help people to
feel the spirit quickly.
We have also been starting to utilize another set of super
cool Chapel Tours videos that help people to understand what we really do in our
church allowing them to understand our focus in Jesus Christ. That is really
the focus of all that we do. Our purpose is to invite all to come unto Christ,
and even through a short video clip someone can really feel that motivation to
come unto Christ.
You can find the Chapel Tours videos in the LDS Library App.
They are awesome.
Well this has been a great week here in Peru. This past
Monday I had to send another group of missionaries off to the airport as they
finished their missions. We said goodbye to some dear friends including my
trainer Elder Barboza, but life goes one. The mission is awesome!
Love,
Elder Vassau
