Buenos Dias!
This has been another great week here in Primavera. This
week I had a really fun time trying out a new way to contact people. Last
sunday we, as an office, decided to go contact in a park using a big banner of
Jesus Christ. We were going to test it out here because it is not something
that generally is done here in Peru. Well we decided to give it a try for a
short hour because we had an appointment at 4 where President Marble was going
to accompany us. Well what happened was we got to the park at around 315pm and
we found a nice spot to put up the banner. Within less than 30 seconds of
getting the Christ banner up and going, someone walks up to me and starts
asking what we were doing. I explained to him we are missionaries and I began
to explain to him a little bit about what we do. He then said "Perfect! So
you guys are exactly what I am looking for!". He then proceeded to invite
us over to a near by bench to chat about numerous Gospel and Christ centered
themes for nearly a half an hour. It was so crazy how fast God worked in our
Park situation. We were there for less than 30 seconds before someone presented
themselves. Someone who God had been preparing to receive this message. It was
awesome.
This week we also had a great experience sharing a family
home evening with the Murga family where we taught them about God's Plan of
Salvation. Nothing brings so much happiness and peace to a family as the
knowledge and understanding that family life does not finish here on Earth, but
rather that a family can be eternal. God's plan, although often we do not
understand it while here on Earth, is something that shapes us into being
happier and better people. The Murga family, like most families, has been
passing through various challenges with health recently. Bother Hermana Murga
and her dad have recently suffered accidents that have limited their mobility.
When we see all that happens in this life in the perspective of God's eternal
plan, it makes it just a little bit easier to take on life's challenges.
Well another awesome week here in Primavera. Here in Peru
everyone is getting super excited for the World Cup, the first in which Peru
will participate in about 36 years. To commemorate that we bought matching
office Peru jerseys (see photo).
I hope all is well back on the home front.
Love,
Elder Vassau
