Meetings

It has been a week about meetings here in Perú. My testimony of the organization and order of Christ's church has grown even more. This past week we had interviews with President. We cleaned up the church and prepped the zone so that everything would go smoothly. 

I received some needed guidance and everyone's interviews went great. Leadership council was Wednesday and we learned about trust, communication, and connection. Our presence is crucial to how we can teach and how others can receive us. We practiced and improved our approaches and I left feeling prepared. We studied 1 Corinthians 14:19-20, "Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men."

On Friday we had a multi-zone conference where we recalled the message from President Nelson about 'Let God Prevail'. His Son Jesus Christ is at the center and everything we do must be revolved and focused on Him. Mosiah 26:17 talks about establishing the church; what are we doing to establish the church where we are right now? Love, share, and invite with faith of action and power.

We had some amazing lessons with our little friend Anthony throughout the week. We met up on Saturday to talk about the plan of happiness and it was his 9th birthday too. His parents are great and accepting to us, his baptism is coming up soon. We also had another zone invasion activity in the area of some elders. It was exciting and we got a run of people back in contact with their missionaries. Days are packed and we're pretty busy, it's awesome. Chow mein everyone!
