Paramonga - Week 24


El Profeta tiene REVELACIÓN

I think we all felt something special in general conference this weekend. Now we need to specifically remember what we felt, and live it.

This week we got in a car to take us back to Paramonga after being in Barranca all morning in the district meeting. The driver seemed like a normal everyday Peruvian, but after exchanging a few words we realized that not only was he a member of the church but he was also a councilor in the stake presidency. One of the aspects of the restored church that I love is that local leaders are everyday normal people who work, have families, and have many personal responsibilities, but on top of that they direct the work and the church of God. It's amazing. That councilor told us a cool phrase that doesn't sound that cool in English but it does in Castellano El que no vive para servir, no sirve para vivir. He that doesn't live to serve, doesn't act to live.

I am very happy that there is now a South American in the Quorum of the Twelve. I echo the words of Elder Soares that when the Lord wants something to happen he will work miracles to make it happen. But the miracles come as a result of our faith.
