Baptisms in Trujillo

Our work as missionaries is to invite people to come unto Christ  

The missionaries work each day in a designated area, with companions

As they visit homes, by invitation of the family, they teach lessons about the doctrines of Christ

They teach the principles that he taught while upon the earth, about His love and 

His atoning sacrifice for them 

With this gift of His perfect life, His suffering in Gethsemane, His death on the cross, and His resurrection.  We too can raise from the dead, and be with our family and loved ones for all eternity  

The invitation to come unto Christ is an invitation to follow in His footsteps and one of the first things the Savior did as He began His ministry was to be baptized.  He said it was to fulfill all righteousness

For us Baptism is the door that leads us to path we are to walk for the rest of our lives

Baptism cleanses us from sin 

Baptism is a sacred ordinance, a saving ordinance

When we are baptized we become members of Christ's Church

In Christ's Church, we are baptized with Priesthood Authority, 

the same authority that John the Baptist held

We follow Christ and are baptized by immersion, that means that we are totally submerged in the water and come forth clean, new and pure…

We hope you enjoyed some of the pictures of our recent baptisms, and learned a little more about baptism in the Lord's Church

Porvenir Stake Provides a night of Music and the Spoken Word

The Porvenir Stake held a special evening with the Stake President and Mission President. (April 27) The purpose of the event was to invite the neighborhood to come and hear about the

 Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It was a beautiful night of music and testimonies of our Savior. 

The Trujillo Mission Choir sang under the direction of Sister Wayman

Presidente Quiñones of the Porvenir Stake had this wonderful idea to gather everyone together  for this wonderful evening
President Quiñones spoke of the "Obra De Salvación"  and the great need for us to hasten the work of the Lord in these "last days", before the second coming of the Lord.  He invited all to come unto Christ, and follow in his footsteps.  

The Missionaries arrived to start the program by singing "Called to Serve Him" as they entered the Chapel

President Marler shared a message of the Resurrected Lord, and his great love for all of His children here on the earth.  He expressed his gratitude for the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Not everyone was present for the beginning of the meeting, but in usually Peruvian style, the Chapel was filled with 500 people during the program.  Many who attended, not only enjoyed the program, but have met with the missionaries for lessons and have been baptized.  

What a great experience!
