My Family- 4 generation program

During the this interview cycle, Sister Marler is providing insight into the "My Family" Pamphlet

Elder Bates displays his "My Family, Stories that Bring Us Together"

The purpose of the "My Family" Pamphlet is to help people have an easy start to their genealogy, and through memories and stories, bring families closer together.

The pages include the names, dates and special memories of each missionary and their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. 

Sister Marler displays her eternal family as she teaches about the importance of using the "My Family" booklet. 

Our goal is to use this pamphlet while teaching and have those we teach have the opportunity to think about their family history and begin to more fully appreciate their family heritage.  Every one can get started on their "My Family" book, by printing from this link: MyFamiyBooklet-2.pdf

 "My Family" is available throughout the world in 22 languages.

Sister Marler loves her family tree, and here she displays pictures of her mother's family

Families are the basic, foundational unit of the Church of Jesus Christ.  It is within the family that we nurture, raise and train.  

In the closing chapter of the Old Testament, Malachi, shares the following, " Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers." 

The Angel Moroni reemphasized this message in his initial instructions to Joseph Smith in 1823, as the Gospel of Jesus Christ was restored to the earth.  Thus the statue of the Angel Moroni is place on each of our temples, as we sound the trump and welcome the Second Coming of our Savior

This is our goal, to bring families together for all eternity.

Baptisms this last week

We love to share the pictures of the baptisms that are sent to us each week.  It is such a blessing to serve during this time.  We are seeing many people come, and return to Christ.  We feel blessed to be instruments in the Lord's hands and help people find their way back "home."

The entire Arana family are now members of the Church of Jesus Christ.  Now they are preparing to go to the temple together as a family next summer! Congratulations to the Arana family. 

The Vista Allegre Ward came out in full support, what a lovely sight.
Elder Porter, Elder Spencer and Elder Valencia were so excited about this wonderful baptism.
What a great way for Elder Porter to spend his birthday!

Elder Bates, Sister Pullan and Sister Hidalgo rejoice at a baptism.

Two baptisms with Elder Cruz and Elder Swaney

 Elder Marchant and Elder Valencia, happy to be teaching and preaching.

 It takes a ward to baptize, love and retain…all missionaries in the Trujillo Mission are so thankful for the wonderful ward members and welcome and continue to bless the lives of those who chose to follow Jesus Christ and accept baptism into His Church.

Sister Taylor and Sister Degracias are so happy on this baptism day.

Esperanza Stake - "La Invitación"

The Esperanza Stake hosted a wonderful program this past Sunday.  

The Missionaries from several zones presented songs, testimonies and The Spirit.  

The Missionary choir started the evening by entering the hall, singing "Called to Serve Him"

 Over 1,100 people were in attendance to hear the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

 The Zone Leaders, Elder Diaz and Elder Brown organized a great evening, under the direction of

Brother Rocky Cisneros (who just happened to serve a mission in the San Diego California Mission a few years ago)

 President Bravo (Stake President of the Esperanza Stake) and President Marler with their wives,

the "Obra de Salvación" is bringing many souls to Christ as we work together with our local priesthood leaders, and membership.  

We thank everyone for this wonderful evening.

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

Elder Haake plays a violin solo, "I know that My Redeemer Lives" 

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!
