Hey all!
It was a wonderful wonderful week! Very crazy but great. Here´s the report.
Elder Francisco went home on Wednesday. It was short and sweet. I really will miss him. He was a great elder and taught me a lot. I am with Elder Smidt from Idaho right now and I am already really grateful for him. We are going to be great friends to be sure and we are going to inspire the zone to have more success! He is great.
The highlight of the week was the Mission Tour with Elder Jairo Mazzagardi of the Second Quorum of the Seventy. Man, that was a great experience. They had a meeting with the leadership of the mission before the general session and I was playing prelude on the piano when suddenly, I heard everyone stand up and get quiet all of the sudden. Elder Mazzagardi entered the room and inspected us. And then President asked me to play Called to Serve to open the meeting. Man was I nervous! Literally I was praying the whole time that the Lord would have mercy and bless my fingers to not mess up. Playing piano for a Seventy - that´s motivation to practice for you!
The conference was awesome and very inspiring. I learned so much and felt so much. Elder Mazzagardi really likes music and talked about how music has a great impact on us. He asked a group of us missionaries to sing Brightly Beams our Father´s Mercy and it was a really spiritual experience. He told us that we were in the agenda of the Lord for that day and I believe it because of the strong spirit that we felt and the truths that were confirmed to us during that day.
The best part was that after the conference ended, the assistants told me that I would be interviewed by Elder Mazzagardi. The interview was an experience I will never forget - it was only 5 minutes but filled with the Spirit. I know that he is a servant of the Lord - it was as if he was reading my thoughts and knew the answers to my questions and concerns. I am so grateful for the Spirit of Revelation. It is real my friends, it is real.
Other than that, we have our work cut out for is this week. We´re praying for a miracle so that we can reach our baptism goal this week. I know the Lord will bless us if we are obedient.
I know this Church is true! I know that God answers our prayers! Have a great week!
Elder Jacó
