Beloved ones. We were welcomed with the visit of two General Authorities of the Church this past Friday! Brother M. Joseph Brough of the YM General Presidency and the long lost son of James E. Talmage, Tad R. Calister, came down to Nicaragua and had a little zone conference with the 3 zones of Nicaragua. What we learned was incredible and the Spirit we felt was humbling and edifying. We traveled to Chinandega and the promised North Lands of Nicaragua (Estelí) to put on the Multi-Zone conferences with the rest of the troops with President Poncio. He always puts a smile on my face hahaha!
On
Monday, we did a few Family Home Evenings with members and investigators
in the Maximo! Long story short, if you let your foundation grow weak,
you had to dig it out with your mouth. Joy to world watching old ladies
slam their faces into plates of flour!
Brother Calister talked purely about the importance of understanding the doctrine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. "The
Holy Ghost cannot teach doctrine. He can only give a confirming
testimony to the recipient of the message. Every investigator NEEDS and
DESERVES someone who can be that vessel of the Holy Ghost, who knows the
doctrine, and can teach it with clarity." A few weeks ago, I read
his book on the Atonement of Jesus Christ and was praying that he would
talk about it.. My wish came true baby! He went right into the
deep doctrine of the Lord´s sacrifice and the Spirit hit me to my bones.
"The Atonement of Jesus Christ means to literally be At-One-With
Him. It his the most divine showing of love and power at infinite
porpotions that our Father in Heaven as ever done. When we are in the
Celestial room, it is symbolic of being At-One WITH God. When we are in
the Sealing room with our spouse, it means we are At-One LIKE God, with
an eternal wife and children." He changed our perspectives completely. Oh how I wish you all could have been there.
Miracles
were in abundance this week in the Maximo. Our little group of sheep
are coming along. We've been working hard with the Young Men in our ward
to help them prepare for their missions! I love you boys from the 6th
ward all serving or preparing!
Take care family and friends. Until next week,
Elder Campbell
Quadruples with my boy, Memo!
