His Individualized Plan

So many things I could write about.

At the time of my writing of this, It's been 4 weeks since I entered into Wyoming.
I am consistently amazed at how personal and wonderful God's tender mercies are. And at how grand his plan for us is.

Heavenly Father truely does have an individual plan for each and every single one of us.
At the very least, I can bear testimony that he has a plan for me as an individual. But I can also testify that that doesn't just apply to me. That wouldn't make any sense if it just applied to me. It applies to you too. 

This truth, that God knows me as an individual and has a plan for me (and also knows you as an individual and has a plan for you), is something I have grown a firm testimony of in the past 11 months.

This was something that I struggled to grasp before my mission. It was hard to imagine, and often even harder to feel, that God knew me as an individual and truely cared and loved for me as an individual.
I mean, I knew it on paper. Because I had faith in Jesus Christ and his Restored Church and that is one of the things his church teaches. But it was difficult for me to feel that truth for myself. ('Tis an interesting topic that I'm sure I could write much more about. The idea of knowing something in theory but not necessarily knowing it for yourself. It's hard to find the right words to describe it.)

So how do I know this to be true?
Simply put, I have seen Heavenly Father put specific people in my life when are where I need them. I did not meet these people by mistake or coincidance. I met these people because Heavenly Father has a plan.

Tchau tchau!!

An Information Expo about Me (Elder Perazzo) on a Mission with Blogger as an Approved App

Written 9/12/2020 (that date is indeed accurate. It's not off by a year. It's Saturday, September 12th, 2020 as I type this)

So, fun fact of the day:
          Blogger is an approved app on our phones. And I just got a keyboard that I can hook up to my phone.

         So that means blog posts from me, Elder Perazzo :)


          I like indents in my writing, but the app doesn't allow me to do them, so I'm copying and pasting 10 spaces for each one.
          My Brother just posted on my blog not too long ago, which I think is awesome. In it he references how I would see it when I came home. Lo siento, brother; I saw it a bit earlier :)


          So. I'm on a mission while I'm making blog posts. What does this mean for the content of the blog posts?
          Good question. A few notes on what things will look like/be like for my blog posts while I'm on a mission:

          Regardless of when I actually type up the posts (for example, in this case I'm typing this on a Saturday), I'll be posting them up on Mondays (aka Preperation Day) for a couple reasons. 1. It allows me to feel okay with being a bit more casual with my posts. 2. It doesn't make me feel like I'm attempting to communicate with family/friends on days besides P. Day.

          The posts will be revolved around Jesus Christ/The Church/The Scriptures/something I've learned on my mission etc. aka I won't be posting about which books I'll be reading first when I come home or what video games I'm excited to play etc. (Although if you email me about any of that, I'm totally down to talk about it, haha.)
          This post will hopefully be the most extreme of talking about non-gospel related things because I had to explain various things and such.


          I suppose I should close with something a bit more spiritual, though.

          It always feels weird to me to have my testimony out it writing. But here are a few things I know to be true for myself.
          Jesus Christ lives. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. Heavenly Father has a plan for me individually and knows me individually.

Wassup it iz I posting on my brother's blog! There hasn't been a post here in like half a year, and I'm here to fix that.

Hey so this is something he would appreciate but which I'm waiting till he gets home from his mission to share with him! Guess now I don't have to; he's gonna see this when he gets back. It was his 6/16ths mark (wait that rounds down further hold on) 3/8ths mark just last week. (That's nine months.)

But anyway it's a special canonical one-shot sequel to Death Note, for free?! and it's so good, and maybe probably intelligible if you've never read the original manga or seen any of its adaptations? possibly spoilers tho, idk

Meanwhile though super hyped for Rhythm of War coming out Nov 17th; maybe I'll post something special here at that.

Welp

Written 11/2
Welp, I didn't have as much time for writing as I wanted, so I guess this'll have to be my last post. I wish I could have had more posts to fill this two year gap, but I guess this is alright.
I didn't even get through the rest of my drafts.

I'm excited to post again when I come off my mission!

I think minigolf is freaking awesome.

That sentence was written sometime ago (I forgot to check when). This was written on 11/2. I think it should count as its own post.

It's almost Valentine's Day *party popper emoji* *party popper emoji*
