As the uniquely qualified ones to preach the gospel on the campuses, the college students must realize their top responsibility: to announce the good news to the seeking ones and bring them to the Lord. During this past college training, the speaking brothers commissioned the young people to release the gospel as a wildfire on their campuses, and challenged them to bear at least one remaining fruit this coming year.

This past summer I got a great opportunity to go to Europe. Just me and another sister spent four weeks traveling around Europe taking in all the wonderful views, going to famous places, standing in long lines, eating lots of food, eating lots of chocolate, sitting on trains, running to catch trains, getting confused, WALKING, getting no sleep, and having the best, most precious time with the saints. To sum up this trip in a few words would be insane, perhaps even impossible. I don’t even know where to begin. It’s been two months since the trip and I think I’m still experiencing the affects it’s had on me. To be frank, when I initially started planning this trip I had no conscious decision or want to really see what was on the Lord’s heart concerning Europe.

I had the opportunity to go with my family to South Africa for two weeks in January 2009. The saints there do not get many visitors because it is not a place that you pass through, and it is expensive to get there. However, we decided it would be worth it to pay the price and go and be able to blend with the saints as well as see the beautiful country. We spent about six days in Pretoria. Our time there was so precious. Even though our trip was a family vacation, we split up and stayed with different saints.
