Pasco North Stake Podcast

President Larson continues by sharing his vision for the Hispanic Outreach going forward in the Pasco North Stake and what his hope is regarding the sharing of this Podcast, and how to receive your own revelation regarding this work. “This whole outreach was a plan to develop His children” "It has never been about language. It's about opening our hearts and building Zion." "God loves ALL of His children... regardless of what language you speak." We hear on this vision from guests- Heather Bybee, Stake Relief Society President Shane Ririe, Stake Clerk Nathan Henry, 2nd Counselor Stake Presidency Thane Davidson, 1st Counselor Stake Presidency John Wallwark, Former 2nd Counselor Stake Presidency Brian Howard, Stake Executive Secretary Kevin Jones, Former Executive Secretary

The Stake leaders receive the revelation and make the decision to "graft in" the Spanish Branches into the English Wards. Their promptings, concerns, and revelations received. "We need to be more united." Proposal is sent into the First Presidency to become one. First Presidency approves the grafting in of the branches. The Spirit confirms that this is the right direction. Members of the Stake are invited to receive their own witness. Beautiful experiences of membership integrating.

Weekly fasts begin by the Stake Presidency, seeking further direction on how to progress with the hispanic outreach. "I have tried everything, I don't know what else to do." Initial fasts yield small impressions. Other leaders outside of the Presidency are invited to fast for direction regarding the Hispanic Outreach. March of 2022 inspiration comes that the wrong question is being asked. "What does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints look like 10 years from now, 20 years from now, 30 years from now here in this area?" After that, revelation began to come that the Stake needed to look like our community... meeting and living together. Meetings with Area Authorities.

President Jeff Larson continues to share the great efforts that were made to push the work forward - Language classes, Spanish Speaking Stake Leaders, Hispanic Branch Presidents, Spanish Combined Conferences... with little to no avail. "The revelation was good. Our getting it out to the people wasn't as good." The Area Presidency begins to push on Hispanic Outreach... indicating the our Stake was on the right track. COVID and its impact on the Hispanic Outreach efforts.

In this episode, President Jeff Larson talks about the early days of their presidency. It was no coincidence that all members of the presidency spoke Spanish. Initial revelations received and how it was received. The three directions of the Stake - 1. Being Youth Led 2. Ministering to the One 3. Hispanic Outreach "It doesn't matter what our calling is, the Holy Ghost talks to all of us." The inspiration to align our membership demographics with area demographics. Revelation is received to Dedicate the Pasco North Stake through a Dedicatory Prayer to the gathering of the Hispanic brothers and sisters.
