New Beginnings

So, for those of you that do not know, I have moved to Utah. I decided to go and let God be God. He is so huge and amazing and I know that with focus upon Him I can't go wrong. Utah is a new but awesome experience. I am currently seeking full time employment so that I can get my own place and live on my own. Right now I am staying with my friend Garrett who is gracious in letting me stay at his place for the time being. I had an interview today with Allied Barton which is a Security Agency. The interview went very well and I have another one tomorrow at 1:00 PM. Today was my first day ever in my life driving in blizzard like snow. I don't have any type of snow tire on my car so it was a terrifying but fantastical experience. I survived, but I only think it was because I was praying the whole time I was driving, and, yes, I was praying with my eyes open. I can use so much prayer that God would just continue to draw me to Himself in this time of trust and obedience to His Word. Also, that I would be on guard against doubt from the evil one and wholeheartedly focused on worshiping and delighting in the Lord. I took a video on my phone today of the snow like conditions in Salt Lake. Enjoy. Until next time, thanks for prayer and I love all of you guys.

Big Day @ BYU

Today I went to BYU with my friends Randy (Mormon Research Ministry) and Jim. We had an awesome day getting into conversations with members of the LDS Church. First off, I got into a conversation right away with a guy named Tyler for about an hour and a half or so and it was very fruitful. I won't go into all of the details, but you can ask me when you see me. Also, we talked to Greg, Sterling, Sam, and Adam. All of our conversations were free of any sort of contention. Both parties were open for discussion and it was a very fruitful time of evangelism. The Lord used us boldly today and my prayer would be that His words attach to their hearts and eat away at them until they can't take it any longer. We planted the seed in hopes that someone else would come along and water it so that the Lord can produce His fruit and make it grow. It was a great day and I'm looking forward to the next time I can go out. Thank you all for your prayers. Leave me any prayer requests you all may have as well and I would be blessed to pray for you in any way that I can. LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS:-)

Job Update

So, I'm sure that your saying, "it's about time Gianni updated his blog." This is a much needed update on my Utah job search and relocation efforts. I came to Utah on October 1st and planned on staying until the 7Th. Long story short, but plans changed and I'll be back in Fresno on Wednesday the 14Th. I originally came up for police officer testing with the Layton Police Department. I was tested on Physical Agility as well as a Written Examination. I passed both of the tests and had my Oral Board Examination on Monday the 5Th. Now I sit and wait hoping that I scored high enough for a possible job opportunity. Just pray that God would put me right where He wants me, and if that's not in Layton, that's fine by me. I have a couple more interviews on Monday the 12Th. One is with Whole Foods and one is with an Industrial Supply Company called Allred's. Also, I filled out an application for the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) to work at the Salt Lake Airport. My friend Randy Sweet (Mormonism Research Ministry) knows the head guy for TSA because he works at the airport, and he's going to give him my resume on Monday the 12Th. So, there are a number of possibilities in the air as to where I could possibly end up working. I know God has called me to Utah because I always feel such a heavy burden for the LDS people, whom are so sincere and so genuine, but just can't accept the Grace of God that is freely given apart from any works that we can do. All I want to do is proclaim the gospel for the rest of my days, not setting aside the Grace of God, because if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing. I just pray that, in God's timing, I would be in Utah permanently and on the mission field boldly and confidently flaunting the Love of Christ, that was shown when while we were yet sinners, He died for us. I get so excited about being in Utah and I never want to go back to Fresno when I'm here. Love all of you. Thanks for your love in return and your prayers to the Lord Most High that He would send workers out into His harvest field.
