Another week in Recife

Hello!

How is everyone?! I hope you're doing well, and staying safe during this crazy time in the world.

This has been another crazy week here in Rio Doce! We're slowly but surely all recovering from our many sicknesses here. Our apartment looks a little bit like a pharmacy with all our many medicines. We spent some more time in the hospital to do a cleaning of my ear, and then again on an emergency trip for Sister Trinidade's tooth. I'm pretty sure we're about to baptize a future prophet, because the adversary sure is working hard on us, and trying to keep us from working in our area. But it's good, and we're working hard despite everything happening. And we're seeing a lot of success because of it! Truly, nothing can stop the work of the Lord.

This Sunday was truly a miracle. We had 6 investigators at church! It was so great to have all of them there. Especially because I gave my first full 10 minute talk in Portuguese in Sacrament meeting, and it was a real support to look out and see all of our investigators that I love so much!

We've had some adventures this week! a couple of our investigators seem determined to make this difficult for us. We're pretty sure one of our investigators is only investigating the church for the benefit of money, and she's starting to disuade her son, who really does have a desire to be baptized. And then another investigator has a new boyfriend... if you know what I mean. But, we keep going, every day, and as long as we do everything we possibly can, I know we're doing what the Lord wants.

I love you all, and I'm so extremely grateful for the love and support I feel from each of you! Have a great week, and please, stay safe!

Love, Sister Shelton

Scripture of the Week: 2 Nephi 33:10    "...hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words, believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good."

Remember to read the Book of Mormon every day, because they really are the words of Christ! 


Marks of a missionary! Watch and sandal tan. :)



At Alto de Se again! 


The picture with the three of us is Sister 
Karrington, Sister Trinidade, and I. Sister 
Karrington is my "grandma" because she 
trained Sister Trinidade, and now Sister Trinidade
is training me. So the picture is me-the baby, Sister
Trinidade- the mom, and Sister Karrington- the grandma!


The Temple!!!
