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!

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!
