Miracles are possible… even in two days!


Happy Monday!!

Wow! This week has been super craaazzy! Due to my companion getting sick, divisions with the LTS, and Conferencia de Zona, I had a total of two full days to work in my area. But! Even with only two days to work, we were still able to see a lot of miracles! We met a really great family, with lots of teenage boys. Seriously. There were so many teenage boys in this house. The mom warned us before we entered, but I wasn't prepared. The moment we walked in, one guy after the other entered the living room. It was actually kind of funny. But they were all super great, and were super interested in our message!

I want to tell one more miracle from the week! Yesterday, after we left our meeting with our LMA (ward mission leader?) we had about 15 minutes left before we had to go home to study. We weren't really sure what we should do. I thought we should start to head home to be able to do all of our studies, but my companion, Sister Cordoba felt like there was one more person we had to visit. We thought that maybe she was feeling like we needed to visit an investigator that lives close to the church, but we knew she wasn't at home. So, we said a prayer, and asked for help to know what to do. After saying the prayer, the name of my recent convert, Vitoria, came to mind. So, there we went. When we got to her house, Fernanda (Vitoria's less-active mom) get emotional, and said that just a few minutes before we got there, she had expressed to Vitoria that she needed help from God and didn't know what to do. She had had a really rough day, and was super discouraged. She told us that the moment we got to her house, she knew it was an answer to her prayers. I'm just super grateful and super humbled to see how the Lord answered both ours and Fernanda's prayers yesterday, and to have been an instrument in the hands of the Lord.

I love you all, and I hope you have a fantastic week!!! 

Love,
Sister Shelton

Enos 1:12 "And it came to pass that after I had prayed and labored with all diligence, the Lord said unto me: I will grant unto thee according to thy desires, because of thy faith."

(p.s. I tried to send pictures last week, and lost all of my photos again... I'm honestly not sure what to do. Sorry for not sending pictures in so long. I'll try to get some pictures from my companions.)
