And the Adventure Continues!


Happy Monday!!

Well, the adventure of working in a branch has continued!! The house has gotten a lot better, and we're living pretty normally now. We're going to try and get a bit more done in the bedroom today, so that we can actually use it, but other than that, it's going pretty well! The craziness however hasn't calmed down yet though. We're now teaching seminary to the youth, I gave a talk in church yesterday, Sister Oliveira will be speaking next week, we had a mission tour with Elder Pinto this last week, and had to travel to Recife, we're organizing family nights with the branch, and so on! But it's been really great, and I much prefer it like this than to not have anything to do. I'm learning and growing like never before, and it's been exactly what I need to stay focused and continue working.

And not to mention, the Lord has blessed us SO much!! We're finding so many people just waiting to hear about the gospel! This last week we were waiting to cross the street when an older woman and her husband called us over. They wanted to know what time our church started, because we had passed and seemed so friendly because we said hi that they wanted to know more!! It's incredible to see how the Lord has been preparing people to hear about the gospel, and I'm excited to keep working and see all of his miracles that are coming.

Have a great week everyone! 

Love,
Sister Shelton

A scripture that I read that helped me out a bunch this week was Ether 3:7 "...Rise up. Why have you fallen?" (or something like that- I'm translating it from Portuguese.) Every time we fall, the Lord will always invite us to rise up again.
