Happy Monday!!!
Well, this week was
pretty incredible!! We're just seeing so many miracles here in Escada, and I'm
so grateful for the hand of the Lord in our lives here! We're finding so many
new people to teach, and several that have so much potential!! We marked Alan and
his family for baptism this week, and are going to work harder than ever to
help prepare them for this special covenant that they'll do with Heavenly
Father. Please keep them in your prayers!
So, I have to share a
super incredible miracle we saw this week. As sister Oliveira and I were
walking to pick up our investigators for church, it started to rain super hard.
Sister Oliveira had lost her umbrella, so we only had my little umbrella to
cover us both, and we still had a ways to go to get to our investigator's
house. Plus, we knew that if it was raining, these investigators wouldn't go to
church. So, we stopped on the side of the road, and underneath my little
umbrella we said a prayer pleading for the Lord to stop the rain for enough
time to us to get to our investigator's house, and then to get to the church.
As Sister Oliveira said "in the name of Jesus Christ" we started to
feel a heat come up from the ground, and as she said "amen" we opened
our eyes, and the rain was gone. And it didn't start again until we got inside
the church. The Lord is so very good to us, and he is listening to our every
prayer. I am so grateful to be his representative here in Pernambuco.
Our other fun adventure
from the week happened at about 2:30 in the morning. As Sister Oliveira and I
were sleeping peacefully, we were awakened by a sound in the kitchen. As we
went to investigate, we found a mouse in the garbage!! But he escaped, and we
didn't see any more of him... until 3:30, when he appeared again. And then
again at 4:40! It was pretty awful and we didn't know what to do. But ever
since the 3rd time he appeared that night he hasn't appeared again, and so
we're praying he's left for good. hahaha
But all is good here in
Brasil, and I'm happy, healthy, and safe. Have a great week everyone, and don't
forget to give my Mom a big hug and wish her a happy birthday on the 26th!!!
Love,
Sister Shelton
Alma 7:14- this chapter
is pretty incredible, and I invite you all to read it. Pay special attention to
verse 14.
