Enjoy to the End

Happy Monday everyone!!

So, this week has been pretty normal- nothing too exciting to tell. We've been working like crazy trying to find new people to teach! Escada isn't the easiest area, but I am grateful for the challenge here! My goal now is to enjoy to the end (not just endure to the end), and really use all of my time these last few weeks!

I do have a pretty incredible story to tell!! On Tuesday Sister Oliveira and I were walking down the street, and out of nowhere, I tripped on a rock in the middle of the road as we were crossing, and it threw me forwards. I just saw the ground getting closer and closer to my face- with nothing I could do to stop. But then (inches from the ground) I stopped and rose back up. And as I stood up, my stomach where my bag was clipped was hurting a little bit. It was as if someone (there was no one behind me...) had grabbed my bag and pulled me up before I could hit the ground. Both my companion and I just looked at each other for a minute, and then she asked, "What just happened?!?" ... I know I am being protected by the angels of the Lord, and I am so grateful to be a servant of the Lord here in Brasil. 

I hope you all have a great week, and know how much the Lord wants to help you. Trust him!!

Love,

Sister Shelton
