Happy Monday!!!
This week went pretty
great here in Escada!! We're working with our investigator Tiago like crazy,
and trying to help him use the full power of the Atonement in his life! It's
such a great feeling to see how someone can start to move their life for the better.
Keep him in your prayers!
So, there's definitely a
signs of the last days happening here in Escada right now. At the last General
Conference, President Nelson said that difficult times were coming. He also
told us to not use the nickname Mormon. Well, we saw a little part of why he
said that this week. A group of missionaries showed up in our area, using white
shirts, black pants, ties, and black bags like ours. Their name is very similar
to "Mormon" and everyone is confusing them with the church of Jesus
Christ. But here's the real problem- they show up at people's houses yelling at
them to repent and to organize their lives, and preaching all sorts of
apostasy. (multiple Gods, etc.) We already don't have a lot of support here in
the city, and now with these missionaries, people are starting to hate us. But,
it's just one more testimony that the church is true, because if it weren't,
Satan wouldn't be working so hard against us. So, we're just going to have to
work even harder to help people get to know the truth!
But other than that,
things are going well here!
I hope you all have a
great week, and always strive to strengthen your testimony, because difficult
times are coming, and we'll have to be prepared.
Love,
Sister Shelton
Alma 5:27 "Have ye
walked keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called
to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble?
That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of
Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins?"
