This week was a good one but hard one!
Here is what happened:
-We went to the beach pday! Always a blast and way refreshing to the soul. We went to Praia do Porto, this beautiful beach close to the port, we did a hike to this was cool rocky area that had a bunch of shells and cool things.
-This week we knocked doors ate o po (until dusk) we cut a lot of people (always a process) and so we had to knock a lot more doors! We met a lot of way cool people this week which is always motivating!
-This week sister Aguiar lost our phone about 5 million times, some of the times just on a couch or in her bag, and two times in the tall grass! We did see the hand of God all of the times as we said prayers and followed the promptings of the spirit to find the phone. Really in the dark it was a miracle from God! Gosh I miss I-phone tracker, but I am sure learning a lot from all of this haha!
- We had Mission tour! We woke up at 2 in the morning to get ready, and the bus picked us up at 4! We got to Floripa and the conference was so good! It really renewed my soul, and made me more motivated to be a better missionary! Also it is the best to be around other missionaries!
-This week we met this awesome lady named Melani, and she had already heard about the church through a book she read that was written by a member. She loves the restoration, and is so prepared. I am way excited to teach her about the gospel, and help bring more joy into her life!
-We had cake night in the branch and it was fun, I just love the members here, they have become my family over the months! We are trying to help them be more unified and get involved in the work!
-Had a cold week (the beginning) which was a nice change.
Spiritual thought:
In Moses he talks about the visions that God showed him, of the worlds, and all of the people in them, the creations, everything. And after that he said, something along the lines of "Now I have realized that man is nothing. Something I have never supposed." and a little bit later in chapter one, God says, "But this is my work and my glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." I love this contrast, that Moses, humbled himself enough to realize that really, with so many people, so many things, man should be nothing. BUT we are as God says, his work and glory. Every one of you, YOU are his work and glory. His glory is to bring to pass your eternal life. How special is that? We need to see this great potential in ALL others, and in ourselves. I love you all! I know that Christ lives, and this is his church!
Love,
Sister Crofts
