TWO YEAR MARK!!

So, when I first got here, the member help was kind of low, but we have been working hard and this last week was really good! We had a member with us every day this week! Also, we had 8 people at church! Sandra and her daughter were there, and they are making great progress for their baptisms this next week! We also had Irena and Edmilson come! This was the first time we have had them both there! They have been going through a really tough time lately. First his cousin drowned at sea, and then when he was going to work he gwas robbed and they took his house key, so they were really worried. The last few lessons have been great with them! They seem to be the type of people who the spirit keeps touching and they are just kind of fighting it :)

We also had Zezino and Monica come to church. We have really been working with them, but they were not progressing at all. So we sat down with them one day and left it really clear. And then they showed up. I know they want the blessings that are waiting for them-- they just need to step up and follow through!

I had a good moment this week. I got super frustrated at one point with some of the people we are teaching, but I took a minute to relax and really look for what the Lord wanted from me. I am pleased to report that after that, everything went well! Sometimes I think the Lord really tries us to see if we will turn to Him. Even when we are trying to do a good thing, or even His own work. But if we keep our sights on Him, it will come out alright. I have had points when I try to figure it out for myself and I fail every time. Trust in the Lord! I feel like that is the "phrase" of my mission! 

Wishing you all a great week! :)

I was going to send some pictures, but my camera is not letting me today! Sorry.
