Hey everyone! I hope you all had an amazing week! We were able to do some good hard work out here in Georgia this week, and we have been seeing the miracles of this wonderful work.
As the title of this weekend's entry entails, we were hard in the "studio" (chapel's clerk office) making some videos. We've found that creating these small videos has been really effective in reaching out touching a large amount of people. We were able to make 3 different ones this week and we are beginning to see the fruits of these labors. I have found that the more you try to spread goodness, the more God will bless your efforts, and allow your light to shine bright.
We were able to do quite a bit of service and teach lots of lessons this week, which was super fun. That definitely helps us to feel productive and makes time out here pass very quickly. We had one miracle in the form of a new family we will start teaching! We have an investigator named Luciene who we hadn't talked to in a really long time, and she reached out to us on WhatsApp and invited us to a Brazilian BBQ at her house. We got to meet her family and a couple of her Brazilian friends. We left them with a Book of Mormon, and are hoping to return to teach them more sometime. The blessings are real!
We had several responses to our Facebook post advertising free service. We helped move some furniture for a nice Brazilian neighbor and we helped a member of the Paper Mill Ward move his greenhouse. We also had soccer night again at the park. A bunch of new people came this week but we were rained out at the end. We've had a lot of interest in the Facebook ad that we created and posted for our English classes. Those will begin again this week!
We also had stake conference this weekend! It was really cool to listen to everyone speak, and see how the stakes out here in Georgia work. My companion, Elder Galvão actually helped to translate the session on Saturday night. So that was a pretty fun event.
Other than that, we are just still grinding, and trying to have fun where we can. I have loved my time here in Georgia. Love you all!
