This week has been a busy schedule!!! To give you a perspective on
how busy it was, we taught three lessons... HAHA We had Zone training,
District meeting Training, Interviews with President, Weekly planning,
joyous service projects, and the weekly stuff :) Then the rest of the
time we spent going out finding people to teach. Cairo seems to be
getting smaller and smaller as we go about getting to know all the
areas. The Hispanic community is one of the nicest here too so I am yet
again, truly grateful to be part of that one!
This week we have been blessed to receive a lot of council from our
leaders and from those who taught us during the training. One main
focus was inviting others to be baptized, so this week and throughout
the next couple weeks, the zone will be focusing on inviting all to be
baptized. I'm excited to see what it brings, because Cairo hasn't had a
baptism in about two years! Its a long time, and we have a couple people
who we really feel could join the lords fold!
Someone shared a quote with us this week that I have been putting
into application throughout the week. Its simple, yet its taken for
granted a lot of the time:
"He is reachable at any time and in any place." -unknown
We have the listening ears of our father in heaven truly at any
time and in any place, whether we need him or not. I have been trying
hard this week to keep a prayer of thanksgiving as well as asking for
help and strength throughout every day. And I know that I have received
help beyond my own ability because of that simple act. If you're not
already trying it, JUST DO IT!
I love you all so much :) Cant wait to hear from you next week :)
Much love and care,
