"Happiness Moments"
-Ana Julia got baptized!!!! (Cool little side story with her: all of her kids are members, and she has been meeting with missionaries for 8 months but has never felt the desire to make the necessary changes needed to be baptized. She said that what made her realize the truth and what gave her the desire to change was because she started reading the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon has SO much power.)
-One of the missionary couples invited us over for dinner and then took us to the roof of the office building to see the AMAZING view!!
-We had a super fun family night at the Bishop's house with a recent convert!! (Spiritual message, charades, and bagels are the perfect family home evening combination;) )
-Hermana Vieira's birthday was a MAJOR success. (We ate enough food to last a lifetime)
-We decided to make pancakes and show up at the house of four of the hermanas in our zone to surprise them with breakfast!
D&C 6:
As the brand Nike says, "Just do it." I think
sometimes we second guess ourselves when we really shouldn't. "Never
suppress a generous thought." -Camilla Kimball
-The rainy season is starting!!!! :)
-Hermana Vieira and I had a spontaneous pillow fight.
Today I want to let a couple of quotes and scriptures do the
talking for me.
President Hinckley helps us know what to do when we have
worries, feel despair, or feel weak --
"The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best
medicine for despair is service. The best cure for weariness is the challenge
of helping someone who is even more tired."
32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, as I said unto
my disciples, where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching
bone thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them—even so am I in the midst of you.
33 Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow,
that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for
your reward.
37 Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the
prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments,
and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
33 Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow,
that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for
your reward.
34 Therefore, fear not, little flock; do good; let earth
and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot
prevail.
35 Behold, I do not condemn you; go your ways and sin no more;
perform with soberness the work which I have commanded you.
36 Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.

D&C 108:
7 Therefore, strengthen your brethren in all
your conversation, in all your prayers, in all your exhortations, and in all
your doings.
8 And behold, and lo, I am with you to bless you and deliver you forever. Amen.
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a
drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing
drop."
-Mother Teresa
I feel so incredibly blessed and grateful to be a missionary
and to be able to be a drop in the ocean!
I encourage you all to go out and be that drop in the ocean
for somebody else. I know that your influence is great!!
Love, Hermana Greenwood
