Hey all!
First, to my family (immediate and extended): I love you all so so much. More than you all know. You're a big part of why I'm here and your testimonies strengthen me so much. I'm so excited to see you all again soon!
This week we did a lot of service. On Tuesday and Wednesday we helped at Granite Education Foundation which gives out school kits to families who may need it. I really liked it because it was a lot of inventory/organizational work which always is fun for me. On Friday, us and the elders helped a sweet irmã clear her backyard. They had chopped down a tree and wanted us to move all the branches. I wish we had before and after branches because the pile we moved was like HUGE! It was ridiculously hot but I had a lot of fun.
Yesterday we started EnglishConnect via Zoom! I posted it in a Facebook group called Brasileiros in SLC so I figured it would reach mostly local people. We had like 40 people respond and many were in Brasil lol!! Not what we intended, but all were welcome. It was fun! We had about 10 people and they liked it!
Sometimes it's kind of hard here because it's just so different that the missionary work I'm used to. And sometimes with all the changes in the world and my world specifically, it can be hard. But I have felt my Savior with me and have had special experiences with prayers and answers to prayers. I know that as we pour out our heart to Him in prayer, we can feel Him lift our burden. With prayer, I believe we get out what we put in; more earnest prayers are more likely to receive more tangible responses. Also, I love priesthood blessings.
Jesus Christ is our Savior and He walks with us. We are blessed to live in these times as we await the day He returns. They may be scary, but "the future is as bright as our faith."
Love,
Sister Dobbs
