Picking Up

Oi tudos!
 
Things are picking up again! We have met new people and are teaching some great families. This weekend was the Greeley Stake Conference. Elder Rhodes (area 70) presided and spoke, and he was great. President and Sister Brown also spoke and impressed the members of the stake with their vision for the Fort Collins mission. There were so many great talks; it will be a conference to remember. We started teaching Audrey this week. We have taught her the first two lessons, and she attended two sessions of stake conference. Yesterday, we invited here to be baptized. SHE SAID YES!! We are so excited and look forward to helping her be ready by the 24th.
 
The signs for our adopted streets are now up and all around Greeley!! It's great publicity and exciting for the members to see our signs. Here in the Fort Collins and Denver North mission, the missionaries participate in program called JustServe. He have the opportunity to do ten hours of community service a week participating in a variety of projects such as cleaning our adopted streets, building homes with Habitat for Humanity, volunteering at Weld's Food Bank, helping out at the Humane Society Animal Shelter, etc.  I have learned so much through this program.  I gained a better understanding of how important it is to serve and provide charity in the community. Through charity, we are able to help those who need help feel loved and important. As I serve, I have not only been able to help others but have benefited personally as I develop more Christ like love for God's children. I have found so much joy and fun through serving.   
 
That is all. Amo vocês!
 
Elder Hamilton
