Weekly Letter

Olá Família,

   This week was good. As a district we fasted to find the people that are ready for the gospel. The next day we found Flavia and her sons. They have been taught by the missionaries 10 months ago. Flavia wasn´t baptized then because she didn´t feel ready, but now she told us that she is needing a change. She wants to be baptized ASAP! So we are super excited to teach her a little more and get her baptized soon. She also has two sons with the age of baptism too, so we will try to baptize the three of them the same day. We also have been able to find some new people to teach. The biggest problem that the people have is depression. I don´t really know why, but every other person we talk to is depressed. So we are working to get the people off the medication and into the scriptures. We are able to testify of the power of scripture study, and the strength it gives us. We explain that life is made for ups and downs. We have the choice to go with the groove or fight and try to find happiness. One thing that I have learned is that happiness is a choice we make. It comes from the inside - out. Not from things that we buy or receive. It comes from righteous gospel living, and our attitudes! I´m glad everything is going well! Love you guys!
