"There is sunshine in my soul today!"

Resgate é importante!! 9/5/16

Right, so my time is nearly up, so I'll have to be quick today! For starters, we had an AMAZING Sunday! Lília, Gleyson, Ana, Esmeraldino, Jéssica, Vani, and Ricardo all were able to come! And they all liked it, I think. :D Sílvia got sick, unfortunately, but she came to a ward activity on Thursday and loooooved it. Also, Max, unfortunately, moved out of our area! But we passed his address on to our district leaders, who went there. He said that he moved because I wants to be baptized like we invited him, and knew that he couldn't live with his girlfriend until they get married. So that was pretty neat! He is really dedicated to overcoming his addictions so that he can receive all of the blessings of the restored gospel.
This week we have been doing lots more work with reativation. Our bishop challenged everyone to do a bit more to help our friends who have fallen away from the church come back, to go after the one sheep that fled. So we decided to take that challenge as well! And wow did I love it! Six people that we visited came on Sunday, which was a joy just as big as our investigators that came! It was a little funny on Friday when we were knocking doors and, by accident, found Natalice, a less-active member. She was so happy to see us! After church on Sunday we had a family home evening with her family, and tomorrow we are going to have lunch with them. They were just needing someone to show them that they weren't forgotten. So keep trying, wherever you are, to help those who have fallen away. They are all children of God, and He wants them to live in His presence as well! :)
Also, we found a super cool new investigator, Fagner, that is just golden! But I'll write more about him next week!
Also--went to Belém to renew some documents this week and saw Eddy (Elder R. Mercado), it's soooo nice to talk about Minnesota every once in a while.
Love you all so much!
