I am glad to hear that Canada is the same usual craziness, Ha. Ótimo visitas no Canadá. I love all our family. Thats way awesome everyone could go together. Im glad your enjoying the pictures, Ha. Im working hard to take some good pictures for you all. So this week was another super fast week. But before I go into describing it, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I love you Dad, you are the best, and I hope your birthday is great. So this week we has been a pretty much normal week. We have been working with some investigators, and Roberta is hopefully going to be baptised this Saturday! Yay! We went over there after not seeing her for a while because she was traveling and such, and she had a whole new desire. We could just tell by being there and talking to her. She really is ready to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is a certain power that comes when you truly try to do the right things. The Lord wants to help us with our problems, we just have to ask for His help. So this past week, our new mission president liberated soccer, so we can play now. So, our zone got together and we played soccer today. Im definitely not a soccer player, but it was a blast. We played chair soccer too, and then played real soccer, and I played mostly goalie. It was a good time. I have an awesome zone. So this week, we have had an emphasise (Sp?) on working with members, and members doing missionary work too. My scripture of the week is Doctrine and Covenants 18:10, 15-16. For those of you that know seminary know that this is a scripture mastery. Every member should be a missionary. We all need to be a missionary to bring the joy that we feel to those that are around us. Everyone on this earth are our brothers and sisters, and sharing the gospel with them is just helping spread the love in our family. Truly, if we are converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have a desire for others to come to a knowledge of the truth too. And for those of you that don't have a testimony, or who haven't yet had a assurance of the gospel, I exhort you to pray and ask our Heavenly Father to help you to know, and He will answer. We all need to follow the example of Christ, and share the love and knowledge that we have. I love you all.
Abraço,
Elder Tanner Ross Paxman
