Another week passes by, and I'm still doing great. Time still is flying by as
well. Elder Wolfe and I are great friends and excited to work here in Jaguaré.
I got a package from the "fam" this week, yet again all re-wrapped. They like to
look at all the goodies I'm going to get. Ha. Oh, before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
LAINE! Craziness that he is already two. So many crazy things. This week, we
have been working with a family of three, Ivan, Renata, and Emily. They are
super cool, and really progressing in the Gospel. Ivan came to church on Sunday
which was great. We also are having lots of family nights, and trying to work a
lot with the members. Things are going great here, and I'm loving the mission.
One time, my companion sat down on a bench to rest for a little, and we heard a
weird noise. It sounded like a high pitched voice. We looked over, and a
papagaio ("parrot") was looking at us. It started talking to us,
and singing as well. Also, we had a funny experience at church. We went outside
between the classes to make a phone call, and we saw a pesquisadora passing in
front of the gate. She looked at us, and then she took off running. I went to
look from the gate, and she was still running a ways down the street. It was
about a 50 year old lady in a skirt. That was pretty funny. So, this week I
wanted to pass along Alma 23:7. We all need to put down our weapons of
rebeliion, what ever they are. I love you all, and have a great week.
Abraço,
Elder Tanner Ross Paxman
PS: As for advertising here, its pretty much
the same as the US, with billboards, TV ads, and lots and lots of little paper
pamphlets. There are lots of little self owned stores here
-- they don't have much advertising.
