Paulo, Glaucia and Me
Elder Wolfe and I
Elder H. Santos and I
So, here comes the big news. I was transferred to the zone of Osasco, and the
area of Jaguaré. I am now with Elder Wolfe, who has a little more than six
months in the mission. He is super awesome, and things have been going great. He
is from Tennessee, and I'm his second companion in the field. I'm getting to know
the area, and we are working hard trying to help several families progress
towards baptism. And my second day here, I already went to do a baptismal
interview in another area, called Jardim Veloso, and stayed there with Elder H
Santos. That was crazy being so soon after the transfer, but it went well. In my
new area, we live with another companionship of Elders. The other Elders are
Elder Nóbrega, and Elder Vazquez. A Brazillian and a Paraguyian (please spell
that right for me). This area, is pretty small, and was created into a Branch
about two months ago. It'll be super great to work here. There are about 35
active members that go each week for now. There are some really cool members and
recent converts here as well. I am really excited to be here, and Elder Wolfe
and I are ready to work. The area is pretty normal for Brasil, and has nothing
too dangerous, and is a great place to work. We have some elect families like
the family of Ivan, Renata, and their daughter Emily. There are several people
that are super close to baptism, but havent decided to enter the water yet, and
we are working and praying for them. I also heard that I have a package from my
family waiting for me tomorrow. I wanted to send home a scripture that is found
in Alma 30:44. Its when there is a man that wants to deny God, but we already
have had so many witnesses that God really exists. Not only people that believe
that he does, and not only the Prophets, but also the World in and of itself
testifies that God exists. I also want to bear my testimony that God lives, and
that he loves us all, and wants us to return and live with Him. I love you all,
and hope you all have a great week.
Abraço,
Elder Tanner Ross Paxman
