 Merry Christmas to all !!!

We took fotos for Christmas - this is us walking back to the camera

I love you all.

So, this time it wasn't exactly a week, but it sure went fast. Ha. So, the other day, we were walking and we went to leave a pesquisadores house, and it started to rain, they invited us to wait out the rain, but we decided to risk it under the tiny umbrella that we had. We ran into another family that wasn't previously home, and we were able to mark with them, and I said, God sure works in mysterious ways. Then, the rain really started with thunder and lightning, and it got really close, it even hit a building right next to us. We decided to stop under an overhang of someones roof, and get a little bit out of the rain. A young man showed up trying to get into the house, and he stayed there a long time. I thought it was weird he doesn't just go home, but then a young women came out about 15 minutes later, and turns out he was trying to go home. Ha. They invited us in, and we ended up teaching them. It was great!  We are hoping that they can progress in the gospel.  My time is already short, but I wanted to pass along Alma 26:37. God is mindful of every person on this earth and knows us by name. He loves us and wants us to be happy. He will have mercy on us, according to our obedience and our diligence. I love you all and hope you have a great week.

Abraço,

Elder Tanner Ross Paxman
