NATAL EM NATAL

Christmas in the city of Christmas

Dec. 10, 2023 - We took a car tour this evening (Sunday) to see the Christmas lights. A big theme in Natal is the Three Wise Men or Reis Magos. They have many different representations of them around the state.

They also have many lighted Christmas trees made with strings of lights. One is about 15 stories high and the lights are always changing patterns and colors. We can see it from our apartment window, about 5 miles away. Below is a number of photos at night and during the day.

Elder Arnulfo and Sister Pilar Valenzuela are on the right with Allen and Cathy. They came for a mission tour in Natal. They were delightful and kind people. Cathy's sister Debbie and Greg Stapley are the Mission Leaders in the Valenzuela's hometown in Mexico. Cathy sent them some Maracujá toffee with the Valenzuelas, as they will be home for Christmas with their family. A fun surprise.
