Welcome to Brazil

Our son Elder Reber

3 Reber Missionaries together - We welcomed our son to Brazil after he finished his mission in the Chile Santiago East Mission!  It was a joyful reunion.  It was quite a process getting him here too.  After going to the airport in Santiago, check his bags on and waiting at the gate he discovered that he did not have a Visa to enter Brazil.  Thus began the process of retreiving his bags and going back to the Mission Home.  He was told that it would be 2 weeks before he could get a Visa to enter Brazil.  They took him to the Embassy.  When they returned to the car the window was broken and his carry-on bag was stolen.  It was the bag that had his journals, Study journal, PMG and other items important to him but not to a thief!  We still find a silver-lining.  He has his camera, pictures, and spanish scriptures and most of all.  No one can rob his testimony!  right?  .  The other silver lining he was granted his Visa in 3 days.  That's another amazing tender mercy and really never happens in Visa's.  After these many obstacles we finally after 5 days got this boy to Brazil!  It was a joyful reunion!
