English School

 September 5, 2014

These kids are learning English.  Many have studied for 5-7 years.  They invited us to go to Lunch with them.  Their homework was that they could only speak English.  Was very impressed as many of them were speaking very good!  Great group of students.  We enjoyed our time with them.   

We wondered where we were going for lunch...not surprised, it was McDonald's! 
Big Mac's, fries and Mcflurry's are a favorite here

It was a wonderful time with our children.   They were able to see a lot of our Mission here plus some sights of beautiful Brazil!  We talked, laughed, cried, sang, ate, drove, hiked, and shared testimony together!  It was a great time with these 3

Welcome Senior Couples 

August 26, 2014  

After waiting nearly 12 months for their Visa's these two Senior Couples arrived in Cuiaba.  We have been anticipating their coming for the past year so it was a dream to see them finally walk off the plane here.  

Welcome Elder and Sister Romrell, and, Elder and Sister Harris !

Making them all Legal here, working out cell phones, cars and going thru an orientation has been a busy busy week here.  Nothing is easy or quick, just a process!  
It is all good - We have a wonderful office who helps get it all done!
