What a great day in Brazil, Lauren got to connect with her grandparents!! Thanks to Paulhino.
Dear Stephen and Christine,
Well, we saw your beautiful daughter. We believe you received the photos
from Paulinho, but just in case I resent them. She is happy and loving her mission,
and didn't want to talk about a release date, but when I pursued it a little further
she looked at her calendar and said probably May 31, 2015. Her Portuguese is
wonderful, and she looks really beautiful and happy. We went to Church and met
Edimilson (we think that is his name, he is the one that was baptized 2 months ago).
Guess that is about it, but we will tell you more about it later. The other two things we might tell you is that Lauren was so loving and nice to us, and yet, when it was time for us to go, it was like when we
saw you, Stephen, in Boston, and she was ready to get back to her world. She was on her way to have lunch at a members house and she didn't want to be late.
The other thing, Christine, she told me not to tell you is that her purse bag, the red one is really worn looking. I said, "I know what your Mom can send next" and she said, "No don't tell her, she will send me five!"
We also loved the fact that one of the three lady missionaries she lives with is from Porto Velho where we wrote our book about the old train. She was smart as a whip, and want to be an attorney.
We are going to take a nap.
Love you all,
Mom and Dad (Grandma and Granda)
