November 2, 2014-Gary and Rose went to Lauren's ward today!

Dearest Lauren,
      We so enjoyed seeing you yesterday at Church.  A wonderful part was seeing you hearing
you play the piano.  For years we have  sometimes been to church in Brazil where there was no
one who could play piano and they used recorded music, sometimes with a piano and organ 
sitting there. I have felt guilty that I couldn't help by playing the piano with all of the piano lessons 
have had in my life.  Like I said earlier, when you were younger, the Church music is the most 
important music to learn when you take piano lessons.  You were wonderful and it was special 
to hear you play.  It is too bad they didn't have a beautiful piano like you had at home.
      We are looking forward to receiving your Monday letter as we do each week.  You are so
beautiful.  When you were playing the piano grandpa was crying.  We also loved hearing you 
bear your testimony in perfect Portuguese.  We are so proud of you.  Isn't Portuguese an incredible
language with its ways and means to express yourself?
       We love you very much.

Dear Christine and Stephen,
       I assume you already received the photo from Paulinho, but, we did go to 
Church in Lauren's ward where she played the piano for the singing and bore 
a very sweet testimony.  She had investigators there and introduced us to them.
We spent almost an hour visiting with her and her companion and she looks like
a million dollars.  We also met her bishop and several others.
Love you,
Gary and Rose
