I met so many people who were members of the church, who had recently been baptized, some who were still investigating the church, and other who had heard about the church, but chose not to be baptized. One thing that all had in common, was that they were loving, generous and kind. they also LOVED my daughter soooo much! They cried when she said her last goodbye's and begged me to let her come back!
I didn't do any sight seeing, but it was the best trip of my life!
Here we are together with Bete, a girl who lives in Sao Paulo, who loves life, loves the gospel of Christ, loves going out with sister missionaries, and loves Jenelle! Jenelle and her go online and do the webcam all of the time and talk like crazy in Portugese.
Here is a group of people that love live! They are a lively bunch and love to laugh! This was after church one Sunday and we ate a huge, fantastic lunch and then some of them were playing a game similar to "Risk" and, let me tell YOU, they were competitive!
Here is a couple of ladies that we spent a lot of time with. The lady on the left is the Bishop's wife, and the lady on the far right, is his mother. They both have so much energy and fed me well, and when it came time to go home, they drove us to the airport and were the last Brazilian's I had contact with. What a sweet way to end my trip!
Here is Jenelle and I at a park. After walking miles and miles and only experiencing the vast depthness of the third most populated city in the world, with it's concrete buildings as far as the eye can see, it is hard to believe that there is this beautiful park with a lake in the middle of it!
I did not understand but a couple of the words in Portugese while I was there, but felt like I knew what was going on and of course, felt the love and testimonies of the people we visited.
