We were able to take a trip to Brasil in November. It was the first time we had returned since we left there in 2002. It was fantastic. Since Aurora had no memories of our life there everything was new to her. She loved the different foods, sights, culture, weather and meeting new people. She often tired of hearing portuguese but was a great sport about it. We had a great time with Dan's sister, Dawn, and her family. Dan spoke to various groups 11 times in the short time we were there. It was emotional being back in the church his parents had started, and having the opportunity to see their old cottage on the lake. It brought back alot of memories and made us miss them so much more. But we're thankful we had the privilege to share those places with Aurora. We're thankful for those who contributed to our trip and for the many blessings we received by going and ministering and reconnecting with old friends, and even making some new ones!
