Brazil's Independence Day and more!

September 7th is Brazil's Independence Day -- and so we all celebrated. We have a lot of Elders from Brazil (Portuguese is their native tongue!) This group was just preparing to sing Brazil's National Anthem!

















Here is three great Brazilians Elders Castro, Passos, and Fiallo.
















Now here is the More! Elders Abdala, Domingos, Manguituka, and Balanga they are returning home -- all but Elder Abdala are going home to Angola -- these young men are incredible and they will be greatly missed. (They take a big piece of my heart with them.)
















Here is the entire groups of departing Elders -- the two not shown above are Elders Horne and Hancock. All of these Elders have served our mission, the people of the Mozambique, and the Lord very well -- we all wish them a Christ centered life -- filled with joy and happiness.

















Enjoy and I send my love to all, Sister Wick (Pat)
