JEN'S VISIT

The guest room has been ready for months and finally we have a visitor!

My sister came for almost two weeks.

She served a mission for our church here in Brazil 20 years ago, so she knew a little of what to expect. She also knows the language and was very helpful to me because I was much braver about venturing out of my comfort zone while she was here.

We went to the Feira and bought all our fruits and veggies. This is an outdoor market I go to each Saturday.

Jen keep Lindssei (my maid) busy with daily cooking lessons.

Coxinahs are a favorite in our house!

All our friends loved Jen. This is Jen, Andrea, and I at a Churrascaria in Tatui.

One afternoon we fed the missionaries an American lunch. We have been able to have the missionaries over many times. I even spent an afternoon going door to door with them. They love taking me with them because everyone wants to listen when they have a crazy American who speaks very little Portuguese.

Pamela, Alison, and Jen at our weekly pizza night with friends.

The entire gang!

We ate hot dogs from a weenie cart on the side of the road. This is very common here and I was just hoping no one would get sick!

We spent an entire day visiting friends in Sao Paulo, but it really is not conducive to tourism. Very difficult to get around and we got lost several times!

We did find our way to the temple in Sao Paulo. Amazingly beautiful!!!

As always her stay went way too fast and good byes are so sad, but we hope she will be able to come back real soon!!!
