We were so thrilled when we picked Kelsey up from the airport in Sao Paulo the morning of December 21. That same day was our Mission Christmas Party in Sorocaba so we were so happy to introduce our daughter to Presidente and Sister Ribeiro and the wonderful Elders and Sisters. Elder Barrus and I are nestled between two of our favorite Elders, Elder Marinho and Elder James. They were the Elders who were here when we first came to Tatui. They took such great care of us, we would have been lost without them. After a great program and meal, we were each given a balloon and a church card to write a message on and attach to the balloon. Then we walked and walked and walked! to a shopping praca and released all the balloons at once. There was a stage set up and the Elders and Sisters from the Sao Paulo North Mission sang Christmas carols to the crowd for about 30 minutes. It was fun but Elder Barrus and I were tuckered out after the walk there, luckily we spotted a taxi on the way back and jumped in!
