Our hotel this trip was a lot nicer than our last one! It just happened to be next to the shopping mall! When Papa was out visiting families,I enjoyed some shopping time. It was way too hot for me there!
Sunday, the Stake President invited us to his humble home for dinner. We had a great visit and enjoyed being in their home with their 3 young kids. We miss our grandkids!
We returned to São Paulo Monday... 6 am flight, so we were
exhausted when we got home. We did make it in, in time for FHE. I had to help with the dinner so I went and bought a lot of fruit and made a fruit salad. It was funny--everyone was thinking like me and we mostly had fruit for dinner!
The rest of the week was a blur of meetings, trip reports and saying goodbye to senior friends heading home. Two couples went home this past week, but 5 new couples are coming in the next few weeks, and we are excited for them to get here.
Big hugs to all!
Papa and Gma

Glad to hear the codorna project is doing well. You are correct it will be interesting to see what happens when they no longer can depend on feed from the outside. "They don’t have much, but they have tv." I had to smile when I read this. We were in the back country of Indonesia where there were only very humble huts with dirt floors and no bathrooms. But every home had a TV and it was on! Thanks for sharing.
