News From Brazil!!!










I am so excited to share a video and some pix that we received from a wonderful man named Andres Alberto Soto Tello and his family in Brazil, that takes great care of Kyler. They go to his home to eat quite often and he was kind enough to take video and pictures of Kyler and his companion. I'm not sure he realizes how wonderful it is for a family to be able to actually see their missionary so happy. It has been so much fun to share this video with Miette!!! She just watched it over and over!!! She was only 5 months olds when Kyler left but they had a special bond. This is a great opportunity for her to see him and maybe it will help with their reunion. She loves to say "Ciao" and twist her little fingers around to try to make the "hang ten" sign. There really isn't alot of verbal content because those who know Kyler realize that he is a man of few words. Andres said in his email that they were talking alot before they started the video then everyone got quiet. Kyler will probably be transferred this week and I know he will miss this area. He has made many friends and I'm sure has touched many hearts there.

I am very disappointed in myself!!! We have a video camara that sits by the computer and scares me to death! I think I am going to get out the intimidating manuel that came with it and try my hand at this video thing. It could be a lot of fun!!! Enjoy!!!
