This Is For My People

Sarah's father baptized Pedro's mother on his mission in Recife, Brazil, years ago.
Pedro was my Sunday School student in Brazil when he was about 14, before my mission and before I moved to the US.
His father was our stake president and was the one who was there to send me on a mission and to pick me up at the airport along with my ward. Awesome and caring family.
Tomorrow Pedrinho and Sarah are getting married!! Yes, he'll marry the daughter of the man who baptized his mother years and years ago. How cool is that?!

Trevor and I went over to Sarah's parents' house today to say hi and chat a little, since tomorrow will be such a busy day for everybody. It was so much fun! Last time I saw Pedro's parents was in 2003, my last visit to Brazil.

Here we are after a lot of updating, laughs, good memories and strengthened friendships:
Bride and groom will be married for time and eternity tomorrow in the Bountiful Temple, we wouldn't miss it for the world :)

ps1 -- Doesn't the wall decor look like it's part of my hairdo???
ps2-- I feel awful about being such a bad blog visitor! It's been busy couple of weeks but I will catch up on visiting you girlies on Sunday, promise! ;)

I was going to comment on your 'fro.
That's a really neat story. So when you all hang out falando, does Trevor understand anything? I suppose he's picked up at least a few words, being married to you and traveling to Portugal, etc.
Ryan knows about 5 words and phrases, his favorite being, "me beija."

Nice new do! As for the post of food, I think a more healthy store than walmart would definitely have better organic food. Check out www.ultrawellness.com they may say something about it. That was one of the sites she recommended for reading. How's the bump?
