My Wonderful Parents

So I don't have beautiful children to show off but I have incredible parents. This is a picture of them by the Recife temple. We actually went to see them last Christmas and loved seeing what they are up to. They are the missionaries in charge of the
Perpetual Education Fund and Welfare in Northern Brazil.

They are stationed in Recife but constantly travel. They
have absolutely loved their mission. They are suppose to
come home in April but I think they will stay until May. Even though most of the work they have been asked to do is
mainly with PEF they have also had some wonderful experiences with non-members. My dad has baptized quite a few people and they were waiting to come home because of some new prospects. When we went to see them we saw their cute apartment and met some of their wonderful neighbors.

I think it will be hard for them to come home except maybe for the weather. When we were there it was about 95 degrees with 100% humidity almost all of the time. You constantly feel wet but because of that they have the most amazing fruit. My parents recently received an email from the director of PEF that told them that the last meeting President Hinkley attended was for the PEF that he started and was very proud of.

Blog Design Instructions:

Here is the secret to blog backgrounds, go to http://www.sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com and follow the step-by-step instructions to create your own blog look. I download paper from shabbyprincess.com, but I think on that blog there are a few other sites that have free downloads too. Once you get your code changed then it is really easy to switch your paper and change your look. I don't recommend trying to redesign your blog for the first time with kids climbing all over you. At least that made it a lot harder for me to do it. Thanks to Michal for sharing this great blog with me. Also, if you just want to copy and paste a new background, go to matiekay.blogspot.com. She has some cute ones already designed.
