Brazil!

Well, after a long and painful wait we FINALLY go out VISAS just two days before our flight! So it's official! Thursday we are headed to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!!! We are visiting Tyler's mission and other parts of Brazil. We will be visiting his old Mission President as well as one of his old companions and go to church where he had on his mission. We are hoping to find a couple of the people he taught and see how they are doing. It's hard to locate people in Brazil. Most don't have phones or internet.


A few places we are going:
Christ Statue in Rio


Iguacu Waterfalls

Ilha Grande (an island off the coast of Brazil that does not allow any vehicles) This is where we will spend Thanksgiving week at a little bed and breakfast ( about $30 a night!)

We can't wait!!! I'm so excited, yet kind of nervous too! Luckily my husband knows the area and the language. :)

Well, I better get packing! We'll have internet in a few spots so I'll try to add pictures here or on facebook if I can.
