Trip to Brazil


What an amazing trip we had!! We went to Brazil to pick Jonny up and had an awesome time. It was a long flight (about 30 hours one way with lay-overs!!) but well worth the trip. Before we picked up Jonny we went to Rio and Iguazu Falls. They were unbelievable and we had a great time. Then we picked Jonny up. I can't begin to explain how good it was to finally see him. Then we spent the next five days going to meet some of the people that he had met over the past two years. It was so great to see how much he loved the people and how much they loved him. When he started testifying of the gospel, we didn't need to know what he was saying because we could feel the spirit so strong we didn't need to know what the words were. Then the last day we spent with his mission President and his wife in the Porto Alegre Temple and at their home for dinner and a testimony meeting. We loved seeing the sites in Brazil but the best part of the trip was definitely meeting the people there and feeling of their love for Jonny and for the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are so strong and were such an example to me. It made me want to be better. It was a trip that we will never forget!
