Mom:  Well, we have Neves a plane ticket. He flies to Rio and will spend the night there with a friend  (his father from the mission) and then fly on to Vegas. He is staying with a friend from the mission there over night and the next day until he gets on the plane to come to SLC.  He is excited about seeing his friend and seeing a little of Vegas.  We will get him at 9:30 on Wednesday night.

Cam: I am so happy mom, thank you so much.

Mom: I would do anything for you Bubba.  I think you are changing some body's life.  He is very humble and appreciative.  So where did you watch conference?

Cam:  Did you buy all of his pass?

Mom:  Some of my very kind friends gave us money to help.  I think we will use that to start him off with some money and a few things though.  Dad just told me to buy his ticket.  We are his family now and we will need to step up and help him but teach him how to help himself also.  I hope this works out!

Cameron: We watched conference at the church.  My baptism last week watched every session but Sacerdcia cause Socerdoocia ends at 11:00 at night and he lives far and had to go home alone.  So, I told him to go home so he would be safe. So, are you excited, nervous, or what for Neves?

Mom:  Did you enjoy it?  I sure did.  It was one of my favorite conferences.  I told Neves there was a singles ward and he laughed because he thought that was only a movie!  I told him not in Utah!!!  ha!

Cameron:  ha!  That is so funny!

Mom:  I worry about him having a big cultural shock!  He asked if he could take the bus places.  Yikes!  Do you think he will be homesick?  Pray that everything goes well and he passes through immigration etc.  He has come to far for it not to happen now.  Thanks for this opportunity Bubba! I am sure he will change our lives for the better.  Are you excited to finally have a brother?  When you get home we will do family pictures.

Cameron:  It will be a cultural shock but he will adapt. What size of shoe are you?

Mom: I am an eight and a half.  What's new there?  I still want to hear about you and know what you are doing...

Cameron:  I like my companion a lot, he is funny.  Elder Ayala that lives with us that is from Uruguay is coming to Utah in March 2019.  I am so excited.  I like him a lot!

Mom:  Why is he coming to Utah?

Cameron:  He has family in Farmington. Next year I want to go to conference as a family.

Mom:  That sounds great!  Next year, I will have my whole family here and I would love nothing more than to spend time with them and enjoy conference.

Cameron:  When can we come back to Brazil?

Mom:  I don't know, when do you want to?

Cameron:  We will have to plan it.  I love you.  Have a good week.  I love you and thank you.

Mom:  I love you son!  I am proud to be your mom!!!

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you all had a great week being spiritually feed by the servants of the lord. I loved every minute of conference. I know that they are called of God and everything that they talked about will help our lives if you apply it. I really enjoyed President Dieter F. Uchtdrorf's talk to start conference. He talked about how the lord has prepared the way for us. He also told us how the lord will use us to help others come unto Christ. So as members we need to share the truth that we have and love and help others come to Christ.  I loved how they talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and how we need to study it everyday. I testify that it will help our lives so much if we follow what they said and read every day.
