Missionary Conference

At the end of December and the beginning of January our family took a trip to the south of Brazil to a city named Itu. It is a smaller city outside of Sao Paulo. Our fmaily spent a week with the Goncalves family just hanging out and getting away from the big city life of Salvador. Travis spent the New Year in the city of Sao Paulo enjoying being a bachelor for the night while I stayed in Itu with the kids and talking to family over the internet. After our week with the Goncalves family we spent a week at the missionary conference which is held in different cities around Brazil every year. It was a good time to meet other missionary families and get fed. It was the first time that Ceara spent a lot of time without us as they had babysitters so that was nice to get that break, and of course she loved being with other kids. She loved it so much that she never cried and was one of the youngest kids there while the others had a little harder time leaving mom and dad. The unfortunate part is that Travis suffered a hurt calf after a rough game of basketball and returned to the hotel needing to use crutches for the rest of the week. Overall it was a great time of refreshing and some fun.
