Sao Paulo, Brazil

Nate had the opportunity to go to Brazil on a work trip at the beginning of June. He was asked by one of his Brazilian coworkers to go with him to meet with some of their Brazilian investors in Sao Paulo, knowing he speaks Portuguese and served his mission there. He didn't go to Bahia where he served, but even just being back in Brazil was so, so great. He met up with some of his companions that live in Sao Paulo while he was there. His mission president, President Silva, is the temple president of the Sao Paulo temple, but he happened to be in the states the week Nate was there. But, he was so happy to see his companions and to be back in Brazil. It had been almost 20 years since he'd been there. I really wanted to go with him, but we decided I'll go next time when we have more time, when his mission president is there, and when we can go to Bahia where he served. Every time I talked to him or Facetimed him, I couldn't believe how happy he was. The time he spent in Brazil was and is still so special to him and he was thrilled to have even a little taste of it again and to reminisce with some of the missionaries he served with. I am so, so glad he got to go. (The last two pictures are the treats and souvenirs he brought back for us.)
