Our anniversary weekend began with an invitation to a nice dinner with the Monteiro family. The timing was perfect, because we were planning to stay in Curitiba on Friday, September 4th, before our two-day trip to visit Bocaiúva do Sul, where we had served for the first year of our mission.
Sister Monteiro and a sister missionary picked us up and drove to Curitiba, dropped the sister off at her apartment, then when to the Mission Home, where we met the rest of the family. President Monteiro drove all of us to the M___, a VERY nice Italian restaurant, with fine foods and many entrés. After dinner, we were taken to the Bristol Hotel, where we stayed the night. It was a nice hotel for an incredible price, with a lovely breakfast. It also was close to the Cabral bus terminal, where we planned to begin our short trip to Bocaiúva. |
