On the last Sunday of September, Ozair/Rosecler came to church with four visitors from the United States. English speakers!! And they are from Ontario, Oregon!! They had gotten to know the Rebeiros (Ozair & Rosicler) when one of their sons lived with their family in Guaraituba while he was a missionary. They recently hosted the Rebeiro's in USA, including Idaho-Utah temple hopping and Provo's 4th of July Stadium of Fire. We were invited to lunch after church, as well as the missionaries and several of their kids/grandkids (25+!) The guests were Tom Butler and his wife, and the Weston’s, from Ontario, Oregon. Tom Butler is the son of the late owner of ORE-IDA, is the CPA handling his family's businesses, and had been Oregon state senator from Ontario area. Bro. Weston owns and farms land between Cairo Junction & Nyssa. Dennis enjoyed comparing notes about people, teams and events we all knew. I loved every minute of chatting in English. The 2 ladies were freezing, having difficulty with e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g in Brazil---chuckle---I completely knew what they were experiencing, and suggested they put on a sweater...or two. They were here to see sights in Brazil, taking turns with Ozair and Rosicler as hosts. They saw the Falls of Iguaçu, and loved Florianopolis, which is a beautiful island city and capital of the state of Santa Catarina (we went there on our 2013 trip).
