April 2013 Bangerter Group Reunion in Alpine


From Kim Russell, therussells.net/brazil
Queridos irmãos e irmãs:



Once again the Bangerter group is meeting together during this April's General Conference weekend.  

We will meet on Thursday, April 4th, at the Alpine Stake Center, 98 East Canyon Crest Rd, in Alpine, UT, just a few hundred yards north of the Bangerter home.  Festivities will begin at 6 p.m.  

It will be a great time to visit and catch up with each other.  Some will be presenting thoughts on their recent activities in or with Brazil.  There will be light snacks including Guaraná Antartica ...bem gelada!  

Sister Bangerter will have copies of her recently published life story for sale ($15) and personal autographing. The book can also be sent to you by mail for $20.  If you can't come this April and would like to purchase the book on your own please contact [Kim Russell,  kim@therussells.net for Bangerter family sources].

For your information, President Bangerter's autobiography will be published this summer.  Check our website for details as they become available.  This is one book that we will all be anxiously awaiting.

Hope to see you all at the reunion.

Kim Russell 

PS:  For those of you who will not be able to attend, I invite you to send me your comments with updates and thoughts about yourselves and your involvement with Brazil since your mission, or simply anything you would like to say to the group.  I will read these to those in attendance at the reunion and then pass them on to Sister Bangerter to keep.  My e-mail is .. kim@therussells.net

PPS:  I'm attaching a list of fellow missionaries that we have lost contact with mainly because of bad or incorrect e-mail addresses.  Would you mind looking over the list and filling in any addresses (or phone numbers) that you might know and sending me whatever you have?  That would be greatly appreciated as we don't want to lose anyone from our group.  If any of them have deceased, please so indicate.  (A list of deceased missionaries and spouses is being generated and will appear soon on our web site at ... therussells.net/brazil .)
