2011 Brazil Misson Reunion

Queridos irmãos:

Once again a reminder of our reunion coming up this coming week before conference:

- Thurdsay, March 31st
- 6pm-8:30pm
- Alpine Stake Center, 98 E Canyon Crest Dr, Alpine, Utah

This will be our first meeting together since the passing of our beloved President Bangerter.  We hope to be able to continue meeting on a periodic basic for a long time.

In Thursday's meeting, we will be able to catch up on many items of interest; some Brazilian members will be speaking to us, as well as some of our own recently returned missionaries.

Also, over some fun Brazilian snacks and guaranã, we will have a good chance to visit once more with each other and with Sister Bangerter.  There will also be fun photos of us in our young missionary years to reminisce over. (See attached photos as examples!)

Since our last E-mail, several people have been working on updating our group's database of addresses and E-mails.  (We currently have over 530 names listed.)  Many have been found through their efforts, but we still have over half of our Elders and Sisters who we have not been able to contact due to discontinued E-mail addresses, invalid home addresses, and phone numbers no longer in service.  We will have these lists at the reunion and solicit your help in locating as many as we can.  Those we have been able to contact have expressed much appreciation that we have located them and made contact after many years.  There have had several uplifting experiences as we have found and conversed with some of our 'lost' friends.

Be sure to keep in touch with our website at ... therussells.net/brazil .  Also, announcements of our reunions are always listed in the Deseret News prior to conference(s). 

See you all there this Thursday.
