Visit to Brazil!

No, we didn't get the chance to visit Brazil...although I dream of doing that one day! But during September 2016, David Chalmers, the author of Go Into All the World, visited Gizelle and Estela on our behalf! He blogged about his time in Brazil, and shared about his Visit Day with the girls and then about his Birthday Bash (which he invited our girls to participate in).

Here are some photos of the project Gizelle and Estela attend, BR-417:

Estela keeps all of the letters she received in this black box (that she decorated with hearts!):

Here she is with her mother and her brother Pablo:

Gizelle saved all her letters (and showed them all to David by dumping them all over her bed!), but her family also put some photos on their wall. Gizelle also showed off her ballet dancing:

And here she is with her parents (her dad had recently had a motorcycle accident):

And here are some photos from the Birthday Bash!

I just loved a few of the videos too--Gizelle and Estela had a blast on the playground:


And David gave a great goodbye speech to the kids:
