Rachel & Feliciano's Gallery

Here are the first few pictures, and a couple of videos, we took of the wedding. There should be some more really nice ones coming from the Ginters.

More info later...

manoel and ammon, at a little river that was transformed into a pool.

Aisling gave me a CD with images and movies of Brett's mission. You can see them here.

Here are some pictures at the MTC with Justin and gang.

Here are a few pictures of all those who have good wishes and admiration for Justin as he enters the MTC.
We had a lovely family Home evening in Rosanna and Pedro's house. Marilee and her girls sang "Sweet is the work" with their beautiful voices blending wonderfully. That set me up to teach the lesson on fear faith and the spirit. Justy is such a good example of humility, like Mike, that it was easy to show how being filled with charity will make them fearless as he enters into the unknown, possibly fearful, work of teaching the gospel. It was also easy to show by his example that remission of sins brings the gift of the Holy Ghost which in turns gives the gift of charity. In that audience it was natural to testify of the invitation of the the savior for all, no matter their transgressions, to come to him and become clean. We had a nice outpouring of the spirit.
Amazingly the member of the Mission Presidency who came to set Justy apart was our Mission President when we were in the Rochester Mission. That made his setting apart very special. Interesting how the Lord blesses us continually.

We had a wonderful dinner last night (Saturday the 12th of May). Aisling, a good friend from our ward, came to eat with us in celebration of Justin's arrival. She knows Brett and happened to bring several pictures of him that no one has seen before! So my Dad and I have scanned them and placed them up on the internet for you guys. These never-before-seen photos came just-in-time for Mother's Day! Hope you enjoy them.

For my birthday Mom and Dad included a CD from the Silva's. I have put it online for your viewing pleasure. It was so fun to see the videos and realize how perfectly we fit together. I would love to sit in the kitchen quoting movies and eating those yummy looking beans and rice.

Thanks for the tours of the rooms by Manoel and Eliane and Rachel. They were great. And Ammon gives the best tree tours around.

I just uploaded it all and it turns out the videos are pretty big...so you have to be patient while they load, but when they do they are worth it!

Thanks again!

Here are the photos and movies

So I have been given something rare--Elder Silva photos! All of a sudden there were several in my email. So it seemed like I should just put them online in case anyone, especially in Brazil, would like to see them. Don't know the story behind the individual pictures, maybe if anyone knows they can add comments.

You can see them all here.

I got a package in the mail today with a CD and two words "blog please". So here are the anticipated wedding pictures! Congrats James and welcome to our family Heather. We love you both and wish we were with you at your wedding. We are looking forward to getting to have you all down here!

Hey a ring! Look closely and see if you can see a reflection in it...you might have to click on the picture and view one of the larger images to see whose happy faces are reflected there...
Then take a look at these pictures!

Here are some pictures of Brett entering the MTC (thanks grandpa!)

This is what happens when you choose to play bball instead of go to a project at school...the elbow came in and the tooth came out. But, luckily it didn´t break and we shoved it back in the hole and today it was covered with groovy new braces...the latest pictures are on their way...

If at first you don´t succeed...we had some requests for a current picture of our princess, so here you go. Ü

What can I say? McKay gave himself a swirlie!
