Friend from Brazil visiting

Esther Leal is visiting us for a few days from Brazil.  She works with NTM of Brazil and has been with the mission for the past 7 years. 

It has been a wonderful experience to have her here with us.   She has really enjoyed her time with us and she has been a blessing to us. 

Esther can read English and can understand quite a bit of English but still struggles to speak our wonderful, confusing language.  She loves to talk to our 6 year old grandaughter, Katie.  If Katie doesn’t understand her she just looks at her with a sweet smile on her face. Esther appreciates it as then she knows she didn’t say it correctly and tries again until Katie understands.  It has been good for the little ones to be around her.  From here she goes to our mission headquarters to attend a conference.
