Leaving for Brazil
Just got a phone call from Bryan. He was allowed to call to let us know that his visa came through and he will be leaving for Sao Paolo, Brazil next Tuesday. He is excited and a little sad as he was just getting to know the people at the MTC in Provo. But he will find just as good of people in the MTC in Sao Paolo, I'm sure.

This will be his address when he gets there, so if you want to write him, scratch the Provo address I already gave and use this one instead:

Elder Bryan Jay Barney
Brazil Goiania Mission
Brazil Missionary Training Center
Rua Padre Antonio D'Angelo 121
Casa Verde
02516-040 Sao Paulo SP
Brazil

Just an FYI, it's 94 cents to send a letter to Brazil. They tell me it's a good idea to put stickers of Jesus Christ on the envelopes or any packages as that helps to discourage thieves from opening the mail (and they are notorious for pilfering mail, whether it be through customs or whatever).

He says he's doing well in his studies of Portuguese so we'll all expect him to talk with an accent when he returns in two years.
