Christmas in Portugal....Irma Egbert 2009

Kadie is on the other side of the world but enjoying the Christmas Season just the same. Their Branch had a Christmas gathering and they had a nativity....twas nice. This is Renata and Aurtr and baby Levi as the holy family.

These pictures aren't even close to being in the sequence I wanted them in...this is the closest thing Kadie could find to marshmallows in Portugal......which probably had everything to do with why her fudge didn't turn out the way she had hoped.

This is sort of a oops although this is one of my favorite pictures of Irma Egbert and Irma Centeno bowling with the zone.

Kadie wanted recipes from home to make goodies for the branch and zone parties....the chocolate chip cookies were a hit.....the fudge not so much. Kadie said that there is no such thing as chocolate chips in Portugal and she chopped up cheap Portugal chocolate for the cookies...she wished she would have just splurged and bought some good chocolate and.... the different measurements tripped her up a bit. Kadie said one member said that for the next party they were just having cookies because she liked the cookies so much...Kadie said poor Portugal people don't know what they are missing out on because Kadie didn't think they were that good;o(

Santa Irma Egbert...sweet!

Baptism of Renata and Aurtr November 14 2009

Another Baptism Odello....Kadie and one of her companions Irma Sallaes had the oprotunity to teach Odello but turned him over to the Elders. I think this was in December.

Angels for the nativity Iara and Adriana....so cute.

Irma Dantas is Kadie's newest companion and has actually been called to the SLC temple mission but she is training with Kadie until her visa come through. Irma Dantas being an Angel.
