We have been in the mission field exactly 2 weeks today. We have a nice apartment 1 block from the beach with a view from the roof of the entire city and the ocean front. We are learning our duties in the office and enjoy interacting with the elders and sisters that come to the office. We had the opportunity to attend a zone conference last Friday that was inspirational. We were asked to bear our testimonies there and enjoyed meeting some 80 missionaries from the Recife and surrounding area. The two church buildings we have attended are beautiful buildings and thankfully there is air conditioning in the chapels. It is very hot and humid but we are adapting. Our apartment has partial air-conditioning and we are hoping to get another unit installed for the living and kitchen area. Jessie does not enjoy cooking while sweating in 85 degree F. heat. We are well and happy. Get home exhausted each evening and have been enjoying our kindle before bed each night.

So excited to see pictures and hear news from you this Monday morning. We have been thinking and praying for you all the time. I did not know you had to bear your testimonies at a zone conference, was it completely nerve-racking for you, Mom? I bet you were great. We miss and love you so!
Glad to see the photos of Recife. It looks like a beautiful city--and what beaches! You sound happy in the work, and I'm sure the Lord is blessing you with language skills beyond your natural abilities ("Gift of Tongues," right?). We think of you often, and pray the Lord's continued blessings on you in His work.
Love, Dick & Karin
