Summer news!

James just got word on his summer job plans. He'll be working at a big London-based law firm. They usually let their summer associates split their time between two offices. We knew we would be in London for the first 5 weeks, but were waiting to hear about the last 5 weeks.

So...we're headed to...



SAO PAULO, BRAZIL!!

The firm said they would try to place us in Brazil but not to keep our hopes up because the chances were slim, so we were very shocked. James, of course, is above and beyond ecstatic. He's already planned to go to church in a different area each week. His mom's family lives just one state over from Sao Paulo and his mission area is a two-hour bus ride away. (James says to also write that Alyson is excited to learn Portuguese). I am really excited, but I am still quite surprised.

We'll keep you posted on the details!

We don't know the travel details yet. James will probably have to go straight to Brazil, but maybe I could. It all depends on when James starts, ends, etc.

That's really exciting, you guys! What fun for James to practice his Portuguese and show Alyson around the country a little bit. It would be fun to see you again, if you get a chance to come back to the states.
