Elder Cook is coming to Cuiaba! He will talk to the members on the 28th of January and to the Elders on the 29th. Everyone is sooooooo excited to hear and meet an Apostle. I didn't realize how much I took advantage of that at home. They asked if I'd ever heard or seen an Apostle and I told them I'd been to conference before. It wasn't way wired to me but when they heard this, they nearly died!
They took a bus trip from Cuiaba to the temple. The colset temple is in Sao Paulo and it is a 24 hour bus ride. Some people spend a year building up and saving for this. They sell all they have to go. Literally all they have. When they get back, they start over and in a year they will do the same. They are so humble and excited to make this annual trip to the temple.
Interesting Note from Mom: We rode in the same plane as Elder Cook. We were on our way to vacation and he was headed to Brazil. There were lots of new missionaries just leaving to their mission on the same plane and they were taking pictures with Elder Cook, so we did not want to bother him. We later found out that was where he was going and wished we had talked to him and had him give Elder Stanger a hug from his mom!
