Corey and Leah have been in Brazil now for almost a week and this is the e-mail that she sent home on Friday

"So you guys will never believe this but yesterday Corey Shane and I went to an adult conference and guess who was speaking? Elder Neil L. Andersen! Yep! And we got to shake his hand! Shane got to shake his hand as well. It was very exciting. We knew we wanted to go but it was late at night and Shane goes to sleep early. But we did it anyway and it was awesome! (Shane cried all night because we did it but oh well) We also went to the temple yesterday and we met the temple president who is an American! And a Senior missionary couple from California. It was really cool to be able to speak English to someone. They were very excited to say the temple ordinances in English. The sisters spoke to me for a very long time. At the conference we also met a young couple from Utah who just moved to Recife to complete training for a new job. They will live here for a year. Crazy how many American's we met in one day. Anyway just wanted to update all of you. Things are great but very different with Shane here. So many things we can't do. But still we are having a great time. Love you all!

Leah Corey and Shane :)"
