Coelho's Family Message

We would like to share a message we received from a family in Portugal



Dear Restrepo Family,

Today we had our missionaries over for dinner and we were happy to learn more about Sister Restrepo , her family and her motivation to be here. How she wanted to be an example to her brother and how she decided to come on a mission after teaching with the sister missionaries one day and how much her mother cried with her when she said she was going to serve. And how her father cried and still cries everyday....  ( fathers...)  We always see a discreet smile on her face at church but today we got a glimpse of her mischief... we can see there's so much more to her,  a beautiful and vibrant young woman. We are happy that she came and she certainly brought her testimony with her .We love her dearly even though she's been here for such a short time. We hope to keep her for a while. She's great example to our 5 year old daughter, Joana.

 By the way, we are Cláudia ( the Mom wearing glasses) , Francisco ( the Dad going bald), Tomás ( the 9 year old brain in the family) and Joana ( the 5 year old princess/ drama queen).

 We are the Coelho's and we absolutely love our boisterous band of missionaries/ rock stars.

 Thank you for your sweet girl.  You must be so proud of her!

 Love,

 Os Coelhos
