Happy Birthday Dad

What a great way to start your 58th year!!!! The calls and gift from home was the highlight of his day. The Missionaries and friends here made it easier to be away from home. The first picture is Dad with a new tie that the Elders bought. They wrapped it in a Christmas stocking. It is a sharp tie, they know ties.The Missionaries suprised him by singing Happy Birthday in Portuguese.
That included the missionaries who speak English, Chinese, Spanish and yes me too. After the suprise and song there was a group hug!!! Elders only.

The girls that live upstairs (Selenne, Karla, Emily and Kelly) decorated the apartment and sang Happy Birthday in spanish loudly at 5:50 am before they left for seminary and work. It is nice to be loved by family and friends!!
