Another singing video and some sweet pictures

Note from Brigette: I have been delighted throughout Ashley's mission to receive videos of her singing periodically!  From a music video from her time at BYU being released a few months into her mission, to one from her MTC President, to another we received from members of the church in Brazil, to this one this week - it is always so good to hear her beautiful voice!  What makes this one especially fun is that these two missionaries were in Primary together as children and our families were friends in Arkansas 11 years ago before we moved to Texas.  They were in the same MTC district and reported to the Campinas mission the same day.  Enjoy! Lots of pics below the video.



Today's email was lots of pictures and very little text.  She did mention that she received a TON of email this week.  Yay! Thank you all for supporting and encouraging her!  Hopefully you all got emails today in response as well.

 She was thrilled this week to see a beloved friend be baptized.  She said "Yes - I cried my eyes out at the baptism!"

"My comp is from Mexico!"!! I´m living with 3 Hispanics! I told the Lord I wanted to learn Spanish! Haha!"

Another note from Brigette: This picture made me laugh out loud... for real! Before Ashley left for Brazil, she was using the Duolingo app and pretty much learned 2 sentences in Portuguese. "I have a butterfly" and "A snake ate a pineapple." Early in her mission, she sent me a picture of a butterfly and said "It happened! I don't think I'm going to get the other one..."  Well... here you go! Haha!

She also asked that I share the following talk with you today that she studied and enjoyed this week.  Enjoy! Click here to read "Living a Life of Peace, Joy, and Purpose".
