10/8/18 - Emma Letter to Family

This is the first I'm hearing about Dean's passing but I'm at peace. I'm relieved Grandma is doing well. You are all awesome (Mom especially) for enduring this with her. I love you all and I'm sending hugs your way! I missed you guys lots during conference too. Hyrum my name keeps changing becasuse Brasillians can't pronounce the letter R correctly and they're all creative.

My knees are a lot better. I really have felt your prayers! Thank you!

Brasil is going through an election right now and ther has been some concern about religious freedom. I'm glad to know Father in Heaven is in control.

Question: If Ephraim isn't one of the 12 tribes who are we? I've been trying to figure this out in my study. Do you think you can help me?

I love you all and miss you so much! I hope you like my new do. Eve was in on the surprise. I figure I'll see how long it grows in the next year before I come back :0

HUGGGS!

 Also, I almost stepped on a hairy spider bigger than a half dollar. Also I almost stepped on a leech. These are my Brasliilan friends. :)
