I added some additional information to the "Mission Info" page that will hopefully help with sending mail to missionaries in the mission.

The national touring company, DanceBrazil, will perform at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City on February 25. DanceBrazil features some of the best Capoeira dancers in the world and live traditional music. I have included some information about the performance below.
In conjunction with the stage production, we are showing a Portuguese film entitled Ginga about five Capoeristas and their journey from Brazil to the Joyce Theatre in New York City. This film is open to the public and free of charge. The details of the film screening are also contained below. The film has English subtitles.
Finally, be sure to tell all of your mission buddies that if they have a
nametag from a Portuguese speaking mission to wear it to the performance.
We will be handing out free Gaurana (a Brazilian drink) to everyone that is wearing one. All patrons will also receive a voucher for a free Capoeria lesson with Brazilian Capoeria!
Please call me if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of these items further.

About the DanceBrazil performance at Kingsbury Hall
Is it fighting or is it dance? That’s what the 16th century creators of
this art form hoped you would ask. DanceBrazil will perform Capoeira at Kingsbury Hall February 25. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian dance style that combines martial arts with dance movements. Capoeira has its roots in the 16th century slave cultures of the Portuguese colony, Angola. Forbidden to learn formal combat, the dancers disguised fighting practice with traditional African dances. Accompanied by live music, DanceBrazil creates
a culturally rich and entertaining evening. The Brazilian Muse commented: “You could feel the symbolic importance of these human connections, and how the legacy of slavery was a legacy of survival through connection, interaction, and support.”
What: Ginga, a documentary about DanceBrazil and Capoeira
Directed by Gustavo Moraes, Portuguese film with English subtitles
When: February 22, 2005
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Where: Utah Museum of Fine Arts
How: Free and open to the public
Kingsbury Hall in conjunction with the Salt Lake Film Center and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts will host a free screening of the film Ginga, a documentary about Capoeira dancers and their journey from Brazil to perform with a professional company in New York City. Capoeira has its roots in the 16th century slave cultures of the Portuguese colony, Angola. Forbidden to learn formal combat, the dancers disguised fighting practice with traditional African dances. The timing of this event coincides with the University of Utah’s Black History month activities. The screening will take place at 1:00 PM on February 22 at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, located at 410 Campus Center Drive on the University of Utah Campus. The
screening is free of charge and lasts about 1 hour. Kingsbury Hall will host a drawing at the screening for a prize package that includes premium tickets to DanceBrazil and dinner for two at Rodizio Grill, the Brazilian Steakhouse located at Trolley Square.
About the film: Through the years, many of DanceBrazil’s company members have come from the ranks of Jelon Vieira’s community-based capoeira program in Boca do Rio, Brazil. Ginga is a documentary about five of these young adults who were selected to come to the United States and perform with DanceBrazil. In the film, Director Gustavo Moraes follows these engaging performers from rehearsals in Brazil to the Joyce Theater in New York City, and then catches up with them two years later. Moraes wonderfully captures their desire to become accomplished performers and
capoeiristas, their dreams of coming to America, their expectations,
anxieties, frustrations, and tenacity—and their absolute thrill of
finally being onstage.

Olá a todos os companheiros de Missão,
Quero fazer um convite a todos os missionarios brasileiros, que serviram no período dos presidentes Fabrício e Zollinger.
Tendo em vista que nunca nos reunimos como missão após nosso retorno ao lar, gostaria de convidar aos interessados a planejarmos um reencontro na forma de uma reunião de missionários retornados.
Nos últimos tempos tenho visto a movimentação dos estrangeiros realizando encontros com Pres. Zollinger, mas o que me surpreendeu foi o fato de eles terem reunidos inclusive com o Fabrício. Agora o que mais me admirou e que os missionarios de Pres. Simplício já tem reunião marcada, ponto para eles e para Pres. Simplicio.
Que tal marcarmos e planejarmos uma reunião com os missionários de nosso período
Fico no aguardo da resposta dos interessados.

Hi all!
I received a question recently regarding email access for missionaries. Does anyone know the current Church policy, or President Simplicio's policy on whether missionaries can email their families?
Obrigado!
Responses I've received:
I called Salt Lake last 1 1/2 years ago and they said the policy world wide was that missionaries could only email their families. I was under the impression that they could receive email from other sources but could not respond by email. President Simplicio lets the missionaries email their families (only family).
Our son is currently serving in Araraquara.He allowed to email each pday.
He can communicate to parents and siblings only. We love it!
Our son has been serving in the RP mission with President Simplicio since 8/03. They are able to email their immediate family (parents, siblings, grandparents) each week using the "myldsmail.net" service.
A year ago the church assigned the missionaries email addresses. Apparently there were some abuses going on with regarding to sending/receiving email. All missionaries were denied email privileges for about a month then as I said the church assigned emails to, I'm guessing, any missionary wanting an email address. Now only immediate family members and grandparents are allowed to use the email address. If anyone else uses it the missionary loses email privileges for the rest of the mission. That was the policy a year ago and I assume they are still sticking to it.

Hey everyone!
I need some help....
I'm trying to find out if anyone who ever served in Barretos knew a guy named Carlao (Carlos) Sequeira and his family. ??? He was a branch pres. there for a little while, but then some weird stuff happened. He was still very active though when I was there in '95. I know he worked as a graphics designer/artist (maybe for the town newspaper?).
His wife's name is Miriam and they had one little girl at the time (but she was pregnant too).
Awesome family! I miss them a lot and would like to contact them. It would really mean a ton to me! Please help if you can! Thanks! :)

I get my farofa (Yoki) at a Mexican store on State Street just south of 8th south in Orem. I can't think of the name right off,...La Pequenita or something, but it always has a sign out by the street...it's next door to the American Quilting store, back a little ways off of the street. They also have Guarana, a variety of candy (Sonha de Valsa!), and other Brazillian items. Macey's in Orem also sells Guarana in their Mexican aisle.

For the rice you will need whatever type of rice you prefer, garlic, oil, salt or chicken bullion, and onion is optional.
put a small amount of oil in a saucepan, add the garlic (1 - 2 cloves minced per cup of rice) and cook slightly (if you want to use onion, you would add finely chopped onion at this point and saute slightly before adding the rice), add the rice and brown lightly cooking over medium to high heat and stirring frequently. Add the amount of water recommended for the type of rice you are using (usually the amount of water is twice that of the rice, ie: 2 cups water to 1 cup rice). Add enough salt or bullion for a fairly salty, not too salty broth. The rice will be about as salty as you make the broth. Put the lid on and cook for the specified amount of time (usually about 20 minutes, unless you are using brown rice).
For the feijao you will need dried pinto beans, garlic, onion, bacon, bay leaf, salt, and any other items you may want to season with (cilantro and cumin are sometimes used, frequently used in feijoada). Also you will need a pressure cooker, although you cook the beans on the stove or in a crock pot, but it will take several hours.
Soak the beans in hot water several hours or overnight. Cook the beans in the pressure cooker for the amount of time specified in your manual for pinto beans, I think it's usually 15 - 20 minutes. While the beans are cooking, chop the bacon and cook it in a saucepan until it renders most of the fat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic in and saute in the bacon fat until the onions are more or less cooked (use however much you like of the garlic and onion, they really give them a lot of flavor, so I use quite a bit). Add bay leaf in with the onion mixture and saute a minute or two more. At this point, add cilantro or cumin, if you like. When the beans are done, add the onion mixture and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. You will probably need to add salt, just add it to taste. If you want your beans a little thicker, you could run a few through the blender, or mash a few with a potato masher.
I hope this isn't to general as far as amounts go, but I've never seen any of the brasilians I know actually measure out the ingredients for the beans, it's just kind of something they all do their own way, although the method of cooking the beans and making the seasoning separately before adding it is pretty universal.

There are a number of stores, check the yellow pages. Made in Brasil (sp) has a number of import items, I'm pretty sure they have farofa.

OK - the rice is relatively easy to get right. The beans are harder to get right 'cause you need a pressure cooker.
Rice - In a large saucepan or pot, (depending on quantity).
2-3 Tbsp. cooking oil, to taste
2 cups Long-grain white rice
(The rice can be any arbitrary quantity, as long as you can use the same measuring cup or whatever to measure twice that volume for the water. Add more oil for lots of rice)
Have 4 cups of hot water ready to dump into the pot
Heat the pan, add the oil and rice, and stir them until a few of the grains start to brown a bit. Add garlic salt and onion salt in reasonable quantities during this process.
When you see a few darkened grains of rice, dump in the water, stir the whole mess once or twice, cover it tightly and turn down the heat so it doesn't boil over. Let it cook ~10 min, until there is no visible liquid water and it looks cooked. Don't check too often and don't ever stir it. Overcooking a bit at low heat does nothing any harm - the browned part at the bottom is great. :)
This is also nice if you add some chicken boullion or broth to the water. Just keep the liquid level constant.
Feijao - best bet is to go to the grocery store, buy some cans of red beans (NOT kidney:) and heat them on the stove. You can add some garlic powder or chicken boullion to flavor them.
Authentically, you'd put the beans in a pressure cooker, add a small amount of water and some cooking oil, garlic and salt and perhaps (again) chicken boullion powder, seal, and put on the stove for 20 min. or so. Makes that nice caldo de feijao that I loved so much. Gotta have a pressure cooker, though. I can't guarantee the cooking time, either - this is 5-year-old memory at this point.

Como falei na ultima mensagem, encontramos com Antonio Carone em San Diego semana passada. Eu conversei com ele hoje a tarde, porque ele me contou em San Diego que este domingo ele teria um reuniao com Elder Richard G. Scott logo depois de voltar para Brasil. Entao estavamos com muito curiosidade sobre esta visita com um apostolo.
Entao a estaca de Sao Joao da Boa Vista se-dividiu, e Pouso Alegre virou um Distrito com Antonio Carone como Presidente, Espitido e o 1o coselheiro dele e um missionario retornado que nao conheco e o 2o conselheiro. O distrito consiste de Pouso Alegre, Ouro Fino, e Alfenas agora. Nao sei sobre SJBV, mas sei que Presidente Nogueiro foi desobrigado e o filho dele e o novo presidente de estaca de SJBV.
Eu tenho tanto orgulho, sim orgulho, sobre Carone, porem nao fizemos muito com ele, porque ele era tao eleito. Ele e a unica pessoa com quem tenho contato da missao. Ele veu para Utah por esta Conferencia Geral passada e ficou com meus pais por uma semana. (Se algum de voces conhecem ele e gostaria encontrar ele, me contate e vou ajudar voce contatar ele. Ele normalmente viaja para EU 2 vezes por ano pelas conferencias medicas.) Nos encomtrams em San Diego como falei, e passamos por Sea World na seixta e as prias no sabado com ele. Sabado de manha Carone e eu fomos correndo da manha (ele e forte, sempre estava tentando achar uma subida mais dificil de mim!) Cada noite fomos a casa dos Zollinger (onde Carone estava) onde ficamos conversando sobre a missao. No domingo fomos para a ala deles, e o bispo pediu que contamos 166 em Portugues, so nos 5.
Bem posso falar de mais sobre nosso tempo juntos, mas provavelment fica enjoado. Escrevo por que semana passada me deu tantos lembrancas da missao, eu queria compartilhar.

Semana passada nossa familia foi para San Diego, porque Bispo Carone de Pouso Alegre estava la por uma conferencia medica. Entao, fomos na casa de Presidente Zollinger cada dia, e ficamos conhecendo eles.
Quero dizer que ate la, nunca conhecemos eles (alem de uma noite familiar com eles antes da missao deles), mas realmente podemos dizer que eles sao otimos. Amamos Presidente Fabricio, e agora amamos a familia Zollinger. Sao gente boa demais. Da para ver que eles eram um bom casal, e que fizeram uma grande obra na terra promitida, Ribeirao Preto. Os missionarios que serviram com eles foram abencoados para conhece-los.

Once again Fabricio and his wife will be here to visit his family. He would also like to visit with former Ribeirao Preto missionaries. He has asked me to plan a get-together and wanted the date to be Dec. 4th around 4pm(or so). I will need a chapel or house to hold the reunion and those of you who would like to help plan it. Please contact me at 801-716-1771. Dan Swensen
