Parabéns a você,
Nesta data querida.
Muitas felicidades,
Muitos anos de vida.
Hoje é dia de festa,
Cantam as nossas almas.
Para a menina mom,
Uma salva de palmas.
Dear Mom:
I must admit, it has been a jocular turn of events to see you trying to learn a foreign language, and struggling to eat strange fish products that people put in front of you. I guess I am getting a better perspective on what you were going through while I was in Korea, and certainly you are getting a feel for what I went through. I am proud of you for eating bacalhau.
I could not think of a better way to host the birthday wishing blog post for you, than to put a picture of all of us on there. From all nine of us, and our loving families, we love you, and are praying for you, and wish you a happy birthday.
A mais cara mãe, obrigado para que ensina nós o que nós necessitamos saber para ser felizes. Você é um exemplo maravilhoso a todos nós. O Deus de maio bless o em seu serviço. Nós amamo-lo.
Eu te amo,
Nathan
p.s., Pardon the Portuguese if it is hopelessly butchered...I did my best.

Thank you, Nathan. What a treat to wake up and be wished a happy birthday before you are even out of bed! I am truly amazed that you wrote to me in Portuguese. What is even more amazing is that I understood most of it!!! I love you. Thanks again.
Mom
That's pretty good Nathan, how did you learn Portuguese that fast? Internet translation? That's what I use sometimes. Mom is having a great birthday. She misses all of you and your families immensly, but you know her she is bound and determined to make it through. Our local Elders and I are taking her to Obidos (Ancient Castle/Fortress--Google it)to the annual Chocolate Festival. It's 5 minutes away. They are also baking her a cake and we're going to eat Chinese Food somewhere. Then tonight she is back teaching English. I don't know why she always worries about that because she does great. Our District Leaders just sent her a text message to wish her a Happy Birthday. She is doing great in the language, but would never admit it. She knows the grammar better than I do. The injuries from her fall seem to be getting much better. She is the best companheira anyone could have and has raised the best familia anyone could have. We love you all. This is her day from my perspective.
Dad
Happy Birthday Susan! Lucky you -- a Chocolate festival on your birthday! I'd die and go to heaven on that and castles in a foreign country! We hope you have a great day. You are an incredible lady and I'm lucky to be a part of your family.

Mom, I love you and I hope that you have a super day. Thankyou so much for being who you are and always being so upbeat and positive. I can't believe how much I have learned from you and how much I want to be like you. Rachel, Allison and I were just talking this morning about how much we truly depend on you not only for ourselves, but also for our children. You are loved, thankyou mom. Happy Birthday.
Love, Rebecca
We tried to call and sing you a happy birthday but your answering machine scared the kids. We didn't understand what she was saying so we don't know if anything came through but we tried.
We hope you the happiest birthday and look forward to the Chocolate Fest pictures...If you could possibly 'WonkaVision' those pictures so we can actually have a taste that would be great. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Love the CO Biggs Family.
Happy Happy Birthday Mom! I hope it's the best! Enjoy the chocolate!
love you.

Thank you for all your good wishes, everyone. I have had a wonderful birthday, from the flowers and beads Dad surprised me with first thing this morning, to the two cakes the Elders made me, to the lunch at the Chinese restaurant (the owner gave me a ring for my birthday), to the chocolate festival (we bought chocolate for everyone! Sort of a mailbox wonka vision) to the wonderful notes and good wishes from so many of my favorite people. I love you all.
Mom/Grandma
Hope your Birthday was a good one, Mom. Sure do love you.

I don't know if you'll even get this message because I'm so late getting it to you. It's still your birthday here, but it has passed where you are. Oh well better late then never. I hope you had a great time on your princess day, a castle and chocolate, yep I'd definitly call that princess day. I love you and thank you for the example you are to me. I'm grateful for your love and support. Happy Birthday!
