This is Jacy and Gabriela at their baptism. I don't know why, but Brazilians rarely smile ever. All of the pictures and stuff that they show us in their houses, there are rarely pearly whites shown. But it's OK. The baptisms went great, especially the fiasco of flooding and swimming and all the other stuff we had to do.

This is our Thanksgiving Dinner. The stuffing was the best part. Elder Smith from Minnesota and Elder Barney from Layton joined us. Our apartment is so small, it was a packed meal. And there was no football afterwards, which was pretty saddening. But I was grateful that they came over for a Brazilian Thanksgiving in Vila Mariana.

This is the crappy internet place we did internet in this morning. Look at that posture. It was so painful I had to go up to our apartment and we had to have a 5 foot tall Japanese lady come over and walk on my back to straighten it out. Not really, but those bar stools are painful.

Here is me in front of a sign at the Centro Cultural de Sao Paulo looking out over the city.





This is one of Elder Jones and I with our new Christmas lights we put up.

Elder Jones and I - Great Missionaries.







A picture of Elder Jones summoning the Metro, which automattically stops anyway, no need to summon.

Here is some pictures of me near the Monumento das Bandeiras which is huge, famous, and in the southern part of my area.





It's where I did contacts while I was in the CTM and Elder Jones and I went there on Friday and took some photos.







Me in front of the horses at the Monumento das Bandeiras.









The famous Obelisk of Sao Paulo, is also in my area and right near the Monumento das Bandeiras and Parque da Ibirapuera, really famous as well but one street out of our area, and mission.
