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.
