Me on the phone, you could put it on the website when you put the Xmas phone call up.





Here is a picture of Marisa's baptism in front of the Vila Mariana chapel, the prettiest chapel I've seen so far.






Some of my zone in front of the Banespa, one of the tallest builidngs in Sao Paulo.

This is a picture of my group, just about ready to go home.






And this is the last photo I took of big Elder Jones.

This is a couple pictures of Elder Staley and I at the Sao Paulo Temple on Saturday.













This is from yesterdays Christmas Conference of me and my two trainees, Elder Carvalho and Elder Costa, "my boys.."

Hey, just one of Elder Jones and I right before he left yesterday. Put this on the website with the title, "If We Go Down, We Go Down Together" and then put some cool quote about friends or a quote that can capitalize the fun we had together....

This is Zona Ipiranga. Elders Jorge, Barney, Smith, de Oliveira, Trawick, Jones, Stokes, Coimbra, Pereira, Andre, Quayle, Wright, Bond, Mota, Sisters Ratzke and Ribeiro. Cool dudes, especially Elder Jorge, far left doing the peace sign, and Elder Quayle behind him. Elder Quayle is 6 foot 7.



This is the new Referrals Secretary. I trained Elder Trawick, in the middle, and he trained Elder Muhlestein, on the far left. That's three generations of referral secretaries.


Usually at the end of the mission, a missionary makes a sweet planner cover with pictures. This planner of mine is called "A Tribute to Those Who Have Gone Before" It has the likes of Elder Turner, Elder Hicks, Elder Stoddard, and Elder Tonks. Also I threw Elder Jones on there for fun.

The first two pictures are of Elder Jones and I eating Subway. Now, that seems pretty common right, but there are only two of them in the whole city. A member, Augusto, offered to buy Subway for us, but we told him we couldn't go because it was out of our mission.


So he said that was no problem, he dropped us off at a corner in our area and went and got us both foot long Italians on wheat with all the fixins. It was absolutely delicous. You can tell how much we enjoyed it.




The next picture is of Elder J in the Metro Station of Vergueiro, about a 3 minute missionary pace walk from our house. We took it on Sunday.
