New Photos from Luke in Ponta Pora, Brazil (CLICK on pic's to enlarge)

Michael and Alecia. The tall guy is Michael who served in the Provo Utah Mission back in 02’. He’s super helpful with all our work, and apparently he’s planning to move to Provo in about 3 years to study at BYU. His wife is from Paraguay, and is one of the best cooks that I’ve ever seen. She usually only speaks Spanish, so I’m learning to pick up on some Spanish words or Michael translates, as he speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese.


Alicia, Michael, and me.





Me, Elder Madsen from Ogden and his comp Elder Diogo. It was pretty cold that night, so Elder Diogo took my Elvis pants to use









Some guy sells little bikes of the soccer teams here in Brasil, so I bought one with my favorite team logo, The Corinthians










Lizard in our house. I’d like to catch him, but I dunno if he’s poisonous.

One of the families we eat lunch with. Sister Dilma (pronounced ‘Gilma’) The guys are to 12 & 13, named Kenny and Bruno. They like to listen to Backstreet Boys. The girl is their sister, Pamela, about Lauren’s age, (14 or 15).

The family dog of some members, named Diggy. A real beautiful huskie and really gentle too. He’s the only dog that I’ve met that doesn’t bark his head off at you. Really friendly.
