Recent doings/ Random Pictures

There is nothing quite like a missionary choir. This is one of the zones singing at the conference.
Alan has been busy making fudge. It is a hit down here. I really don't know how many batches he has made, but it is a lot.

I love this kid. Besides the fact that I don't understand Portuguese very well, he has a pretty heavy lisp. I don't understand hardly a word he says, but I always understand his smile.


We had to say goodby to two of our really great sisters on the same day. The one on the left will be back ,if everything goes well, after she gets her ankle fixed. The one on the right is headed for BYU.


This is a picture of some of the missionaries in the musical devotional getting on the bus to go to Sobral. They were a great group.

Alan is chatting with everybody after our lunch at the restaurant in Sobral. That long table of missionaries drew a lot of stares that day.


You can't go wrong with the candy bar game. Frankly, I don't think they make a candy bar down here that I would want to steal, but the elders had a lot of fun playing it.


This overturned truck was on the road to Sobral when we went out last week. It had a load of logs that were all over the place. It probably swerved trying to miss a big pot hole or a goat or something. Just another verification of the reason we don't like to drive that road. It was still on the road when we went back about 6 hours later.
I had to take this picture while we were cooking for the conferences. All six of the burners were on and the oven was on too. Can you say sweat? We were dripping.

Great pictures. It's good to see pictures of you guys & the missionaries. That looks like one step beyond fun on the cooking, though!

So interesting to see how another country does Chrsitmas. What memories for you guys! Loved the pics of the decorations, and the random ones, too. It makes me try to imagine my boys with their mission presidents. Those missionaries are lucky to have you.

Hey Uncle Alan,
Curtis says nice forearms. We think you look good in short sleeves!! I love your fudge. It is so good. Have a great Christmas with all your kids visiting.
