Dear Family
Just Another Day in Paradise, This past few weeks have been wonderful, we eat wonderful food way too much, We had a several wonderful meals with the members here in the area and they cook so well.
We had a fun discovery when a sister came in to stay with us for conference. She's leaving for home and came in a couple days early. We found that she knew Jenny when Jenny was in Peru! We texted Jenny about it and Jenny sent back a picture of a hair decoration - Sister Jimenez had made it for her six years ago! What a delight, especially since she is such a good sister - we will miss her a lot.
Easter eggs are a little different here - they are huge chocolate eggs, often with toys and things inside. It's a big thing here, so they don't do colored eggs or easter egg hunts, but everyone buys the big chocolate eggs.
 |
| I almost bought one of these, but Mom wouldn't let me :) About $20 US. |
 |
| I did buy this one, even though Mom said no. It had a toy inside, but we gave it to Sister Jimenez. |
We visited the Pantanal again and it is so beautiful there. I will add another entry with just pantanal pictures.
 |
| This is the resort (pousada) where we stayed |
 |
| It really doesn't get much better than this. |
 |
| Mom's favorite bird - tuiuiu (2-U-U), stands about 4 ft high |
We sang Popcorn Popping in Portuguese as we threw out Popcorn balls to the audience. The singing was truly awful, but they loved the popcorn balls! Sorry we didn't get a better picture...
 |
| Throwing the popcorn balls - notice our most awesome tree! :) |
Our Office Elders are leaving us and the new ones have been here training. One of the new ones is a wonderful cartoonist and he made us a Pantanal cartoon for Easter.
