photos from the missionary!

When Jack's trainer Elder Olson came on Saturday he brought a CD FULL of pictures from Jack! Every week I am going to post some here. They are so awesome it's hard to pick what to put up first!
On the plane from Sao Paulo to Maceio
Just before a Baptism.

Elder Olson on what Jack named "hill Riplah"

After tracting & it started raining!


Playing soccer with the guys on Prep day.

What about that soccer field- sweet huh!?

Elder Olson & the mammita who makes them lunch everyday & ya- jack.

Another Baptism- so sweet.

They ran into these guys dressed for a party on the way home one day & got pictures with them.

A dog they adopted who hangs out near their apartment-- um.. scary?
These pictures have been so GREAT!
It's so fun to see all the places he talks about in his letters & emails. He has an extensive knowledge of the Book of Mormon (he has almost finished it for the 10th time this year alone) and has named a lot of the places he visits after sites in the Book of Mormon. Funny guy. I love this kid. He is working hard to bring his Brothers & Sisters in this world closer to Christ & teaching them about His love for all of His children.
He is named after my dad- Jack-
We named him well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD- WE LOVE YOU TOO!
more to come... next week

What a gift to have one of Jack's companions come over and bring a cd full of pictures! I'm excited for you and so glad this came so soon after you were missing him so badly on Thanksgiving.

What a treasure!!

He's read the Book of Mormon 10 times this year?? I could not be more impressed.
