Port/Beach & Skate Park in Porto Alegre
Elders Kirschman & Fernandes, Elders Robertson & Godoy (from Holiday, UT and Brazil respectively), Elders Maruji & Ritter (from Washingtom and Sau Paulo repectively) got to go to the port in Porto Alegre for a day and they saw the biggest skate park (Max was stoked) and the port - it was a fun outing!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX! - Mom made a photo blanket for Max for his birthday! All of the Elders were jealous.
The Elders got to go to the Temple and to downtown Porto Alegre. Here's an excerpt from his Jan. 31, 2009 letter:
"Oh man! on Wednesday we finally went to the temple!!! It was SO awesome and so amazing. i'm sorry but pics do not do it justice, it is so much more beautiful in real life and its up on this hill overlookin the city and its bout 25 min from the office. the grounds were gorgeous, with so many flowers and palm trees and the temple is amazing and the inside was even sweeter. its not even 9 years old - it opened in 2000 and it is so so nice. it was so nice to be able to feel the happiness and peace that comes from bein in the temple, the Spirit is always so strong, no matter what and its just what i needed. it was crazy in portuguese but i found that i understood a lot more than i thought i would and normally do in normal conversation and it was such a neat experience :) i hope we can go back soon. oh lemme tell ya bout the pics before i forget too - so last p day we went to downtown POA (thats Porto Alegre, ha ha) and went to that huge Cathedral and it was sweet and i got some pics of downtown and that statue in front of the cathedral in a park and of the temple.. hope you like :)"
Such cool pictures. It looks like he is doing really well. Good job Max!
