Greatings from Itapetinga, Brazil





1. Elder Ulysses (on his way home), Ben, and Elder Mills (my comp)
2. Almost all of the Itapetinga ward
3. Ben, Elder Mills, Gilvam, and Flavia (the happy couple) at their wedding

A favorite quote from one of Ben's letters:
After explaining the three kingdoms of glory (Celestial compared to the sun, Terrestial the moon, telestial the stars) to an investigator, Ben asked him to which he would like to go to which he replied "man has already gone to the moon, and the stars are too tiny to fit on, so I want to go to the sun." Ben couldn't help but laugh with the way he said it with a straight face.

  1. Well done Elder Ben. Looks like the Itapetinga ward could use a sleepy high priest or two.

    Keep up the good work.

  2. It looks like Ben is still committed to the work. We are proud to have him representing the extended family in Brazil. Keep up the good work!

  3. Awesome report and photos. Ben is looking great. Sleepy High Priests are over rated. They seldom have a guitar to loan to the elders from Illinois.

  4. Keep up the great work Elder Emmett. I think we should all go for the sun if only it was not so hot.
