 Thought you guys might enjoy this picture from Elder Vitor, as you can see people in Brazil also have undying love for their dogs. This dog has his own personal hammock, this is what I figured Mom and Dad would do if they were Brazilians!

Elder Marinho and I, might be our last week together, well have to see.

Sometimes when were waiting for the bus guys will pull up in their sketch old cars and offer us rides, we usually except, its faster and less cramped then the buses sometimes, even if were sitting 2 to a seat in the cars, usually these cars feel like theyre going to break at any moment.

 mmm more brazilian food, it NEVER changes here.
