Visitor from Brasil

Danielle de Souza (Queroz) came to SLC for General Conference, so I took the day off of work to show her around some of the tourist-ish places that not so near down town (because she doesn't have car). She is from Boa Vista and was baptized with her family shortly before I was transferred there. She was a HUGE help to the missionaries because she'd take time out of lawschool to drive us all over the city getting legal documents for the families we were trying to help become legally married so they could be baptized. She also let me know that Luis and Valdeci had been through the temple and that their daughter Mirla was serving a mission.

First, we went to the "This is the Place State Park"

Most of the volunteer students were back in school so we couldn't go into any of the buildings. We started out just looking at the hand carts, which Caleb loved.


He acted scared of the pigs even though he wanted to be right next to them.

But he sure did love the train ride.

It's a good thing we went on the first ride because when we were done about 200 kindergarten kids all got on screaming and shouting.

From Salt Lake we went over Suncrest and up AF Canyon.

My poor wife gets car sick and those windy roads made her ready to toss her granola bars so we didn't even go all the way through. Instead we came back home, put Caleb to bed, ate some Rumbi Island Grill Hawaiian food and then went down to BYU and the MTC for a look around. By the time we got back Caleb handn't even woken up from his nap yet. Good thing Grandpa Gilbert was there keeping an eye on him, though.
