Our family has a temple challenge going on

We hope to visit each temple in Brasil while we are living here

You are able to do the same ordinance's and special things in each temple but its a good excuse to get out and explore

So far we have visited Manaus and Campinas as a family

We still have Recife, Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Belem, Fortaleza (under construction), Rio (under construction) and Brasila (site planned)

We hope the Brasilia temple will be completed before we leave Brasil, fingers crossed!

 Jo and Gwen were not allowed inside the temple so I hung out on the grounds and in the waiting area while Rob took the older three in to perform baptisms

Jo is already talking about the first temple she wants to go into when she turns 12

 The landscaping at temples is always beautiful

This temple was no exception

It made it even cooler because we know the main landscaper that designed the plans for this temple

Campinas

After Paraty, we took off for our last stop for the trip- Campinas. Our main reason for stopping in Campinas was to visit the LDS temple there. We pulled in at around 11 o'clock that night and were headed home the next afternoon.

 

 

On our way home, we stopped about mid-way at a hotel to sleep and get some rest before the final leg of the trip. That night we stopped for dinner at a burger place. The burgers were delicious and filled our tummies to the brim

I picked a few plants up on the way home.....

We found the Statue of Liberty!!!
