Comments:
I can't believe it's almost been 20 years since those days in Belo Missao. I have been pretty busy since then. I have 2 Associate degrees (physical therapy / computer animation) and a Bachelor's in Sports Medicine. I'm living out in Las Vegas with my lovely wife of 14 years and 3 beautiful children (growing like weeds). I work for an outpatient sports rehab clinic and occasionally work with pro-boxers/UFC fighters. I am also a frelance cartoonist (trying hard to get syndicated). I have backpacked in Mexico and have switched my Portuquese to Spanish. My Portuguese is rusty but I can get by.

What I remember the most about my mission is:
1. Spending time with the Domingo family in Maracaju (my 2nd family).
2. Discussing doctrine and eating blowfish with Branch President Toninho (Maracaju).
3. Chuhasco with Elder Cipili!!
4. Shooting tape balls through a tennis ball container with Elder Sagers in Ribeirao Preto.
5. Elder Rawcliffe and I setting off firecrackers under Elder Santana's matress (Yes, that was us.)
6. Teaching a first discussion to a full congregation at an Evangelist Church.
7. Starting a branch in Tres Coracoes with Elder Affleck and getting our picture with the group in the Liahona. How big is the church there now?
8. Beatboxing at the Christmas Bash (1988) with b-boy Elder Vander.
9. The beautiful waterfalls around Tres Coracoes and surrounding areas.
10. Getting to know the beautiful people of Brazil.

Anyway, I hope I haven't embarrassed anyone...if so...get over it. It was fun.

Let me know of any reunions or if anyone just wants to drop a line or two. E-mail me.
