Egbert Brazilian Adventure: January 2015
http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Jan 31, 2015. Cooking, Shopping, and Integration Night at Cisco. Everyone was a little slow getting moving this morning. Breakfast was served at 10:30 am There has been 'discussion' recently on how best to cook scrambled eggs and what the word omelet means. I cooked a very nice looking stuffed omelet for the men this morning to end the discussion. Between the two of them, there is no room at the table to eat. We passed a vacant lot next to a high rise apartment building under construction. Wherever t...

Egbert Brazilian Adventure: May 2015
http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
May 30, 2015. Last Sunday in Brazil. This has been a week of "lasts." Merl and David were up early this morning and on the bus before 6:30 am - High Council meeting in Gramado. . . their last meeting with the District. I caught the bus to SF de Paula (with lots of library materials) and rode by myself this morning. No one was at the church when I arrived, but soon the bus and the missionaries came. Janice sang us a goodbye song and gave us a table piece – quilted runner with a temple applique. There was ...

http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015/05/special-delivery-and-piano-recital.html
May 19, 2015. Special Delivery and Piano Recital. On this cold and cloudy day, there was a bright spot. My computer power cord arrived! As a token of great appreciation, we gave him licorice, our small Christmas tree we didn't need to take home, and an air mattress we purchased for youth camp. He was most grateful for the air mattress. Flowering tree on the walk to. Front: Lauren, Barbara, Ann. Then, we were off to bed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Brian, Rachel and Kids. The magic of ordinary days.

May 4, 2015. Last day in Florianopolis. After breakfast, we went back to our room to repack and check out.

Then back to the bus for a ride to Bobbin Lace Street - Ann found her lady at t...

Egbert Brazilian Adventure: Florianopolis Market and Chasing Buses
http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015/05/florianopolis-market-and-chasing-buses.html
May 1, 2015. Florianopolis Market and Chasing Buses. The first thing we did this morning was to look out our hotel room window to assess the weather. It was still overcast, but looked like it might be a better day. Unfortunately (since it turned out to be the only "nice" day), the plans were to head to the Mercado Publico in the center of the island. Lace maker at next door shop. We then caught another bus back to the Centro station - and the Mercado Publico again. We crossed through an organized pro...

Egbert Brazilian Adventure: Rainy Thursday in Florianopolis
http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015/05/raainy-thursday-in-florianopolis.html
May 3, 2015. Rainy Thursday in Florianopolis. I checked the view from our window and found that it was raining, and had probably been raining most of the night. My plans to spend time out on the beach - and in the water - were being dashed. The only way to console myself is to have a yummy Brazilian breakfast. As we came into view of our hotel (Costa Norte Ingleses), we carved out our initials in the sand - only to see them shortly washed away. We then went back to our room and rested for a while - u...

Egbert Brazilian Adventure: February 2015
http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Feb 28, 2015. I think we got a little more sleep last night (no night camp watch assignment). It appeared that there had been no problems the previous nights, so the adults got to sleep. The morning walk to the lodge and restrooms found a herd of horses grazing on the lawn in front of the lodge - beautiful animals. Eventually they figured how to do 'the walk' usually with someone in front of the group saying. Direita, esquerda, direita, esquerda". We stationed ourselves at the cables taking photos of eac...

http://kandmegbert.blogspot.com/2015/05/last-missionary-dinner-shopping-dinner.html
May 24, 2015. Last Missionary Dinner, Shopping, Dinner. The missionaries had their District meeting this morning (the first one that we missed). Elders Oliveira and Sheridan thought they would be late arriving, while Elder Janickyj and? Would be arriving at noon. I planned dinner to be ready at 12:30 pm - and had a moment of panic when Elder Janickyj said they had an appointment at 1:00 pm Fortunately, after a phone call, they found that the appointment was cancelled. Elder Oliveira - no more. . . Later ...
