Here we are in front of the lane full of food and heading home
I could not resist taking this picture of the lane leading away from the home.
We had sausage, chicken, stake, and ribs. The two older men are brazilians serving in one of the branches at the MTC the two young men are BYU exchange students living with President Yamagochi (spelling is off but grandpa/Vern is taking a nap) in Brazil as foreign exchange students.
Everyone brought salads, desserts, or drinks.
This is the back yard of the home and where everyone parked
This is what you see when you look over the deck on the roof of his home
These two Brazilian brothers are branch presidents at the MTC. This is the home of the one in the white T-shirt. He just resently traded his apartment in the city for this country home. Actually it is more like a jungle home. The party was held on the roof. We had rain most of the day but it was delightful never the less. We were a little worry that we would not be able to make it up the hill with all the rain. But everyone made it home safely with just a lot of mud on all of the cars Sunday morning in the MTC parking lot.
The whole month of June the people in Brazil have what they call a Hill-billy celebration.
They have dancing and singing and eating. They dress up in silly hats. The men roll of their jeans and paint wiskers on their chins. The women traditionally wear floral print dresses, put their hair in pig tails and wear colorful ankle socks. This was the first june celegration for many of us so we were not sure what to wear.
