Who Knew?!

This city is just full of surprises.
 Yesterday we had to go to the mission office to pick up our passports. (That's not the surprising part.)
President Hart is the mission president for the Brazil Curitiba Mission.


The surprising part is this little gem across the street from the Brazil Curitiba South Mission office. 
There's this small triangular park dedicated to the Prophet Joseph Smith. I'm not sure what the story is behind it but someone had a great idea - and made it happen! One side of the "monument" says:
“The prophet who received and translated the history of the people that inhabited this continent between 600 BC and 400 AD.”
Another side quotes John 10:16 about one fold and one shepherd.     The last side says Brazil is a blessed land and quotes Ether 2:12 saying that the land will be free if the people serve Christ.
(Praça recanto means square alcove)
I know - who knew?!

And since we were already downtown and near the IMAX we decided to take in a movie.
Rogue One
May the 'força esteja com você!'
Just so ya know, when going to movies in Curitiba,you want "Legendado" not "Dublado" in order to get the ones in English with subtitles. BTY - we did.
