Look What We Found at the USMMA...

On Monday evening we arrived a bit early to the Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY for our Institute class. I began setting up for our New Testament class and Elder de Paula went into an adjacent room to pick up some LDS hymn books - a task the students usually do.

He came back with a few hymnbooks and the words - "Come and see what I found!" I followed him and found myself standing in front of this painting of the "Bay of Rio de Janeiro" painted in 1947. What a surprise!

We love Rio and have fond memories of our time in Brazil. How it ended up in a non-denominational chapel on Long Island New York is a real mystery. We'll have to find out.
