I Spy with Elder Takis's Eye

The following photos taken by Elder Takis show he hasn't lost his appreciation for nature and beauty, or his artistic perspective.

Some things are the same wherever you go, and some things are different.  Here are some things he's never seen before.

I identified this spider for him.  It's a Dysdera crotata, more commonly called
a "roly-poly hunter." Since missionaries are not pill bugs, he and I can both
sleep better at night now.

"These are some weird things that grow underneath the stairs to the basement!
 There is some bug that makes them...or so we think!
Sister M saw some big bug thing go underneath her stairs and that's what we think causes them!
They are really weird, they are kind of waxy! We aren't sure what they are?"
