Hi everyone,
I have had some good language experiences this week. I met a lady and her 3 daughters at the park. We talked about volleyball and what I am doing in Brazil. (mainly because that is all I know how to say lol) The girls were playing volleyball in the park, so that part was easy. I am going out with a girl from my college dorm who is not associated with the language or my new church today. I pray that I build a new friend and an opportunity to be a witness. Also, we went downtown the other day and it was fun to see how shopping works around here. I will tell you for those people who live in my town, it was like DC. I also went to get my new favorite dessert acai with bananas with a new friend named Pati. (pronounced Pah chi) Her family and I spoke Portuguese for 2 hours. I found out that is my max right now in Portuguese.
I also went to the Federal Police yesterday. I am official and I have my protcol or id number. Hey, I got my fingerprints done again. I wonder if they will be able to read them? lol. (for those of you who don't know it takes me like a billion times for the police to get prints that are readable)
Finally, I am going to a new town next week to see their main hub for flowers. This city was colonized by the Dutch and they have some beautiful flowers. I can't wait. I think it will be on Thursday or maybe Wednesday.
Please pray that I will have an ear for the language. This is what I am struggling the most with right now. I can already read some Portuguese and I am pronouncing Portuguese well too.
Also, that I will continue to build relationships here.
Tchau,
Nova
I am so jealous that you get to go see the flowers, I hope you can take your camera. I might get some of that juice and put it in my icecream freazer and see if I can make that frozen dessert. lol
