Sao Paulo Interlagos, Brazil Mission!

Well dear bloggy-blog. I figured this is as good a time as any to make a real post. I am going to Sao (with a little accent thing above the o but that's not happening any time soon) Paulo Brazil!

...

OH MY GOODNESS!

It hasn't really hit me yet. The experience is still very out-of-body as if i'm talking about some girl I know only THAT girl is ME. Brazil? BRAZIL? I thought for sure I was staying in the red, white and blue speaking la english but alas my Heavenly Father had a vastly different plan for me. But what's new right?

I thought this mission thing would be hard of course, I mean that's the whole point right? I get it. But speaking Portuguese?! No my friend, that is a horse of an entirely different color. I mean i'm a strong girl, I thought "sure it will be hard but I can do it", now i'm not so sure (as if I have a choice).

So there you have it; I am just beyond grateful for amazing friends, roommates and family members who support me and went well out of their way to make this moment special for me. It was oh so special!

So i'll let this sink in.... gee whiz! Brazil? (ya I keep saying that) Someone needs to pinch me.
