Tuesday.

I haven't much to say, but my English is better than ever. 

A Breakthrough

Monday, here we go.  This Monday there was actually a breakthrough.  Rodrigo got a job… Finally.  This has been a long process.  He unfortunately got into the job market and realized that he was going to have to change his profession.   I am so excited for him as he is going to be a salesman for the Cable company here in Brasil.  We have it and it is the fastest way to get Cable, Internet & phone.  We had a choice when we got here; it was either slow and old or new and fast.  When I say slow… it was unbelievable.   I also got a new student and some other good news about my career.  Finally, I am feeling like we will be able to one day get a kitchen table. 

Festa Junina BBQ

On spur of the moment we decided to have a BBQ.  It was so much fun and a lot of people showed up.

Here's To You, A Great Man!

One of the Best Men I have ever met passed away yesterday.  I am here now in Brasil and missing home so much.  I am longing to be with my family but I can’t go.  I just want to go to bed, but the world doesn’t stop.  The rest of us keep going.  My Uncles life makes me think a lot about my life.  How I want to live, how I want to die.  I think those who watched him slowly pass away over the last couple of months know that the spirit world was eventually his true peace.   I have never lost someone so close; he was like a father to me.     I think beyond the strength of his character and his ability to enjoy life, what I remember most is how much he loved his kids. 

I can say now that I am not scared to die.  I am not scared of where I am going, especially not now.  Because I know he will be there waiting for us all. I am so thankful to have known such a person who was able to make such an impact on my life.  In death and in Life, you are great.
