Today is Father's Day here in Brazil and this morning I went to church with the Borbosas (my host family). Wow, no one here can be tone deaf. It is absolutely impossible. I mean for the 20 minutes that they sang it was as if I was in a cathedral filled with hundreds of people, but instead it was about fifteen max-impecable to say the least. After, we had lunch here and the house we ate and drank and played cards! (Such a wonderful universail game!) I am swiftly becomeing the "best" playing at the game HOLE (a rough translationg, but that's the jist of it).
I am finally beginning to settle into life here in Vitoria. I am slowing finding my placeby being patient, always smiling, and doing my best to understand Portuguese. It is said to be one of the most difficult languages to learn.
Tomorrow starts my official teaching lessons. wish me luck and thanks to those who have commented! I do read them!
Love always
About Me
- Shinay
- "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." Goethe
