Hello Everyone! Today is Monday, the start of our second week here in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. We have been bombarded with many new and exciting sights, sounds, foods, and people. Our first week here has flown by and we are still alive. :) Haha, just kidding....but really, we are alive. We are picking up on many well used Portuguese phrases very quickly. I can now say "Thank you," "Please," "Good morning," "How are you?" and "All is well." The language is similar to Spanish so that is also helping.
Our first encounter with the people of the church was very good. We were accepted with open arms and many kisses to our cheeks. We are treated with such kindness and care that it has brought me to tears a time or two, because of the sincerity of their actions. I have never felt so much love from people I hardly know. This is truly a special group of people. Every hello and goodbye is done with a hug and kiss on the cheek.
That is all I have for now. I need to do a reading session. See you later!
