Day Sixty-five

It was an absolutely beautiful day, all day today! This morning was a little chilly, but that sun was shining SO bright! I am thanking God for such beautiful weather, and I am enjoying it for the next couple of days before it rains some more! Brasil is just sad to see me go, that's why it's raining so much! ;) Down to 6 days now, it's so crazy..I just keep thinking and looking back at old blogs at my first week, I feel like it was just yesterday that I was enjoying Sao Paulo with my girls! And now it's time to say my good-byes! It has been everything I imagined it to be and so much more! Today, was a day of good plans but there were car troubles so we charged the battery up and drove a different car back to Li's we had planned to go to the Botanical Gardens but there were far too many people there, none of us really wanted to go there today. We will go there on Tuesday when there is more sunshine! I say everything happens for a reason, why be disappointed if I know God had that planned way before we got into that car. Why be discouraged when God was problly saving us from something that could possibly be more tragic. I told Tiago, it could be worse! And it's so true..especially from the news and what happened in CO..I just keep thinking how much I take for granted and how much I should just smile, enjoy, and know that God is in control (rambling..sorry!). Anyways, when we got the car stuff figured out, I decided we needed an updated elevator picture, so we took that before going to have some famous HOT DOGS! This is going to sound gross to all of you Americans until you actually try it. Hot dogs cooked in tomato sauce, with mayonnaise on the bun, then put the hot dog, ketchup and mustard on top of that and the perfect topping is canned corn. The perfect combinations. If your a picky eater, of course you won't like it. But if you are willing to try new things then try this! So delicious, one of my favorite snacks ever! Gabi and Carol came over too to eat some hot dogs and hang out for a while. It was a good night! Great company to be with while I am here. Even though we had car problems today, it was still a great day! OH and I forgot to mention, the cute little chubby baby (he's 6 moths old) in my picture, he kept me entertained today in church service, and his 3 year old brother with the blue marker all over his hands, face, and clothes! Yep, great sunday ;) More to post soon!!

Beijos

Tchau
