Prayer Requests and Praises
Greetings from Brazil!
I just wanted to give you a few prayer requests and praises for the next few days.
Praises:Moving into the apartment at the church went really smoothly. I have a lot of space, and I feel really safe. I think I have a minor allergy to something in there, but it hasn't bothered me too much so far. I've made a lot of friends and a few of us went downtown last night for dinner, which was really fun, especially when I could follow what everyone was saying. I dreamt in Portuguese for the first time last night! Woo-hoo!!
Prayer Requests:
I have my first out-of-town trip today! A few of us are going to Sao Paulo today. I'm not totally sure what we are doing there, but they told me to bring my Bible. Pray for safety, both driving and while there in the city. It's the 3rd largest city in the world and I've heard it's really exciting! Also, please continue to pray for my Portuguese. It's getting better, but there's still a long way to go. Yesterday, I gave a tuba lesson and my lack of tuba knowlege combined with my lack of Portuguese knowledge left me feeling like my hands were tied behind my back. I'm not getting overwhealmingly frustrated or anything, but I just wish I could help some more.
Oh, yeah, by the way, anyone is welcome to shoot me an e-mail at joywilson @umiami.edu. I'd love to talk!
Hopefully some more pics will come later today or tomorrow!
