Cute Little Parrots
So, I love this point of teaching when as a teacher you are faced with all the words you repeat too often. And the only way I ever notice this is when my basic students start using the funniest words and I think, “where did they pick that up?!” So I find them praising eachother…
Too lazy to write
I know I will post more about my weekend trip to Campos dos Goytacazes. But until then, this was my favorite part. Filipe, your brothers rock. Fawn, you have the coolest brothers-in-law. I wish mine was this cool… oh wait. I love you Filipe!
Mommy Moment
There are brief moments that would just be better with my mommy. For example: –When I embarrass myself in a Mexican restaurant because I was accidentally staring at the cute waiter the whole time. I know my mom would have embarrassed me more and taken a picture with him. –When I pull out my camera…
Hello Radio World
Clear your calendars my dear family and friends. Check out LifeTalk Radio at 2-3pm ET to tune into Steve Gallimore Live this Friday, September 17th. I’ll be giving an interview regarding the trapped Chilean miners and the work the Adventist church is doing in relation to the situation. As I mentioned earlier, I had the…
Not a Toys-R-Us Kid

Love Story of the Century
There are moments I wonder how my own love story will come about. And yes, I’ll admit, sometimes when I meet a new guy in an entertaining way (such as accidentally telling him I wasn’t wearing underwear. I mixed up the Portuguese words for underwear and socks. That didn’t turn out well) I sit back…
Education and Sympathy
No, this time I’m not begging for sympathy, but rather giving it freely. We’re restructuring my English classes now that there has been a shift in administration in order to keep excuses to a minimum. “Traffic, meetings, hungry kids at home, grocery shopping” were all getting in the way of learning, yet, we failed (previously)…
I can brag too!
Mom and Dad, So the other day I became an expert in the chemical structure of the peach growing soil (or something along those lines), and on how to write a dissertation regarding it. There was someone who is writing their agronomy doctoral dissertation (in English) who needed a revision of their work to send…
