Here’s an image I’ve been using in class recently, to instruct a bit about the variance within English.  I am proud to be a member of the “yellow team.”  What an interesting nation we are. Just for clarification: Blue=Pop Red=Coke Yellow=Soda Green=Other And here’s to you, America, on this your flag day (and thank you…

Expect to see me looking like this soon, except female and hopefully a little better looking.  Yesterday I was bit by an evil ant.  I felt a “bee sting like” pain in my arm and when I looked down there was this giant, vicious creature with its fangs lodged deep in my flesh.  When I…

Well, it’s time to admit that although I do love it here (usually) my life is not all fun and games.  Ok, so here’s my honest side.  Wait, not that I’m not normally honest… better yet, here’s my transparent side.  Hm… maybe I’ll just be blunt.  I’m frustrated.  I hope this doesn’t turn into a…

I’m back in Brasilia now, but it never hurts to keep highlighting moments from my trip to Chile.

So here I am in Chile until Friday.  I’ve been here for a week already (and haven’t updated, I know).  Susan and I flew in on Sunday to Santiago and spent the afternoon exploring the town with Christian, her step-son (who has the most adorable Australian accent, as does her step-daughter, Estefania).  Monday Susan had…

The day began like any other… giving cheesy smiles to Susan as we walked out the door for work.  But last Friday was not any other day… instead it was the ominous filming day!  Hours of translation had led to this moment… filming a script in English.  But I couldn’t go looking like this!  (or…

Quick update.. I know I haven’t posted pictures of the filming.  But I have some… somewhere.  Until then… I’m in Chile, and it’s cold.  I’ll be here visiting with Susan until June 4.  YAY!  And yes, I have pictures of this too as well as observations.  But for now I’m working.  Soon though… soon…  Until…

I’m in a rush; I fear this will be short.  Enjoy the condensed version of an otherwise drawn out tale. For Mother’s Day, the Division went on a boat ride around the lake.  It was nice.   I looked pretty fly gettin’ on the boat. We played spelling games.  Needless to say… not my forte…

 So yesterday was Impacto Esperança here in South America.  Basically it was the one day where (supposedly) ever Adventist in the Division went to the streets to distribute magazines and books about the importance of Sabbath rest.  Here at the Division we piled into busses and headed off to Sao Joao de Aliança to reach,…

  For those of you that may worry about me from time to time down here in my South American “jungle”… have no fear.  I’m well taken care of, and have yet to lack in love.  Here are those closest to me.
