Somos Brasileiros Já

So time flies when you're having fun, right? I seriously can't believe that it has already been three and a half weeks! I am sad. I don't want to go home. With every day that passes, we're one day closer to being back in Provo. But, life goes on.

So me and Garrison taught our first workshop together last week in a town called Pelotas that is south of here. It was pretty fun. I was a little sad though because they weren't quite as excited about the workshop as the last group I taught. They were really shy and kind of didn't pay much attention. But whatever, each group is sure to be different than the other. Maybe they didn't like Garrison...hehe

This week, we are teaching a workshop in a town very close to here, so we will just go teach and come home each night. Out of the 10 workshops that we will teach here, 7 are far away. The trips have been really fun. It is so fun to see the beautiful landscapes. I was so used to the Amazon Rainforest, that it almost seems weird to see fields and crops and farms and trees and lakes. It is very cool in southern Brazil. But I think I still like the Amazon better...

Me and Garrison have quite a few friends down here that have been good to include us and take us places. Garrison went to the beach with some of his friends. I have played in some volleyball tournaments down here, and I even went to a Brazilian movie theater for the first time. That was actually really fun. We saw Season of the Witch with Nicolas Cage which was really stupid but the theater was sweet. I had a good time. College students here get in to movies for half price if they have a college ID card. My friend was like, "show them your BYU card." I figured they wouldn't let it slide, but after looking at it for a few moments, he was like, "I guess this works." So I got in for half price...about 4 bucks for a Friday night movie. I will definitely be doing that more often.

We sure like hearing updates from everyone. Our internet isn't that great, but if you guys ever want to skype us, we would love to chat. Oh and my older sister just called me yesterday to tell me that she is pregnant with twins! So that is pretty sweet. Alright, see you later.

So here are some actions of us teaching
This is our assistant manager and his family and some of their friends. They invited us over for dinner the other night.
