I'm setting up this blog to record my adventures in Brazil, similar to the one I had last year when I went to France. However, I doubt this one will have as much detailing because I'm blogging from a phone this time instead of a laptop.
I leave in four days. I'm going down to visit my friend and old mission companion Felipe Ribeiro. He and his family live in Belo Horizonte which is about a six hour drive north of Rio de Janeiro.
I'm excited to see Brazil, and also to learn Portuguese. I've been studying almost a year to be ready to speak with Brazilians in their language. Unlike any of the other languages I've learned, l haven't ever taken a class for Portuguese. In fact I didn't spend any money trying to learn it. I leaned a lot on my knowledge of Spanish and French, and then practiced using apps, websites, the library and friends. I'm a little nervous immersing myself in Portuguese already, but I feel I can handle it. I guess we'll see.
Feel free to follow my blog as I go forward from here.
