So it has come down to this…
i get better internet connection in Brasil than in Indy. that is being said as my excuse for very poor correspondence with the world the past two months. shall do better (new year´s wish).
i realize how much i miss people after i see them again. i am messed up like that.
January is the month of the beach in Brasil. Everyone seems to be there, and giving me invitations to come. unfortunately, i just got back from the beach, and had my usual talent for frying within the first 20 minutes. so i am hiding indoors for a bit with a bottle of aloe.
Is it a matter of letting more of Jesus in or learning how to let Him out?
i want to live in Brasil just because i do.
the man marked my visa paper thingy with “30 days.” i nicely explained to him that my visa said 90 days. he clicked a couple more buttons and said the computer said 30 days. i imploringly said “90 days per year–right on that line it says…” he said i had been in the country already. i said it was a new year…January 1st. he said the past counted. i wanted to cry. he gave me the number of the police and said i could talk to them about staying longer. i was deflated.
please pray about that. 30 days is not enough. i don’t have my return ticket yet, but was not planning on buying it until closer to May. that is alot after 30 days.
