2012

This year, I spent New Years with the Buzellis.  It was cool.  In Brazil basically everyone shoots off fireworks.  Since the houses are much closer together, there are basically fireworks going off all around.  It was pretty cool.  Another tradition is people wear close based on what they want the next year to bring.  The majority wear white, for peace.  Most single ladies wear pink.  I did not know that white ment peace, or I would have chosen another color.  That comes from some experiences here as a missionary.  We would enter people homes and ask them if there was something they wanted us to ask for in our prayer. Nearly everyone would ask the same thing, for peace and health.  Thinking about it makes me laugh for some reason and always irritated me that everyone would say the same thing.  When I found out that I was wearing the color for peace, I thought it was pretty ironic.  I bet everyone that is reading this will think that Im weird, but thats ok.  I just think its funny that everyone wants peace in their lives.  Maybe its because its so generic, but whatever.  Maybe other return missionaries from Brazil will understand what Im saying.

I spent few days of the New Year sick.  Nothing bad, just tired, with a headache and loss of apetite.  I think it was something I ate.   Yesterday we went to Goiania to go to the mall and see a movie.  I also get in the pool everyday for a few hours, which I love, and have been relaxing a lot.  I also started looking for a job for when I come back to the US, and working on SEO and PPC marketing for the Accounting firm that Anderson owns.

Not too much going on.

Any thoughts on my hair?  I just dont feel like doing anything to it, so it stays like this a lot.
