an opened door.

Things are starting to roll here.  I told Bud that I am interested in studying English in college to perhaps be a teacher.  So this opened the door to me being able to teach English here at the school.  I had a little "interview" yesterday with a woman in the school in charge of organizing schedules and whatnot.  I will officially be helping out other teachers on Mondays and Tuesdays in the evenings to the under privileged Portuguese speakers.  Last night was the first official night and I loved it.  The people are so interested in learning English and how to speak in English.  We have many laughs because of the way they pronounce words, and because they are not the only ones learning... I am also learning to speak their language.  So I listen to every word they say very carefully and often repeat what they say so I can get the pronunciation down.  Its a fun time.  As time goes on, maybe I will have my own class... but I would like to know Portuguese a little better before that happens so I can translate for them when needed.

I'm so excited about this!  Who at 19 can say they have experience in teaching English to foreign people who speak Portuguese??  I can.  Thanks God.  Your pretty cool :)
