Still waiting...

Hey everybody!

Curt and I are doing well. We STILL don´t have internet or phone in our apartment which is really annoying, so that´s why we haven´t really called anybody or emailed, blogged, etc. We are hoping to get the internet sometime this week or next. We were planning on having the internet as soon as we got here but the company is either taking forever to process our request or the guy who has a Brazilian social security number we´re supposed to use is a slacker.

Well our apartment it about 2 blocks away from the beach it is so close we can walk to the beach in like 3 minutes. Right now it´s high tide so the waves are huge!!! Yesterday when we were driving to Santos there were suffers on the waves, but it scared Curt and I because the waves splashed up onto the sidewalk so hopefully the suffers jumped off their boards before they crashed into the street.

Well, I wanted to tell everybody that I miscarried. Which is really sad, Curt and I didn´t know what was going on with my body so we went to the hospital and while I was getting ready to be checked out by the o.b. I misscarried. We went the best o.b. doctor in the world and he has been so helpfull and explained everything to Curt so well. I can´t tell what he´s saying, but he is so sweet. He checked everything out yesterday and he said everything is going well with the healing process of the miscarriage. I feel so blessed to have good health, and recovery. Curt gave me a really sweet blessing telling me everything would be alright with my body, so don´t worry!!!!

I feel the Lord´s hand in Curt and my life here in Brazil. We know it´s the right place for Curt and I to be right now! I love the people of Brazil, they´re so happy and giving!!! I don´t want to come back to Utah now!!!

I am understanding a little bit of Portuguese now, and speaking a little. It´s a completely different language so I feel crazy at moments trying to figure out what to say, and what people are saying to me!!! I just want to be able to speak the language, but Curt and I are studying Portuguese together for about an hour a day and then I study on my own. It´s fun learning a language, and the best part of it is when something clicks in your mind and you know a word or can understand what people are saying1 It awesome! Curt is being so patient with me as I´m trying to learn! He´s so awesome!

Hey Becky-mom, I forgot to tell you when I was talking to you on Saturday that my hands feel amazingly soft! I will take a picture and send it on the blog! Oh, my hands feel and look 10 years younger! Nick, Lida, and Kyra you all need to move down here to Brazil! You´re skin will love you down here!!!

Well... I hope all is well with everybody! I´m going to check your bloggs to see what all of you guys are up too!!! Love you all lots! Hope all of you guys post a ton while we are gone so we don´t miss too much of your lives and I will post as soon as we get internet in our apartment. It´s too risky to bring the camera here, somebody may see the camera and try to steal it!
