So it´s been about two weeks in Brasil now, and boy-oh-boy it´s been a time. A good time, of course, but there have been some things to get used to. Like the language, for example. Fun fact: the people in Brasil speak Portuguese (also the keyboards are slightly different so please forgive any weird punctuation). And not only do they speak Portuguese, but they speak it quickly and about lots of different things using about a billion different words and the´re strung so tightly together that by the time you remember what the first word means they've finished the sentence. I've definitely been learning, though, and now I sometimes actually understand the gist of what people are saying. I have learned some new phrases, though. If you are ever invited to lunch in Brasil, try some of these phrases: Eu não estou com muito fome ~ I am starving* Apenas um poco mais ~ Pile it on, please Desculpa, estou cheia! ~ I haven´t eaten in a week, please give me more food Se eu como um outro
Hey y'all! This is Hannah Hiatt, and I'll be serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Brazil São Paulo South Mission for the next eighteen months. I report to the Provo MTC (*cough cough* darn slow visa) on November 7th (that's tomorrow!), and I'm super excited. This blog is where I'll post pictures and stories of my adventures.
