The Last Supper (heh)

The district conference was great. Everyone´s portuguese has improved of the past 4 weeks. Both of the GSE teams gave a presentation and both went well.

We had our last full day in Paraná today. I´m not sure what the other´s did today, but I spent the day at my families coffee farm. It seems as if everybody here has a coffee farm. I guess that wuold explain why everyone has such great coffee :) . We had churrasco (portuguese for barbeque). Its very similar to ours but at teh same time, completely different and I must sy totally yummy.

We had our last dinner at a pizza place tonight. The waiters walk around with all types of pizzas and they ask if you want a pieice. You never have to get up and you eat entirely too much. IT was wonderful. Many of our families from the other cities came. I was very happy to see them. I´m going to miss everybody I´ve met here. All of the people here in Paraná have been wonderful to us. We couldn´t have found a more welcoming place to visit. Everyone wants us to come back and visit again. I hope that I can because I truly feel what I said at the Rotary district conference. We haven´t found friends her. We´ve found family. The people here are as much my family nw as the people I grew up with back in the states. I now have many mothers and sisters and fathers and brothers.
