One day while waiting at the bus stop on our way to church, a man asked us, "Do you speak English?" It turns out that not only was he from Brazil, but had even lived in one of the same neighborhoods where Myles served his mission.
They didn't know each other then. But, since then, he has joined the same church as us and came to Germany for a training for work. The funny thing is Myles couldn't speak Portuguese with him. They both decided maybe it was because we were supposed to help him learn German. (His company would like to move him and his family here in a couple years). He has gone back to Brazil, and we have since met another man from Brazil who has been living in Spain. We can talk to him in Spanish or Portuguese, and are trying to help him learn German, too. It has been so fun to feel at home with these Brazilians while living in Deutschland!
In the pic. is some of Myles' favorite Brazilian candy.
