Le cranque (Jaques Prevert)

Il dit non avec la têt

Mas il dit oui avec le cœur

Il dit oui à ce qu'il aime

Il dit non au professeur

Il est debout

On le questionne

Et tout les problèmes sont posés

Soudain le fou rire le prend

Et il efface tout

Les chiffres et les mots

Les dates et les noms

Les phrases et les pièges

Et malgré les menances du maître

Sous les huées des enfanta prodiges

Avec des craies de touts les couleurs

Sur le tableau noir malheur

Il dessine le visage du bonheur.

Major updates

Ok, so here I am, updating this blog once again. It had been a very long time (more than a year), but I will summarize it in a few pictures. From my time working in Montemorelos, I don't have any pictures (maybe because it was all the same routine!).


First of all, a little bit of my second trip to Brazil, this time to the state of Sao Paulo for a month.

I went back to Brazil in January 2010. This was a short visit to UNASP.

With my TESL trainers from England/Australia.

One of the lectures at the Music Festival @ UNASP.

And I had a chance to visit the Jewish-Adventist church in Campinas, SP.
Great church!

And I could not miss it, the Livraria Cultura in Sao Paulo.
I wanted to stay there the whole day!!

Back in Mexico, I retook my French lessons, this time at the Alianza Francesa Monterrey. I had great lessons and great teachers. And I also got the chance to pass the first DELF test. I still have a long way to go in French, but I'm happy I'm on the right track!

I went to a lecture given by Jack C. Richards, from Cambridge University Press. I even got him to sign a book for me!

A year later...

Changing the title (again)

I'm posting the old blog's title and description, just for the record.

Brazil Mission and more...

This time I write from Northeast Brazil. Here you will read about blessings and challenges of being a Missionary for Christ, as well as other adventures in Brazil.

This was the background picture of the previous blog title.

5 years old

My blog is 5 years old!

I started this blog when I was a freshman in Montemorelos. The title was Back to Normal, because it was during my frustration months in MM after Thailand. For three years, the title remained the same. In the summer of 2009 I changed it to My Adventures because I had a great summer! and was heading back to Thailand (Yeys!). Enough reasons to be more positive. Then in October 2010 I changed the title again to Brazil Mission and More... 

Back in October 2006, little I knew I was going to be in Thailand again in 2009, and then in Brazil in 2010. Looking at previous posts makes me want to say thank you LORD over and over again. His blessings in my life have been great! as well as the challenges and teachings from Him.

What's next? I do not know, but of what I am sure is that life is an adventure and it is greater if we live it with Christ!
