Good things come to those who break beyond the circle of comfort. Meaning, Saturday I walked down to the store to go buy some juice (and some cheap, cute flip flops...did I mention I LOVE that I can wear flip flops every day?) and coming home, I saw my neighbor, whom I've never really talked to. So I decided to say hi. We struck up a conversation trudging up the hill to our street. She asked about life back in the states, how cold it was there now, if I missed it, if I liked Brazil, what I did for work in the States, what I went to school for, and I was telling her how much I was missing working. It was nice to talk to her and she is really sweet. It is always nice to meet people who aren't afraid to try and talk to me (so many people talk around me instead of to me...which I understand, it's just frustrating).
So today I am sitting down, eating lunch with minha sogra (my mother in law) when she tells me she has noticias boa (good news)for me! Turns out Joni (the neighbor I talked to) talked to a guy she knows (at the company she works for I think) that speaks English really well. And he wants to talk to me tomorrow about coming to work for them! I am SO excited. I wish I had more details, however, sometimes it's difficult for me to follow exactly what my mother in law says. So I will have more details tonight when Sidnei comes home. But I got the gist of it and I am so excited!! So good things come to those who talk! Not only that, but I just thought it was really nice that she would go out of her way to try and help me find work. No matter where you go, there are always good people to help you find your way.
So why am I telling you all this since I have no concrete details? I'm hoping you will say a little prayer for me, that all this will work out, that it is a good opportunity for me, and that I will soon become one of the employed! So send up prayers, keep your fingers crossed, and send me good employed vibes across our 6,000 miles! Much love to you all and have a good week!

Good news Stephanie!
Thanks for sharing your story! I am impressed. It is hard to go outside our comfort zones. You stepped out and look how the Lord blesses you! I will be praying for you! I always do anyway, but this is a special purpose that I will certainly call upon the Lord for his help. Even if this doesn't work out to be what you think, at least you have had a valuable lesson which will give you strength to have courage to speak out and see what might happen! I guess Networking is always the best strategy for gaining information!! We love you and miss you much! I know you will present yourself well when you meet the interviewer. You are nothing but IMPRESSIVE!!
