An amazing American meal. We're having Thanksgiving tonight. I gotta show you.
I have mashed potatoes, green beans, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce,
mac and cheese, all smothered with gravy.
This is a legit Thanksgiving meal and it is awesome. Super stoked.
We are an American family of seven living working and loving Brazil.
Welcome to the adventures of Our Brazilian Life.
That's what Thanksgiving is to me as being with friends and you know we talk
about but we're thankful for what we're grateful for our blessings and when it
comes to blessings you know it's nothing material we're all very blessed in
material ways and our health I think the biggest thing is that we live in this
marvelous country and many of us have ties to spouses like Nelson many of us
here have Brazilian spouses and that we've been so warmly received and
welcomed in this this country and this culture but that's one of the things I
feel most blessed about.
Okay what are you grateful for? We've been in Brazil for just over a year now
and I am grateful for this experience that we've had in Brazil. We've had a lot
of good things happen to us and this is a wonderful, beautiful, cultural, historic
country and I'm grateful for the whole time that we've been here in Brazil. Yes
it's been amazing so it's been a year this time last year we had just arrived.
We'd been here for a month and we were still kind of in shock a little bit.
We didn't have a car. We didn't have an oven. We didn't have a business and we
were just figuring out how to survive and now a year later I really
feel settled in. I feel at ease. I feel comfortable, confident, growing in the
language and making friends. We've got our business and that's doing really
well. We've had time to go on adventures and see some of Bahia and some of Brazil.
For me, I'm grateful for the things I didn't have before we came which was the
ocean. It's so beautiful and vast and inspiring and inspiring. It's so beautiful to go
play in the waves and that's amazing. I'm grateful for adventure. I'm grateful that
we did this and that we came this far and that we are achieving our goals. We
opened our business and we're having fun. I'm grateful for Brazilians. They're
great! They've welcomed us very well but most importantly I'm grateful for my
family. They've been so resilient. The kids are just as adventurous as we are
and they've adapted very well. They're curious and they're learning and
growing so much in Brazil and that's been so exciting to see to watch them
learn Portuguese and speak fluently with their friends is beautiful so we
love Brazil we're grateful to be here. We're grateful to be spending our
second Thanksgiving here in Bahia with some amazing friends and we're very
lucky. We've had a great year. Yes.
Happy Thanksgiving. Maisa, what are you grateful for?
I'm gateful for the world and I'm grateful to have a family.
