We are all looking forward to experiencing BRAZIL during UNO's "Brazil Day" on Tuesday, 1/29. 
However, we also just saw in the news about the terrible fire in Santa Maria in which many people lost their lives. Voice of America reported that at least 230 lost their lives Sunday morning in a fire at a club. 
We want all of our Brazilian friends to know that our hearts are with you. When your country experiences a lost, it affects everyone. We are so sorry to hear this news. 
We love Brazil now more than ever because we've gotten to know each of you.

Is more better?
More chocolate is better. More time is better.
But more bills is bad. More snow can be bad unless you like to snow ski.
Today is our first day of Service-Learning! This session we'll have four instructors and maybe about 50 students all together! wow.....We have many more people than any other session so far.
How will we be able to work together? Will we all get along?
But wait......
More people means more relationships, more service, more new friends, and more learning.
I like more!
