- Ed RiveraUgh!! Can you get out of the house and walk around? Or is it in a closed in area? That must be boring! But just 2 more days!I came to the airport with my parents to drop off my little brother. He's going to a missions trip in Honduras.
- Marybeth SattlerWe ended up going over to there new house just now for about 45 minutes and the boys played a little soccer on a little field they had there.Sounds like a good experience for your brother. What will he do there?

- Ed RiveraHaha! Are you gonna get thru the whole season before you leave?My brother should be in college. But he was working this year and got laid off a few weeks ago.
- Marybeth SattlerWe watched 2 "seasons" ( but I'm not really sure they are seasons), and now we are starting the 3rd, but it keeps stopping...I guess it isn't working so wellThat's too bad that your brother got laid off...but its good he can take this trip to make good use of his time off
- Ed RiveraYeah it's good he was able to do this while he's off.So tonight I came to my uncle's. His birthday is on New Year's and every year he makes a huge tub of shrimp cocktail and invites a ton of people.
- Marybeth SattlerOh wow, so a big party huh? You still there? Sounds fun

- January 2
- Ed RiveraWhat would you like to eat from the U.S. that I can take with me on the plane? I'm gonna make a quick stop at the grocery store while I'm in Houston. I'll take u something so we can eat tomorrow... Or if it's non-perishable u can keep it for whenever u like.
- Marybeth SattlerOoo I didn't think about that hmmm...Let me thinkAnyway i am sitting here at the airport with no internet and they do not know when our plane will arrive...then we are going to stop in Belem to pick up more people... they even said something about staying here tonight
- Ed RiveraWow really?? Is it because the plane is delayed?
- Marybeth SattlerI really really hope that isnt true, but i definitely wont arrive until sometime tomorrow ...hopefully in the early morningComing here we left at 4 am and arrived at 7 pmWho knowsThere is no plane here, and evidently only one is comingI guess all the people here are going on the same plannePlane
- Ed RiveraWow that's crazy!
- Marybeth SattlerThen some people will get off in belem and others will get on...then other people get connections in sao pauloYa i thought so tooIt is a super tiny airport
- Ed RiveraFrom Belem it goes to São Paulo? Or do you still have another stop?
- Marybeth SattlerWell i think we go straight to sao paulo...but sometimes things change...i really hope so
- Ed RiveraSounds like a frustrating journey! But it is a really remote area!
- Marybeth SattlerDo u think cheddar cheese would make it on a plane?Ha rigt...what can you expect in the jungle?Right
- Ed RiveraYeah I think it can... I was thinking of taking some cheddar for you
- Marybeth SattlerWahoo! Perfect!Are you in Houston now?

- Ed RiveraI'll be leaving my house in about 20 min.
- January 4
- Marybeth SattlerHey, so I have your hot sauce here. I'll bring it in the morning. Should it go in the fridge? I didn't see anything on the label, but I put it in there just in case.Thanks for coming over tonight. I'm so glad you are back.I just reread what you wrote in the journal and I just wanted to say thank you so much. You are in my last journal quite a bit and I look forward to writing more in this one.I just noticed that it has verses on each page too not to mention the cool travel theme and bookmark...great find! I love it and the wrapping makes me smile. Thank you so very much.
- January 4
- Ed RiveraHey! I'm glad I'm back to and so glad I could spend the evening with you. Glad you liked the journalThanks for finding the hot sauce. I only put it in the fridge after I've used it the first time. But it's still new.
- Ed RiveraOoh and I tried zapping mosquitoes and it is a lot of fun! Thanks for the gift!
- January 5
- Ed RiveraHey How's your day going?Do you want to eat at Golden Grill? I found another place in the area but it's closed on Mondays.
- Marybeth SattlerHey, going well...super relaxing. We can go there, but it has been really cloudy all day here if you were thinking of a sunset. However, pizza is good with sun or clouds! So that is fine or I could meet closer to where you are or you could come over here.
- Ed RiveraRelaxing is good! Yeah it was really pouring here most of the afternoon so I wasn't expecting a sunset. That was just the only place I could think of in the area. I don't mind going over there... January rush hour shouldn't be as bad on the metro
- Marybeth SattlerHaha, true...wouldn't want you to get squished again...that sounded terrible.
- January 6
- Marybeth SattlerHey, we are done.
- Ed RiveraHey can u call me on my Brazilian phone?94106-7520
- Ed RiveraSo I just found out that moths don't die with the electric fly swatter... It does injure them, but it takes two or 3 hits to kill them. Anyway... I'm having fun with it haha!Ok... Good night! Can't wait to see you tomorrow
- Marybeth SattlerHaha, strong moths huh? I wonder if it would kill cockroaches...tonight I went to get the car keys and I saw one of the biggest cockroaches yet...its antenna were more than 2 inches long I think...gross! I think the cockroach would ruin the racket with its guts everywhere. Anyway, glad you are having fun with the racket.
- Marybeth SattlerSo, good news and bad news...I found your key!! It was in the car between the seat and emergency break. The bad news is I cannot find my house key! I was going to go up to the guards and I could not find it. I was like umm...I am locked in my own house! Then I remembered we have a spare key, but I cannot find mine anywhere! I know it is in here somewhere, but I have no idea where else to look.
- Marybeth SattlerHave a good night...see you tomorrow!
- January 7
- Ed RiveraGood morning... So I woke up around an hour ago because I couldn't sleep:( I've been sleeping with the doors closed to avoid mosquitoes but it was so hot today so I opened it. In 30 min I've killed over a dozen and been bitten like 6 or 7 times! Ugh!! But I did kill a big one with the zapper! It was burnt to a crisp... I could even smell it burning! I definitely think the cockroach guts would be everywhere... gross!
- Ed RiveraThanks for finding my key!! And sorry for it getting you locked out! I guess if you find lost keys you have to lose some other keys lol Glad you were able to make it in your house!Ok... I'm gonna try and go back to sleep again. See you tomorrow!
- Ed RiveraOh and by the way... I had a super busy day at work today, but even then I could only think about you ALL day Im so glad you're my girlfriend! I like hearing everything you have to say. I love how you're passionate about God and life and try to live to the fullest. I enjoy every minute I spend with you... even if we're just sitting quietly in the car, or just eating together. See you tomorrow!
- January 7
- Marybeth SattlerGood morning, so I woke up early today too...but not quite as early as you! Glad you could kill some mosquitos. I never see them in my room or house, but I woke up with 5 or 6 bites on one foot! I love that you could smell the mosquito burning...it deserves it for being so annoying! So I actually did not get locked out of my house, but rather got locked in!! I went to the teacher's lounge yesterday afternoon to work on printing off some things for the game with the guards last night and then I came home and locked the door. I don't know what happened to the key after that. When I went to leave to go see the guards I could not get out! (This was before I found your key.) Anyway, finally I remembered the spare key and got out. Then I looked more last night and this morning and still cannot find it. I know it must be in here because I was locked in here. Anyway, hopefully it turns up. At least one of us can get in our house!
- Marybeth SattlerDid you end up sleeping well the rest of the night?I'm glad I'm your girlfriend too. See you this afternoon!
- January 7
- Marybeth SattlerI found my key!
- Ed RiveraAwesome!I kept waking up with the mosquitoes buzzing! I ended up shutting the door at around 4am then slept well after that.Pls remind me to buy some bug repellent!
- January 8
- Ed RiveraSo this is hanging out in my room...
- Marybeth Sattleryikes! That is huge
- Ed RiveraYup! And it's still there! It hasn't moved at all!
- Marybeth Sattlerhmm...it will come out when you go to bedwhat is that one horror movie with the moth man?silence of the lambs or somethingi cant remember ...its been a while
- Ed RiveraI don't think I watched that... But it does look kind of scary.I thought about zapping it but I thought it em was too big.It's as big as my hand!
- Marybeth Sattlereww ya if you zapped him there would be wings everywhere
- Ed RiveraYeah there would be... And it's body is huge! I don't think it would dieHow was ur day?
- Marybeth Sattlerughmy day was great...got some things done at home, slept in, and tonight went to dinner, movie and dessert with the girls...the andersons and another familyit was really great...i love hanging out with all of themdid you finish your reports?
- Ed RiveraThat's great! Was it the Hobbit?Umm... About my reports... I didn't get too far.
- Marybeth SattlerOh the Hobbit was good
- Ed RiveraTomorrow the people from London will be here so I won't be able to work on them. So Monday I'll really have to get cracking!
- Marybeth Sattlernot such a great day for report writing huh?yuck!
- Ed RiveraYeah... Only the best series ever!
- Ed RiveraYeah not really. Plus I had a few calls that interrupted me... And no coffee!
- Marybeth Sattlerahhh well they cannot expect you to work on the day starbucks is closed!that reminds me when we were at the movie tonight it stopped ...shortly after it started and all the lights came oni guess the power went out, but then they started it back upon the way there we saw 2 rainbows and then got stuck in a bad storm with lots of rain and lightning and hail that dented the car all overi felt really bad for raquel...she was getting nervous with the girls and the road started flooding a bitthe traffic was completely stopped so we just had to hang out there
- Ed RiveraWow! Really?? It rained here but that's about it! Crazy how the weather is different here from Interlagos. The other day I got soaked and you said it only drizzled.That's crazy! I bet Raquel was nervous! São Paulo streets are no fun to drive in in the rain... I can only imagine heavy rain and hail!
- Marybeth Sattlerya it changes so much all the time...i walked to raquel's and it was super hot and sunny and then a few minutes later it was super crazy weather
- Ed RiveraI called Starbucks in the afternoon. They said they were open but had no coffee
- Marybeth Sattleroh what did they have ? Just pao de quiejo or something? haok, i'm going to bed...have a good night!
- Ed RiveraYeah all the pao de quiejo you could eat! Yuck!Ok... Good night!Sweet dreams
- January 9
- Ed RiveraHey! How's your day? So today while I was with the people from London I suggested sushi for lunch. That way I could get my sushi fix when I wasn't with you
- January 10
- Ed RiveraHey so I really slept in today! I woke up at noon. Hadn't done that in a loong time.Do you have plans today? Want to do something?
- Marybeth SattlerHey, that is really nice every once and a while. I have been sleeping in a bit too...one of the best parts of vacation!
- Marybeth Sattlerso I talked with Prisca a little while ago about coming over for dinner tonight...do you want to come? She is going to talk with Glen and see if they want to come over or if it would be easier for me to go there since they have the kids. He is here at PACA right now. We'll probably play games or something.
- Marybeth Sattlerif we eat here i'll probably make lasagna...if we go there i have no idealasagna with no ham
- Ed RiveraOh yum! Lasagna with no ham! Sounds good!
- Marybeth Sattlerok i'll let you know the plan when she calls back
- Marybeth Sattlerok she said it would be easier if we go over there so they can put zoey to bed etc.if you want we can meet here and then go over
- Ed RiveraSounds good. What time should I go over?
- Marybeth Sattlerany time is fine...i think i will bake the lasagna there and prisca said to come over wheneveri can come get you at primavera too if you want
- Ed RiveraOk... I'm gonna wrap up what I'm working on and let you know when I'm on the metro.
- Marybeth Sattlerok that sounds good
- January 12
- Ed RiveraHi hope you hd a good day. How was your evening with the girls? My day was super busy and very long! I tried going grocery shopping but the power went out so I came to the padaria to eat.
- Marybeth SattlerHey! So we just got power back...wahoo! I had so much fun with the girls! We had a little devotional, played a couple games, decorated little cakes b/c two of the girls have birthday's around now, played hide and seek, and then we played "queen". They wanted me to be a mean queen so they were my personal servants etc. Ha it was quite nice! Although the house was quite a mess when the left. Anyway, we laughed a lot and had fun.
- Marybeth SattlerThen I was super bored tonight with no Internet or electricity, so I talked with one of the guards for a while and then I went home for dinner. Then it was dark so I went over and hung out with Prisca until Glen came home.Did you get your reports done?The London people are gone right?
- January 14
- Marybeth SattlerThanks for dinner tonight. I'm glad we got to meet up today, and the good night "kiss" was especially great tonight. Super way to end our little one month anniversary. Sleep welloops sorry about the cat...I know how much you love them...I was checking something out and it just sent...well hopefully it does not ruin your night
- January 14
- Ed RiveraI had a great evening... Up until you sent the cat. Haha jk I didn't see the cat til the morning. But it was a perfect evening for our one month anniversary
- Ed RiveraSo I got a brownie at Starbucks today... I wish it was one of the ones you made the other day insteadThis one takes like coffee... I like coffee but not in my brownie lol
- Marybeth Sattlerha...I always see those there and want one, but they all have espresso or doce de leite here in Brazil so I never get themsorry it was a bummerHey, what's the name of the app. you said you use for weather? My uncle keeps talking about the weather...several times a day so I figured I should get the most accurate statistics.
- Ed RiveraI don't know if they have an app... But if I'm checking a website I usually use accuweather.comThey actually do have an app. I just got it!
- Marybeth SattlerOh cool, thanks!
- Ed RiveraHow's your day?
- Marybeth SattlerOh its fine...my new roommate came. She seems nice but we only talked for a few minutes.Now I´m working on submitting my claims for insurance.How about you?
- Ed RiveraCool... Where's she from again?My day is good... Just plugging along at work.
- Marybeth SattlerSounds good...she is from Texas, but I think her family is from Taiwan? Or somewhere else I´m not sure.I don´t know if she was born in the US or not.
- Ed RiveraCool... Hope you all get along with 4 people living in the house now.
- Marybeth Sattlerya I think it will be fine.If I go to that house in Vila Mariana would you want to hang out on Saturday?
- Ed RiveraYup!
- Marybeth SattlerOk cool...I think I´ll go over there Friday night then.
- Ed RiveraUgh! These mosquitoes are literally sucking all my blood!!
- Marybeth Sattlerwoe!! that is crazy! Is that from one mosquito? It looks like you were attached by 10!
- Ed RiveraI got home and within 15 minutes I had 4 bites on my ankles and 2 on my neck!These things are gonna be the death of me! And they're not resistant to the Off anymore!But on the plus side... I just got back from the gym and I've worked myself back up to the same level since I stopped working out and running.
- Marybeth SattlerWow! They built up an immunity! They are super strong...crazy tropical mosquitos!Good job at the gym! I bet that feels good.I was happy this morning b/c I lost a little weight so I could call my Grandma again. But I worked out a lot this last week...now I can't get a tennis shoe on my foot so I can't really work out for a bit. I hope it heals fast!I'm a little nervous about the beach tomorrow b/c the one on my leg just randomly started bleeding tonight without being bumped or anything. I don't want it to get infected, but with this heat I doubt I will be able to stay out of the water!
- Ed RiveraYeah they have built up an immunity! I guess those mosquitoes eating proves that I'm not a vampire or something... Since you can never feel my heartbeat lolOuch! Be careful! Don't try to do too much working out before it heals. If you do go in it'll be salt water. Do you think it will sting? When do they take the stitches out?
- Marybeth Sattlerhaha...glad you aren't a vampire!I just thought of the salt water tonight...hmmm maybe I still won't be going in the water.They take the stitches out next Tuesday.so my new roommate seems really great
- Marybeth Sattlergood night
- January 15
- Ed RiveraGood morning:)Glad you like your new roommate. And yeah think about your foot before getting in the water. Have fun at the beach!
- January 15
- Ed RiveraBest post-workout pick-me-up ever...
- Marybeth SattlerHey How was the sandwich? We just got back. It was fun.Did you bring the Jif back with you?
- Ed RiveraThe sandwich was great!! How was the beach?And how is your foot?Yeah I brought the Jif with me from the U.S.
- Marybeth SattlerThe beach was really fun...my foot was ok, but it started bleeding and got sand/other stuff in it so I am actually heading over to the Costellos for a minute to get some antibiotic ointmenti'll be back in a bit
- Ed RiveraOooh I hope it's ok
- Marybeth Sattlerya i'm sure it will be fine
- Marybeth SattlerHey, are you around? Can I call you?
- Ed RiveraCan I call you in 5 min?
- Marybeth Sattlerok sounds good
- Ed RiveraI'm walking home and don't have my Brazilian phone with me
- January 16
- Ed RiveraHey Briza just said they cancelled
- Marybeth Sattlerok... I can just take a taxi to their house since you are not going out...it should be super close...I didn't really think of that beforea taxi from the metro that is
- Ed RiveraNo you don't have to do that. I can still meet you and I'll walk you to the house. If you don't eat at the party we can eat at Samosa... Or just get dessert or something.
- Marybeth Sattlerok...either way is fine if you end up not feeling like going way over there just let me know
- Ed RiveraOk... Let me know when you're on your way.
- January 16
- Marybeth SattlerHey, I'm probably going to leave here in about 5 min.I can text you when I get to the train.
- January 22
Jan 22Ed missed a call from you.- January 29
- Marybeth Sattlerahhh!! so I am so upset! My IPAD died!The screen quit workingI took it to the computer guy here and he said the only way to fix it is to bring it to the US and have them fix it, but I use that thing every day
- Ed RiveraOh no!! Do you know what happened to it?That really sucks! I don't know what I would do if my iPad broke!
- Marybeth Sattlernothing happened, I just opened it up and the screen is full of pink lines!i know I use it all the time, and my computer is dumb
- Marybeth Sattlerso my roommate just told me there is an apple store at Market Place! maybe they can do something!oh and by the way if you sent me any messages I did not get them
- Ed RiveraYeah but the one at Market Place is not a real Apple StoreThe only real one in Brazil is in RioThey might take a look at Market Place and I don't think they do repairs. But if they do it would cost a fortune.So I sent you today's poem on your iPad this morning... Too bad I guess you won't be able to read it
- Marybeth SattlerCan you send it to me here?ya I have Apple Care so maybe that will help? or maybe they can just give me a new one
- Marybeth SattlerDo you think its worth me going in?
- Ed RiveraOh yeah with Apple Care they might just give you a new one.It's worth a shot... But I don't think they can do anythingI already sent it... Too late! Can't resend!Lol
- Marybeth Sattlerha no send it to me on FB!the customer support lady said i should try one of these service locationsbut i don´t know if they could really do anythingplus they probably don´t speak english
- Ed RiveraThey fix it as part of apple care?I can go with you
- Marybeth Sattlerya, but they can only mail it in the US
- Ed RiveraAnd see what they say about itSo you take your iPad there and they fix it?
- Marybeth Sattlerok...so I can try taking it to the place here and seeing if they can fix itif not they said they might be able to mail a new one to my parentswell i thought oh that is really great b/c I just found out my cousin in atiabaia is in MI for one more weekand maybe he could bring me a new one back!my parents brought him a TON of stuff last yearbut the lady at apple said my parents had to have the deviceughanyway when i get home i will call apple, but if they can fix it here i think it would be easierso if you are up for going sometime that would work
- Ed RiveraYeah if they can fix it here it might be a lot easier. But... If they give you a new one you can be sure it doesn't break again.I think. It might be a lot easier and cheaper to mail something out of Brazil than to mail something into the country. So you might want to look into sending it to your parents
- Marybeth Sattlerbut would it get there in time for them to deliver a new one to my cousin within a week? plus i feel like if I mailed an IPAD it would get stolenwell maybe I will try here firstwhen is good for you?
- Ed RiveraAnytime works for me.
- Marybeth Sattlertonight?
- Ed RiveraYeah tonight is good
- Marybeth Sattlerok do you want to meet at the Morumbi station?
- Ed RiveraSounds good
- Marybeth Sattlerok, what time is good?
- Ed RiveraAnytime after 5But we might have to go early. I'll check the hours of places you sent.
- Marybeth Sattlerso this place SARAIVA MORUMBI says it is open from 10-10but i dont know if that is for IPAD service or just the store
- Ed RiveraYeah I was thinking that if its in the mall it would be open.I just tried calling but there was no answer
- Marybeth Sattlerok i think it is in the mallDo you want to meet at 5? I might just go straight from school and get a ride with the Costello´s...then I could meet you at the mall or back at the train station.
- Ed RiveraOk sounds good!
- Marybeth Sattlerok where would you rather meet?
- Ed RiveraIs it easier to just meet at the train station?
- Marybeth Sattlereither way
- Ed RiveraOk let's meet there.
- Marybeth Sattlerok sounds goodthanks
