Amigo = Portuguese for Friend (and in spanish too)

In January we had some Brazilian friends over.  The husband, Victor, is here going to BYU and the wife, Viviane, was a member of a family that Ray had baptized on his mission, and so we invited them along with their son Cezar to come for dinner.  Victor spoke English very well, but Viviane didn't really.  We spoke most of the night in English and it was fun to get to know them, but I felt bad that Viviane and I could not communicate so well.

Fast forward 10 months later, Viviane had a baby and her parents came from Brazil to be with her for a few months.  We invited them all over for dinner.  The parents spoke very little English, so most of the night was them all speaking in Portuguese and me wishing I could somehow upload Portuguese so I could understand all their stories.  I was very impressed at how well Viviane spoke English, since we last saw her.  We could carry on a normal conversation.  I don't think that if I lived in Brazil for 10 months I would learn Portuguese so well.  We also invited a ward member that is from Brazil to come and him and the father hit it off.  I would of thought he was one of their best friends the way they laughed and talked.  Victor wasn't able to attend but here we all are minus George (neighbor) he is taking the picture.

Even though I couldn't speak their language I enjoyed having them over and meeting them.  They are neat people.
