NYC and Visa

   This week I went to NYC to apply for my visa. This is the first time I've been to the city and been able to just walk around and enjoy it. Jonathan O'brien is going with me to Brazil and we took the train down from his house into the city. Here are some pictures I snapped while we were there. I forgot my good camera so there's not as many as I had hoped and they're not as high quality.

Jon and I checking out Bryant Park

We watched people fall on the ice for a while. It was hilarious.

Central park and the city

Central Park was nice. Also very cold.

We went to the Apple store on 5th Ave. It is all underground.

Tired after a long day.

I could pass as a city man

      So it even though it was only 15 degrees out at the warmest part of the day, we had a pretty good time in the city. I have to go back on the 4th to pick up my visa.

    Great news!!! The plan is I am leaving the country on February 8th. I have all my paperwork that I needed in order to get my visa. So this week I will be headed to the embassy to apply for a visa. Please pray that I will be able to get it easily and quickly. So at this point I'm working hard on school and learning my Portuguese. Please continue to pray for me as I am in the final stages of my departure. I am super excited to leave and start working in Brazil. Also if you are planning on supporting my, please begin sending that in if you haven't. My support is coming in really well, so thanks everyone for your help!
