Back in the 1980's I had the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for Christ in Brazil for a few years. There are times when I have “saudades” (“homesick” is the best way I can translate the Portuguese word).
We lived in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil. The strong German influence in a cowboy culture created an interesting environment. Living in the capital city of Porto Alegre with several million people, the beach was about two hours away and the mountains about 1 ½ hours (occasional dusting of snow in the winter).
