Well, that was an amazing trip.

I got to the airport in Sau Paulo in good time.  We had a little traffic, but that’s to be expected.  After a quick sandwich I said my goodbye to Mr. Graham.

I only ended up waiting for about an hour for my flight.  After that they checked my carry ons and I was off.  The flight went well.  My TV was sort of working on and off, but that’s OK.  God was good to me and gave me a window seat.  And the seat next to me was empty so I could stretch across both to sleep.

After getting into Washington D.C. I exchanged my money and got me some Subway.  5 dollar foot longs yo!

I had a six hour lay over in DC which only ended up being about 3 1/2 to 4 hours after I went through customs.  I found a quiet spot in the airport and played my guitar for a while.  I wanted to step outside, but the airport was so honking extensive I couldn’t find my way out.  After that I played chess against a pilot who stopped to listen to me play my guitar.  I lost badly, but that’s OK, it killed time.

My flight to Knoxville went well and I am very glad to be home.

God has taught me SO MUCH on this trip.   Things I need to learn mentally, and spiritually.  Ways I need to change my attitude.  How I need to act and behave to be the best Jonathan Randazzo I can be.

I think, ultimately, I learned that Christianity is so much bigger than in the US.  There are people all around the world who love the Lord and one of the biggest mistakes we can make as Americans is to act that we are spiritually superior or more mature just cause we are in fact Americans.  God works just as much in the lives of others as He does with us.  And sometimes more cause we have it so ridiculously easy.  The big problem I think we have is getting complacent in our Christian lives.  We just kind of get into a rhythm and we take God for granted.   Try waking up every morning and asking yourself, “Is this the day I die?”, and see if that doesn’t put a different perspective on your day.

Thanks again for reading and taking an interest in what I did, and what God taught me during my Brazil Experience.
