Back when we were updating our old Best of Brazil blog (which can still be seen, for the time being, here), we tried to keep up with the funniest viral videos that sweep Brazil from time to time. The following was one of the all time greats, even achieving that Holy Grail of Brazilian memesters…
A couple weeks ago we had the privilege of speaking to a group of kids at at a local camp. As we were telling them about some of the Brazilian wildlife, they became very fascinated with pictures of the capivara – the world’s largest rodent.

Our recent trip to Fortaleza brought back memories of my first moments in Brazil. The post below shares one of the more intense experiences I had in those days. It is a re-post from a few years ago, back when only part of the first Missionary Max book had been published. I have edited it…
