Hi there!
hi Sophia! how are you doing?
Sorry I left the chat earlier!  I accidentally refreshed my page and I left the chat.
hey its ok no problem!
I'm doing pretty alright
what were we talking about?
what about you? I think I was asking which part of  Portugal your friend served in
oh yeah he served in Lisbon mission was your dad from that mission?
Yeah, my dad lived in Alverca, which is very close to Lisbon
ahhh my friend never got to go down there unfortunately. have you visited?
That's too bad.  It's really pretty.  I have gone there.
hey fun fact!
It was a lot of fun.  I liked the algarve a lot! what's the fun fact?
portugal's main export is cork and guess what? cork is very sustainable because it comes from a cork tree bark and the tree regrows the bark.
I actually knew this about cork!  My dad is a big fan of fun facts.  Especially when they are about Portugal! While I was there I actually bought a cork purse!
it sounds like cork clothing items wouldn't last long do you use that purse a lot?
I think they seal it so it lasts longer but yeah i use it quite a bit.  i like it
do you know how? my girlfriend is asking because she is experimenting with cork she is experimenting with sustainable design for her school
i actually don't know how!  i could probably look it up! :D
oh haha yeah I can always google it too i guess
actually maybe they don't seal it.  because i think it is already water proof.
oh righttt that makes sense. so you are coming to BYU this fall as a freshy right?
Yeah, I am going to be a freshman!  Super excited!
awesome!!1 what are you most excited for?
I think I'm most excited to meet new people!  That's why I think this Chit-Chat Challenge thing is really cool.
yeah right!!?? someone on here told me that BYU should make this as a regular thing because it help to help others meet not in a weird way or like to hook up but to just make friends
yeah!  i think that would be a good idea!  like so far my experience on here has been great and i haven't had any weird chats.
hey I gotta go but you are welcome to leave this chat room connected so that we can keep talking when I come back!
