Here are a few snapshots of the past week or so of my life.
My sponsor child gave me the top of this traditional dress-called a guipil (say: wee-peel) and the skirt is called a corte. Julie Sawatsky, one of the girls who lives in my house with me, lent me the corte.
I wore this to church last Sunday and my sponsor family was absolutely thrilled. I was actually able to sit with them during the service and worship with them. What an incredible privilege.
This is Selvin. He comes and visits me every time we work at Chijacorral.
I practice my Spanish with him and he practices his English with me.
He blesses my heart.
And they were TOMS.
That's all for now.
Much love.
I love his shoes! You are too cute. Give Audy a hug from me. Love.
