This is Team Vito: Gregorio, Estefan, y Vito. These three provided a terrific time, some yummy food and some big laughs. Please come back. Seriously. It was dang nice to feel short again.
Kim, this is what happened to one of the books you gave me. I JUST brought it out and it was broken day one. Ridiculous.
Ana Karen owns fake leather pants. That is good stuff.
This is Bella. She says she has a headache at bedtime every night. Right.
This is Flor and her brother Cristian. I am very close to Flor, so when her brother arrived we were immediately buddies. On the first day of school, he went with all the other kids... but then he never came home. They say he ran away, and no one seems to be alarmed about it. I´ve cried at least three times over this (the first being with Flor) and prayed for him every day. Apparently this happens from time to time, but I don´t know if I can handle it again. Please pray for him.

Rebeka and Jasmin looking soooo adorable.
The last day of summer we went to the alberca (outdoor pool) with the group that was here from Texas.
This is Brenda. She is so wonderful and an outlet for laughter for us. She is so goofy and helpful with the Español. Brenda has been working at the orphanage after living here and is about to graduate with a degree in Accounting! What a stud.
Meet Cristal. She always needs a bandaid.
Hey there, friends. I´m afraid this is gonna have to be short and sweet. We´ve had really bad weather and I´m just now able to write (and we need to be on our way back to the orphangage!)...
Our dia libre (day off) has been changed once again, so it looks like we´ll be taking off from Friday afternoon-ish to Staurday night. So! Here I am with the dearest little family in Mexico writing to you.
Lauren and I slept in til 10 this morning- the latest we´ve slept since arriving here. We had a delicious coffee beverage and had some quality time with our new Mexican brother, Daniel.
A couple funny moments from the past two weeks:
1. The two boys we take to school have an interesting combination of handicaps. We have a great time with these two. Cachito LOVES to give wet-willies. First he says, "hola". Then, within a minute there is slobber plastered on your face, arm, or wherever he sees fit. Every time I am so annoyed and then immediately laugh out loud.
2. Three of the girls woke me up last week at 3 in the morning to tell me there was a snake in the bathroom. I took a broken, filthy broom and checked each stall (including under the poopy pants that were left by some unknown niña). I am convinced it was this hissing bug that I saw in the bathroom. The best part is that one of the girls (13 yrs old) peed in her pants when she heard it.
3. Lauren and I did the electric slide Sojourn-style (with LOTS of enthusiasm like we learned from Dave and Maggie).
Okay, that´s just three and they weren´t all that funny. We GOTTA go. Love you all.
Peace,
Merm
PS- for our address, email my dad: smoody@ford.com
He´ll know a vague list of our needs as well. Sorry. We´ll get that out next week for sure!
PPS- Read the book of Job. It´s so good. Specifically ch. 23.
