Our team is amazing. So far, we´ve helped about 14,000 people see! The smiles on the childrens´faces are priceless. Smile is Sonria in Spanish. I´ve actually found myself speaking Spanglish to my teammates! And what´s cooler is that I´m starting to understand the Spanish language better when it´s spoken to me.
Amy gave away her father´s glasses the other day. It was another moment I´ll never forget. Her father passed away two years ago, and the man who received the glasses was so grateful. Amy was in tears, and so was everybody around her! not only did the recipenet receive a pair of glasses, but he also got a bonus pair of presctiption sunglasses!
We´re all starting to miss home a bit. We started round two of clinic days today, after two days of freetime. I´m so lucky to be on a mission in such a georgeour place. We went shopping Saturday, and I bought a bunch of Guatemalan fabrics. We also took a tour of a coffee plantation. It was an extremely hot and humid day, but we all graciously accepted a cup of hot coffee at the end of the tour. I also bought four bags for myself!
Sunday, we took what was supposed to be an hour busride to an eco-park, but it turned out to be three hours. I´m starting to truly appreciate modern pavement at home! At the eco park, we all went ziplining! It was SO MUCH FUN!
I think I´m going to have to post photos when I get home. I don´t have much time on the computers when I have free time, so next week, look for fotos.

Erin: Have I told you how proud I am of the tremendous job you and your colleagues are doing? I can't wrap my mind around all the people you are helping, and in such a short time. You must be exhausted by the end of the day. Just know that a lot of people are praying for you and the wonderful service you are providing.
Be safe. I love you.
Mom
(Ziplining? That's so cool!)
