My friend Rosa and a few of her kids. She, without fail always has a smile on her face and is just someone who is genunely happy about life.
This was part of my breakfast this morning! PAPAYA!!
I just have to say that I love living in a tropical country, this morning for breakfast I had a bunch of guaba, watermelon, papaya and 3 big mangos, plus a little potatoes and eggs. Normally we do not get this much fresh fruit, but since it is practically the end of the campaign all of our friends are bringing us tokens of gratitud. So right now we have tons of free fresh fruit and I am absolutely loving life!
This is Dora. I would have to say that she is one of my best friends here in Nuevo Amazonia. She was baptized two Sabbaths ago. She owns a little store and we buy much of our food from her. She is the one who taugh us how to make empanadas and also loves to share her Chichamorada (a delicious drink make from purple corn)

A few of my friends who shared a big watermelon with me!

Aqui esta mi estudiante Jovana y su hijos. These kids have come to every night to the meetings for the past 3 1/2 weeks. They have tons of energy and just have a truley happy look at life.

One of our friends sewed these shirts for Lauren and I on a little foot peddle powered sewing machine.
