I'm not going to tell you who this is because there are going to be so many errors that i'm ashamed. (i dont know how to spell check on this computer because everything is in spanish, and nothing is where its supposed to be on the keyboard)
A few girls are working on a project of providing dresses for the girls at Casa Hogar. Naturally not all of the dresses that were donated fit the girls perfectly so alterations had to be made. All the little girls were so happy to recieve their dresses, we had a massive try-on party. one girl would take a dress off that didnt look good and throw it and another girl would grab it mid-air and put it on. The sewing machine is set up in the dining hall and amy spends hours sitting hunched over in front of it, half the time she is sewing and the other half she is coaxing the machine to work. but so far everything has been wonderful. Everyone got a dress that fit, and the girls are ecstatic.
We have been blessed with copious amounts of rain this week. all the CUMC kids are like "rain? whats that?!?!?" its the kind of rain that soaks you to the bone if you are outside for more than a few minutes! It's wonderful! The little kids look at us like we are nuts when we are frolicking in it, which we actually kind of are... Anyway, we haven't taken to showering outside yet but we might as well... the water pressure is better and the water is warmer outside.
As a side note, most of the people who frolick have no dry clothing left because the humidity is so intense that nothing dries. Didn't really think that through. Oh well.
Becca is making me tell you who i am (VIA FORCE!), but hopefully you wont go back and spell check this after you read it. Please don't.
peace and love from Mexico
