Definitely worth it at the top (or at the bottom by the shore). Thanks for the message, Tim!

I wish it, too, Steph! Just got back from a baby shower for Lety. The entire MF staff crammed into two pickup trucks and went to a restaurant on the lake, all volcanoes visible. I took Pedro to the doctor today for a shot. He asked if Id come with him on Friday, too, and hugged me. All the ancianos are so sweet. Except one, who only knew that she knew me from somewhere, and tried to sell me some textiles. Manuel Parajon (the anciano brother) and I have smiling contests (he obviously wins). Ana Isabel finally has a wedding date (next month). The new staff and volunteers are great (but I already knew that, given their work). And Mayerlin says hi. And ¨whats crackin,¨ she asks (although I already told her whats cracking). Also, her hot water doesnt work, so that means 2 weeks of cold showers for me. YES! Seno Helen has been running very successful diabetes clinics and elderly clinics each month. Also, I cant find the apostraphe on this Guatemalan keyboard, sorry about that.

You’ve gotten it right and written it beautifully–the elderly care program is pure good. Nice job. Wish I was there too.

The crazy dancing lady from Central America returns. Good luck Ronnie. Looks like it will be a farewell for Mateo as well. Hi to Jess and Steph. Don’t envy you pushing up the steep streets in the heat, all worth it when you get to the top of the hill.

Stephanie, Thanks for all you managed to write. Your analysis is right, and your plea well put. May your work and writing bear much fruit for the powerless of the world. Love, Catherine

Steph,
WELCOME HOME!!! Your “headed home” blog brought tears to my eyes. Rest assured that I, and I’m sure many others, will continue to support Mayan Families.
Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Eileen (Jessica’s Mom)

So many things which could be said in response…..but really, I can sum it up quite succinctly: I am SO PROUD of you, Steph. xoxoxo
