This past week it has been wonderful to have my mom here visiting. It has been great showing her around the town, bringing her to my schools (she even sat through my high school classes!), and worshiping with her in church. Some special moments for me were shopping for a traditional shirt together and then wearing our outfits to church; eating meals together at the Mexican taco restaurant, Churrasic Park, or at my place; translating for you on house visits; going out for ice cream; chatting over Jamaican Rose tea; knitting on the roof; riding the school bus together; seeing people's reactions when I introduced my mom as "Bonita" which means pretty; and visiting our previous and current sponsor children and blessing them with gifts.
Mom, there are just a couple things I want to make sure are very clear. 1) I just want you to know that if you weren't pretty, I probably would have gone with your middle name. 2) I ate the avacados today- well actually I opened them and threw them out - but I'm glad you were successful in buying them by yourself in the market. 3) Most of the teachers asked why you weren't getting on the bus with me this morning - I guess they didn't realize you were leaving or they would've said goodbye. 4) I love you a lot and am so glad you came to visit. See you in 2 months!
