It's a wonderful life!

Pictures to update you all....
 

 One morning I found this beautiful little fellow on the rail outside our bedroom window.
 
 Last weekend Mercy learned to sew- and she did amazing!!
 
 This would be the little church we go to every Sunday in Lejamani...
 
 Sunday School.... can't help but love those deep brown eyes and adorable faces...
 
 Emi has a buddy
 
 Chillin out....
 
The town of  Lejamani - its right by the church, about and hour from here
 
 The new bus in town- they seriously paid a bus fair to ride in this cattle truck just like it was a bus!
 
 Every weekend we WIND through the mountains on crazy S curves, with a crazy driver and it's enough to make you sick, but the mountains and beauty that surrounds us makes it worth it.
 



 SURPRISE!! Ha we got him good-
Monday morning Gaby brought in a cake and all the students sang.:)
 
 "Quiere usted sus vecinos"- learned to give directions in espanol on Wednesday this week
using  the game do you love your neighbor.... the teachers LOVED it!! We played for over a 1/2 hour with most the afternoon students and teachers. 
 
 Building sentences!!
Gaby gives us a red card- an expression of time and a colored verb card and we have to make a sentence.
Ejemplo: "En este momento ustedes estan comprediendo mis palabras."
At the moment you are comprehending my words.

 Shopping at  Del Corral
 
 Everywhere we go we bring piles of tracks-
just to and from the grocery store we could hand out 400-500
 
 Singing in Spanish...
We sang quiet because it wasn't very good!
 

Playing Quiere usted sus vecions?" with our teachers last night. It was a riot! And a great way to interact with our spanish company when we have a very limited vocab. Gaby is in the pink, Jessica  in next to Mercy, with her daughter in the green beside her, and Gaby's Mom is next to Emi.
 

 Listening-
we had to translate back and forth for the kids and teachers so we'd all be on the same page


 A cinnamon roll recipe Emi wrote out for Gaby a few weeks ago...
 
In front of school.... it sure is beautiful here!
Miss you all. Keep praying for the Snyder's, that everyone will learn the language and God will guide and direct them to exactly where he would have them.
