Giving ‘hermano’ Orlando (17) dating tips of what is acceptable, let’s just say we have our own sign language: forhead, cheek, and hand…that pretty much covers it… “no besos, si!”
Laughing until my tummy hurts with Melicita and Hilidita while we are attempting to be Pilates pros.
Gazing at a cascade of mesmerizing skylight and wishing upon my favorite star from the Beholder’s hand.
Making a tent at 2:30 in the morning and let’s not forget, “Lions, Tigers, and Bears, oh my, we are in the jungle after all.”
Unveiling myself before the Maker’s throne with my teammate and amazing friend Melicita.
Telling someone they’re ‘soft’ when I meant to tell them they were ‘sweet’. I learned the right word for sweet real quick.
Getting so excited when a phone booth or internet café is within sight to say hello to my loved ones and hear the breathtaking voice of my most tender-hearted-God-honoring-love-of-my-life on the other end.
Cruising through the jungle in the good ole’ Nissan, let’s just say my prayer life has increased at least a hundred decibels…is that possible?

Hopping off to school to see the smiling faces that await me and be amazed at the joyous children He has granted…did I forget to mention I get to work with an amazing group of Sisters that live at the Abby….I’m the only non-single one in the bunch!!!!
Praising God for each new day He has granted and giving Him all the glory (Gloria A Dios…. “no Melissa, it is not Gloria Adios, it means “to give God the glory!)
Hearing Hilda’s heart and getting to help with little Carlitos’ nighttime routine.
Oh, we can’t forget, Melissa and I trying to sunbathe on the asphalt driveway at Nohemi’s house (it did not take long to find out that baby oil only attracts mosquitos, not the sun, and our efforts were meaningless as it began to pour five minutes into our attempt at a Nicaraguan tan)

Aww. One of my top 12 here in Joplin would be when my phone rings, with the now familiar "unavailable" on my caller ID. More likely than not, it's Amber calling...It sounds like you guys are having a great time! You are always in my prayers, and I thank God constantly that He is watching over and protecting you both. May He use you both greatly! Amber, Te Amo Mas....and Melissa, you take really good pictures...I think you may have a gift...
