"Everybody can be GREAT because anybody can SERVE. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a HEART full of GRACE, and a SOUL generated by LOVE."



~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Happy Birthday Ivania/Host Mom!!!

Today, April 25th, is my host mom’s birthday (her name is Ivania) and since it is the day after Easter it is still a holiday/no work. Derrick and I got her a new rocking chair for the porch since the one we have now is broken and she enjoys sitting on the porch. We are excited to give it to her. Tonight we are having a party here at the house with 30 people/family members coming over.

I think I will also try to go to the Quinta at some point today to organize the donations that Ryan brought down from my mom, but besides that I will be relaxing and spending time with my host family and Derrick. Derrick leaves tomorrow to go back to the States, so I want to make sure I get some time with him too.

Love,
Ayla Landry
