Day 21: Armando's letter

A letter from Armando came today. He is my little guy in Guatemala. He says that he and his family are well, but that it's hard for him to understand what they teach him in school. (That's a cue for me to send him educational items!) He goes on to say that where he lives, there are a lot of corn fields, and fields of "habas" (similar to lima beans), "guicoyes" (local squash), and tomatillos. He asked me if I like to eat "habas" and to please pray for his family.

When the weather is rainy, Armando likes to stay in his house, because his grandmother makes him tea and bread. When the weather is sunny, he likes to go out to play soccer with his neighbors and drink a soda.

I love how specific this letter is, telling me what he likes to do and eat, and I love the comment about his grandmother making him tea!

Armando, I'll certainly be praying for you and your family! I don't much care for lima beans, but I'm willing to try them again, just to see if my tastes have changed (and just for you!).

In His peace,

Sharon
