Yes...!

When I got a phone call today from our lawyer, I asked him what news he had.
I'd rather talk to you personally, he said.
Mmm, that didn't sound good.
So I went to his office, and there he sat, proudly behind his desk holding the paper that we have been trying to get for so long!
What a relief...
Jose Angel can start school in February without any more obstacles.

I ran into Doña esperanza today.
Business is slow, she said.
Maybe because of the heavy rains we have been having lately.
She also told me about the several children whom had talked to her about the police matter from last week.
They had told her that they were dizzy from the combination of hunger, thirst and heat.
But the only thing that their guards were shouting at them was "APURATE" Hurry up!

The boy on the picture had such a bad case of foot fungus that he could hardly walk.
The humid weather, no soap and no flip flops were the cause, I suppose.
I told him to come by to use some fungicide daily untill everything is gone.
He picked out a comfortable pair of flip flops at the market.
He lives and sleeps in the streets of Granada, and hadn't eaten anything decent in days..
Luckily there was enough money in the Chavalo fund to help him out.
