well, in 3 weeks i'll be in mexico. i am so excited i can hardly stand it. packing has begun and it's kind of a disaster, but it will get done somehow.

i just placed a big order for children's books in spanish and am always looking for more, preferably used, to decrease the cost. if you're interested in adding to the collection at gabriel house, please let me know! books can be sent right to the mexican medical (www.mexicanmedical.com) office, where they will be brought down to the kids as soon as possible. i'm really excited about this because i LOVE to read to kids, and i think this will be a great way to connect with them while my spanish is improving (in leaps and bounds, hopefully!).

thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for your support in every way, shape and form. watch for something in your mailbox in the coming weeks!
