I’m right by your side Abby, I know exactly what you mean. I cried in front of my kids too when I was in Peru at Mamita’s house. Its a place that makes our hearts and our love come to the surface in a new way, and tears are part of us sharing that with our kids. They would look at me so concerned when I would cry and I would tell them ‘I love you guys and I’m ok but I am crying right now’ and we would have the sweetest hugs in those moments. I’m right by your side Abby, you got this. You are an amazing example of ‘deep living’ and the dreams that are coming forth within you can emerge in their own timing, you rest, let it unfold, moment by moment, I got you and yes, there is a reason you’re there. I’m sharing tears with you as I read your writing, I love reading your viewpoint on this place and family that we share.
The chicken story shows that life there is hard for everyone and everything. You have to rely on the support of the people around you to help you with a mouthful of water and a loving nudge back to your path sometimes!! Go ABIGAIL!!
I am enjoying your stories of settling into your new home and language. I will keep my eye out for children's books in Spanish. Or would you also like some in English for Enzo?
I love your ideas of collecting Spanish books for your kids or the community that you live in. Maybe we can find some other books from local Lutheran Church book fair too! Let us work on that!
Abby, I don’t know if you received my email sent while you were traveling. I am so pleased to learn of your blog!
I’ve lived in several foreign countries so am interested in all your new experiences, but mostly I care about you and your family. I want you to remember your friends at CUMC and know that you are encircled with love and supported by prayer.
I’m holding your whole family in prayer and love reading about your experiences and feelings. I respect you so much as I get to know you better through your blog. Thank you for the gift of your writing.

Abuelita brought the chicken back to life! We all know she did!
It was David Letterman....on every weeknight!

It sounds like such an adjustment. But worth it, to be a family. together. Breath by breath, step by step, you will see your worth.
