It's Real!

'Just walking through the streets and the markets it became so real to me. All of the people, the sights, and the smells are nothing I have experienced before and seeing how these people live would really humble anyone. The people are so willing to talk to you, even a 'gringo' from Idaho! Oh, and by the way, I did get called a gringo!

At time I think we take things for granted, but getting to know the Latinos makes me step back and realize how blessed we are. Many of these Elders from Latin America are the only members in their families. Many of them have scrificed so much to be here and seeing their smiling faces and positive attitudes is such a strength to me."
