We are family

I am currently staying with a fabulous Colombian family, the Londonos, in between my travel days. I have known them since my mission, and I seem to fit right in! They are all such warm, happy, loving people, and have been so kind to open their home to me. I may not be here very often, but when I am I know I can totally relax and feel at home.
Today, after a long day of flying and bus rides and hauling my suitcases all over the countryside, I finally got home just before 6pm. I was gone just one week while visiting Israel. As I walked in the door, I was meant by all 5 kids, ranging in age from 2 to 17. They were all full of hugs and kisses and so happy to see me and hear about my trip. I felt so loved!! Talk about a warm welcome. That is what home should be. I love these people and their righteous examples. I'm so grateful for the time I have to spend with them.
Plus they help me with my spanish:) Muy bien!

Que suerte! I am glad that you have some latin luck in your life. I miss being around Spanish speakers all the time. :(
