past couple weeks have been absolutely awesome! -We were biking past this park and we slowed down to watch a soccer game that some guys were playing. The ball rolled out, so the goalie went to grab the ball and kick it and at that point we had stopped completely to watch, and as soon as the goalie kicked the ball the ref blew the whistle blew and it was halftime. we groaned and were like "okay God, we're getting back to work. Sorry we got distracted." - we did our studies at the cemetery and it was sooooo beautiful for Día de Los Muertos! theres so many orange marigolds and the cemeteries are absolutely covered in just a blanket of orange! we bought some for our apartment! we walked around and talked to the people who were there visiting their family and friends and asked them to share a memory they had of the person and it was so fun and beautiful - thank you thank you thank you for all the birthday wishes and cards! i felt so loved and hearing from yall made my day so...
