El domingo después del culto en la iglesia unos hermanos salimos a una de las calles principales en el pueblo. Cada persona llevaba una cartulina con una palabra o frase del versículo Juan 14:6. Nos pusimos en una fila en la acera para que el tráfico pudiera leerlo. Algunas personas nos tocaron la bocina. A otras personas no les gustó, pero estábamos muy emocionados y felices por poder representar a Cristo así. Nos divertimos juntos cantando también.
On Sunday after church some Christian brothers and sisters and I went out to one of the main streets in town. Each person took along a poster board with a word or phrase from John 14:6. We formed a line on the sidewalk so that the traffic could read it. Some people honked their horns. Other people didn't like it, but we were very excited and happy to be able to represent Christ in that way. We had a lot of fun singing as well.
A journey through life. Sometimes everyday events become adventures!
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

Niagara Falls/Las cascadas Niágara
Hoy G y L vinieron a almorzar con nosotros en casa. Después mi papá sugirió que fuéramos a caminar en las cascadas Niágara. Hacía tiempo que no las había visto. Me quedé asombrada por el poder y la belleza de las cascadas. Aquí tengo dos videos--uno del corriente del río Niágara y otro de las cascadas.
Today G and L came to have lunch with us at home. Afterwards, my dad suggested that we go to walk at Niagara Falls. It had been a long time since I had seen them. I was amazed by the power and beauty of the falls. Here are two videos--one of the current of the Niagara River and another of the falls.

Day on the River/Un día en el río
Hoy unos hermanos de la iglesia y yo salimos para la tierra de la nación Seneca. Allí entre las hermosas colinas y la verdura de los arboles, remamos unas canoas varias millas por el río. Vimos un venado nadando y un águila pescando. Fue la primera vez que paseé en canoa en un río. Mi papá y yo fuimos juntos en una canoa y fue tan lindo compartir esa experiencia con él. No tengo fotos porque no quise llevar la cámara en la canoa para que no se mojara, pero siempre será un recuerdo bonito de la vida.
Today some church friends and family and I set out for the land of the Seneca nation. There, among the beautiful hills and the green of the forest, we rowed several miles in canoes along the river. We saw a deer swimming and a bald eagle fishing. It was the first time that I had gone canoeing on a river. My dad and I went together in a canoe, and it was so nice to share that experience with him. I don't have pictures because I didn't want to take the camera in the canoe so that it didn't get wet, but it will always be a beautiful memory.

You Know You've Lived in Latin America When.../Sabes que has vivido en Latinoamérica cuando...
las tiendas étnicas en el festival y los kioskos de vegetales en la calle te hacen sentir en casa.
the ethnic tents at the county fair and the vegetable stands on the side of the road make you feel at home.

Thoughts.../Unos pensamientos...
Este domingo enseñé la clase de los niños de 2 a 3 años por mi mamá. Vinieron dos niños. Como fue la primera vez que enseñé esta clase, estaba pensando en qué decir para que los niños me conocieran y aprendieran mi nombre. Bueno, ¿qué harían ustedes si, después de presentarse a los niños como la "Srta. R_____", se dieran cuenta que los únicos dos niños en la clase son primos suyos?
Me imagino que harían igual que yo...
"Ah...¡ustedes son mis primos! Así que...no me tienen que llamar "Srta. R_____". Me pueden llamar "R_____".
Se complica aún más cuando uno piensa que yo tengo que explicar que soy la hija de la otra maestra "R_____" que para ellos es la "tía R_____" pero para otros niños sería la "Sra. R_____".
Estoy segura que completamente confundí a estos muchachitos. ¿Ahora qué voy a hacer si viene otro niño que no es primo? ¿Me llamarán algunos "R_____" y otros "Srta. R_____"?
This Sunday I taught the 2- and 3-year-old Sunday school class for my mom. Two little boys came. Since it was the first time that I taught this class, I was thinking about what to say so that the children could get to know me and learn my name. Well, what would you do if, after introducing yourself to the children as "Miss R_____," you realize that the only two children in the class are your cousins?
I imagine that you would do the same thing I did...
"Uh...you guys are my cousins! So...you don't have to call me "Miss R_____." You can call me "R_____."
The situation gets more complicated if you consider that I have to explain that I am the daughter of the other teacher "R_____" who, for them, is "Aunt R_____" but, for other children, is "Mrs. R_____."
I'm sure that I completely confused those little boys. Now, what will I do if a child comes who is not my cousin? Will some call me "R_____" and others "Miss R_____"?

Special Time with Mom/Un día especial con mamá
El domingo 8, mi mamá y yo salimos juntas por la tarde. Ella había comprado unos boletos para ver una competencia de bandas de marcha. Cuando empezaron las bandas, me asombré mucho. No sabía que las presentaciones iban a ser tan complicadas musicalment y visualmente. Mi banda favorita fue la que tocó varias piezas de "El mago de Oz". No solamente tocaron la música, sino que también actuaron. ¡Fue casi un drama!
On Sunday, August 8, my mom and I had a girls' outing. She had bought two tickets to see a marching band competition. When the bands started, I was amazed. I had had no idea that the presentations were going to be so musically and visually complex. My favorite band was the one that played several songs from "The Wizard of Oz." Not only did they play the music, but they also acted the story. It was almost a play!

Summer Happenings/Así estoy pasando el verano
El 12 de junio empecé mi nuevo trabajo como asistente oftálmica. Me gusta mucho, y estoy aprendiendo algo nuevo todos los días. Hasta ahora puedo llevar a los pacientes a los cuartos para ver al médico, preparar inyecciones, abrir el archivo computarizado del paciente, limpiar los instrumentos médicos, ponerles gotas y ungüente para el ojo a los pacientes, y hacer algunas otras cosas también.
On June 12, I began my new job as ophthalmic technician. I like it a lot and am learning something new every day. So far, I can take patients to rooms to see the doctor, prepare injections, open the patients´ computer file, clean medical instruments, put drops and ointments in patients´ eyes, and do various other things.
Aparte de eso, sigo disfrutando con mi familia. El 1 de agosto empecé a alquilar el apartamento de mis papás. Es muy divertido poder pensar en decoraciones y muebles y otras cosas para la casa.
Besides that, I'm still enjoying being with my family. On Aug. 1, I started renting my parents´ apartment. It´s so fun to think about decorations and furniture and other things for the house.
Bueno, como casi no puedo escribir un "blog" sin mencionar a mi bella gatita ;-), aquí está otra foto. Lily tiene 3.5 meses. Dos o tres veces a la semana la llevo afuera para explorar el patio de atrás. Le encanta salir. ¡No se ve todos los días un gato o una gata con un arnés puesto!
Well, since I can hardly write a blog post without mentioning my beautiful kitten ;-), here is another photo. Lily is 3.5 months old. Two or three times a week I take her outside so that she can explore the backyard. She loves to go out. It's not everyday that one sees a cat in a harness!
