Spring Update

Juan on his trip in Salta!



Hello Friends and Family!

Sorry for not updating sooner, but not too much has happened since I last updated and having internet issues at the house.

Yesterday we did go for our VISA interview and Juan was denied. There are many reasons why he was, and it does make sense to me. It just was initially very upsetting. I now know what they need and Carey and I are going to get make it happen. So again, you will know when we get a VISA for Juan.

Meanwhile, Juan is taking his driving lessons and hopefullywill be complete at the end of November. I am taking Spanish classes and starting to improve more each day. I know it will take many years, but it seems like I am having more conversations with people and they are understanding what I am trying to say.

I did have some cousins come and visit for a night up here in San Nicolas. They met Juan( first in the family). It was great to see family and have them see where I live and meet my new friends.

Juan is doing OK in school. I am meeting with his teachers next week to come up with a plan for his exam schedule. He does speak English with me when he needs too. The most he spoke was when we were in the embassy( hahahah).

Overall we are both doing well. I hope you all are doing well.

LOVE US

Spring Time

Well, we are both back from our trips. Juan had a great time going up to Salta which is the desert area north of here. I will post pictures later. I had a great time home visiting family and friends and my DOGS and Carey. It is Spring time here now and getting warmer by the day! We are starting to get rain storms which is very much needed. They say this is the dryest it has been in many many years! The children at the hogar are getting bigger and doing well.

I am back into routine with making sure Juan is where is suppose to be with his appoinments, school and futbol etc. I am starting to volunteer 2 hours a week with tutoring some kids at the hogar helping them with English, plus taking my Spanish classes.

We have an appointmwnt with the American Embassy on the 30th for a VISA for January..keep usa in your prayers!

LOVE
Bonner
