Here are some pictures of the family that I am staying with. The mother, is Marlida and the father is Neil and they have two kids, a son Juan Pedro who they call “Petrusco” about to turn 3 and a daughter Maria Isabelle age 6. Neil is a pastor at a church near their home and Marlida stays home with Petrusco during the day.

Once home she showed me my room and around their two bedroom apartment. [View Full Entry]
