Dear RonBee,
Yes! I wish I could take you with me to school.
I showed your corrections to my mom and dad
and they told me you are good and you sound friendly.
They regularly monitor my internet friends. Just
a month ago my classmate sent me porno and they
got angry. My mom told me not to open my emails.
My mails are examined before they are allowed to be read
by me. I use my mom's e-mail address right now. This
way she can easily see my mails.
Next week will be our third quarterly exams. We will be
very busy. After the 16th, we will be free! Christmas
break. On the 30th will be our Fiesta. We celebrate
our town's patron Saint- St. James the Greater. There
will be lots of food and music! Many people will come
and celebrate this day with us. Everybody is invited.
It's true that the country is in financial crisis but during
Fiesta, one word comes to mind "abundance". Some
families even go to lenders (sharks) just to make this
feast grand. Its our way of doing things which really
looks different. I can send you our family picture if you
like---see how we live here.
