| Arriving from Spain is Laura who was met by her host mom Trish! |
Hi there. We are hosting Laura of Spain. She is just about the most precious 16 year old young woman a host family could ever wish to host...and we know from experience as she is our #16 student!
Laura sometimes get her words jumbled up. She informed me that she wanted to "carve a pancake". When I looked at her with a puzzled look, she said, "you know Mom, one of those big orange things." Then I understood...PUMPKIN! She topped it off with, "And I want to put a candy inside to make it light up"! CANDLE! We laughed so hard and made one more wonderful memory.
Laura volunteers at the Humane Society of Redmond's Thrift & Gifts Store. She operates the cash register, prices clothing and puts the pieces out on the floor, helps some of the Hispanic folks who come in with their questions and straightens up as needed throughout the store. She is quick to help out here at home and is maintaining a B+ grade at Redmond High School.
Thanks so much CHI. This is an amazing year with a top notch addition to our family. Laura is an amazing person and we just love her.
