Translation: My name is Sondra Louise. I live in Omaha. I work from my home for Arbonne. I am ? old! I like the beach. My daughter's name is Ashley. She is 10 years old. She likes sand castles. My other daughter is Nicole. She is six years old. She likes seashells. My husband's name is Tim. He works as an electrician. He likes to travel to the ocean.

I am so excited to be able to write a whole paragraph about my family in Spanish!!

Thanks to a wonderful grant given to Latinas Unidas, and the Spanish Chat Company, I'm able to participate in a 6-week conversational Spanish class from my home via the web! I decided it's important for me to be able to learn some Spanish in order to be able to truly communicate and connect with the people I will be serving! My friend, Cindy, who's joining me on the trip is also participating. And so we'll be able to "practice" between now and June!

June will be here before we know it, so I'm glad we've been able to start the classes now! Thanks for the support and encouragement from everyone!

With Gratitude,
Sondra
