\"\"<\/a>
Leyo (left) with a daughter and daughter-in-law. Her husband, William, is sitting in front of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have two main language helpers.\u00a0 One is Leyo.\u00a0 She is great for conversation and practicing what I\u2019m learning.\u00a0 She loves to talk and corrects me when I say something wrong.\u00a0 Then she makes me say it right.\u00a0 She loves to be recorded and sometimes prompts me with, \u201cI have a story to tell you, do you want to record it?\u201d\u00a0 Then, she goes off for 5-10 minutes telling me something that happened to her or a legend that the \u201cold ones\u201d tell from a long time ago.<\/p>\n

She has 11 children that are still alive.\u00a0 6 are older and several of them are married.\u00a0 5 are younger and in elementary school.\u00a0 She has 7 grandchildren and 3 of them are now in her care.<\/p>\n

Queen and her kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Her oldest daughter, Queen, used to help me a lot with language and sometimes would come over just to hang out at my house.\u00a0 But, now, she has remarried and has moved to another town.\u00a0 Leyo is now taking care of her two kids from a previous relationship that was abusive.<\/p>\n

Leyo can barely see things close up.\u00a0 So, she can no longer sew clothes or teach her younger girls to sew.\u00a0 She can\u2019t make beaded bracelets to make money or sew embroidered tortilla clothes to sell as others in the village do.\u00a0 She comes once a week to wash my laundry in the creek for money to buy soap and milk and other necessary things from the store.\u00a0\u00a0 With her poor eyesight up close, she can see amazingly at far distances.\u00a0 She can tell you people are walking on the other side of the village.\u00a0 All I can see is a person, male or female and she will tell me who it is!<\/p>\n

Please pray for Leyo and her husband, William, and their many kids and grandkids that God would prepare their hearts to hear His Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
