I believe you met another young woman who lived in Badin, named Danielle. My friend Alex (who speaks Spanish!) and I are writing to you, but we write on behalf of a whole dorm of 146 girls (kind of like a large hogar) who have read your letter and are excited to be a part of your life. I am so glad you like math and enjoy learning so much. We are in university and are studying many different subjects. I am studying biology and want to be a doctor someday too. Alex is studying law. I think we have a lot in common, because I also love to drink coffee and to swim! Have you had the opportunity to sew anything remarkable lately? Do you ever sew any of your own clothes? My grandmother was very good at sewing and I wish I had learned more from her about it. Speaking of becoming a doctor, medicine is what first introduced me to NPH. I was able to visit Rancho Santa Fe in January with the Daly family. Have you ever met them? I loved the Ranch and agree that it is very beautiful. I spent some time with the children in Casa Suyapa, and though my Spanish is not very good they were so much fun to play with. We met Reinhart, Sister Kolbe, and Stefan while we were there, and it makes me happy to know such wonderful people live on the Ranch with you, plus many more I have not met yet! I am not sure when I will be able to get back to Honduras but I really hope to come back to the Ranch someday. Two of my friends, a boy named Alex and a girl named Elle, hope to visit again next January. Elle speaks much better Spanish than I do so I will tell her to look out for you! ! Thank you so much for your letter and your blessing! Please know we are praying for you and look forward to hearing from you again soon. Much love, Yuko, Alex, and the girls of Badin Hall ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
