Smiling in Spanish [EPUB ebook] 

In August of 2012 two adventurous ladies decided to become more fl uent in
Spanish by immersing themselves in four weeks of language study in Antigua,
Guatemala. Fueling their desire was their work with Spanish-speaking
immigrants in Richmond, Virginia. These letters refl ect their challenges and
joys as they embraced a very different culture. Ultimately, they found the
rewards of being far from home are many, including rediscovering their own
capacity for fearlessly facing new challenges, and fi nding beautiful people
tucked away in many corners of the world.
