Just a short post to proclaim that there is, indeed, still hope for humanity.Just when you get bogged down at work, emotionally abused on the phone by rude, ruthless people, and you begin to lose hope in the future of humankind...you interact with a kind soul who reminds you that YES, there is hope still for humanity.
I just had such an interaction with a lovely Mexican family (the Duarte family). Let me tell you, there is nothing like a fun, kind, energetic latino family to lift your spirits. ;) There was nothing super extravagant about the conversation we had, it just blessed me to recieve a smile, a "thank you" (well, we spoke in Spanish, so it was a "muchas gracias"), and a sense that there still are genuinely good people in this world. And I am reminded how God has wired me to work cross-culturally; that He has called me to operate in such a setting, to serve others using foreign language, and that it blesses me like nothing else to be able to cross that cultural and linguistic border and show someone that I truly care about them and their family.
Gracias a TI Señor Duarte. :)

That's wonderful! I love it when God blesses us with things that are not really out of the ordinary but just make us happy.
I'll return your phone call soon!
Yeah, it was a nice moment. :)
