Yesterday we received a letter from one of our Compassion kids.
These letters always make me smile.
This one also made me confused.
Gabriela is from The Dominican Republic and writes in Spanish, so after looking over her drawing and the cute little form sheet she filled out, I went to the English translation that's always provided.
"I thank you for the photo in front of the cannon."
Huh? Cannon? I'm pretty sure I didn't send a photo with a cannon in it. I'm not known for taking photographs of instruments of war.
At 1:30 a.m I woke up and realized it was suppose to say "canyon." I had sent a picture of my kids at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
And sure enough, I went to read the original Spanish and there it was. She had written "gran cañon."
Now that that is cleared up, Gabriela, I'm so glad you liked it.
