Spanglish: Up Close and Personal-Part II
Even though it was a short time in El Salvador, it was the most experience into a Latino culture that I have received during our months in Central America. Beside my “family”, our friend and contact Silvia, her family, and friend Victor made our time in El Salvador unforgettable…
There was a lot of Spanglish going on between all of us, and multiple usage of …“Can you repeat that again, more slowly, please?” But in the end, our point always got across. Amen!
There was…the multiple beach and amazing scenery visits(the Pier and Puerta Del Diablo),markets, church, papusa making(and eating), and many meaningful conversations and laughter.

My Salvadorian “family” and friends showed me the meaning of love that transcends any language; true unity and connection through Christ.
And even though the language might have been a challenge, I find that if you try hard enough, use your hands (universal and made up signs),mix a couple languages = Spanglish, and love the people through sincere intentions, beautiful friendships can be formed! Among many other things, that’s what my ten days in El Salvador taught me.
