Ash from the volcanic erruption
ash on all the plants

9 de Agosto

When I woke up this morning, I noticed that everything outside was covered in mud. I figured there must have been a big dust storm during the night followed by rain. However, at breakfast Magda notified us that during the night one of the volcanoes about 50 or 60 miles away had erupted and the “mud” we saw was actually ash falling from the sky. The neighboring villages were evacuated due to the high danger level. It was a day of victory for me today! The Lord blessed me with a sale. I sold my most expensive item in the street to a kid from Florida, 1 down and 1 to go. It is exciting to have money again. The word of the day is “colgar.” “To hang up the phone” is the significance of this verb.
