Paul told us ...Dear Mrs. Morales & Mrs. Yollis<br /><br />Paul told us the other day how much he enjoyed your presentation of Mexican culture and home-made enchiladas. We don't eat much Mexican food. But once in a while we go to Mexican restaurants to eat burritos and enchiladas. Paul said that the enchiladas you made was very good. <br /><br />I have to comment on the story of Pepita. I happened to read it myself as well. It was well written and very educational. This can be a good reflection of children of the second or third generations of other nations. As the world is becoming smaller and smaller, it is so important and useful to learn and have a good command of the second foreign language. By the end of the story, Pepita realized that her Spanish was so vital and it saved her pet. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Matthew (Paul's dad)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-33656108236009868742010-05-18T19:34:35.625-07:002010-05-18T19:34:35.625-07:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,
