I'm a student midwife and lactation consultant in Harlingen, Tx and so it is neat to hear childbirth traditions in other countries. <BR/><BR/>Amy, I have to say thank you for the amazing strides you took to promote breastfeeding here. I did a 2 yr lactation internship at Vbmc and without your pioneering the program I do not know what breastfeeding mothers would have done then and now (including me-you were my LC many yrs ago. In fact I was a patient with the residency clinic and saw your husband too). <BR/><BR/><BR/>I now have my own private practice ( lactation, childbirth ed, Doula) now but the Vbmc LC is wonderful and I pray they continue with the breastfeeding services. <BR/><BR/>Your work is still recognized here and blessing others. I'll pray for your family and mission. <BR/><BR/>God bless , Nicole Hoff <BR/>Ps. We have a mutual friend in Brooke Burns and that's how I found this blog.Nicole Hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286698243641642600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532108740088220631.post-58631557253807975822008-09-21T21:26:00.000-07:002008-09-21T21:26:00.000-07:00I know this was a few posts ago, but I laughed out...I know this was a few posts ago, but I laughed out loud at this one:<BR/>"As we were getting ready to go to a funeral I told all the kids to behave – no running, laughing or loud talking. I mentioned that it would be appropriate to look sad. As we got out of the car Ginny turned to our friend and said, “Mommy wants us to pretend to be sad.” During the funeral Ginny saw tears in my ears and she commented, “You are a very good pretender.”<BR/><BR/>Kids say the funniest things!!<BR/><BR/>Love ya friend!!!!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138464207980397442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1532108740088220631.post-28933546021337680252008-09-20T12:18:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:18:00.000-07:00Oh wow!

This was such an interesting post, Amy. Thank...Wow. This was such an interesting post, Amy. Thank you! It reminds me of Paraguay's true lostness. In Villarrica, it's so much more "urban" and the bondage is seen more in sexual depravity, gossip, substance abuse, sexual depravity, pride, discrimination, and sexual depravity. It's easy to forget the non-western bondage in the rural areas. Thank you.paraguayalyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243071195576021249noreply@blogger.com
