Yesterday, I went to Iglesia San Martin to make my monthly donation sponsoring one of the church youth’s schooling expenses. As I entered the courtyard, Maria – the church’s secretary, asked if I could take a photo. She knows she normally sees me with my camera strapped to my side. I am probably the only [...]
