Can anyone help me???????
I found out the other day that we can now send Memo e-mails. They are willing to read them to him and send messages back to us. The only catch... is they must be in Espanol.....
 No hablo mucho Espanol. Can anyone help me? Is there anyone who is fluent in Spanish who would be willing to translate short e-mail notes for us and send them back to me in Spanish so I can forward them onto my angel in Guatemala? I will be forever in your debt....  Thank you in advance. HUGS

I know it's summer and most colleges/school are done for the year, but you might try a) asking a Spanish major at a local college to assist you
b) contacting a Spanish teacher from a local high school or middle school and ask them to assist you or to recommend an upper-level student who could help. Lots of high school and college students need "service hours" and/or many of us in the education field seem to have the personality where we want to help and "make a difference" in the community as well as the classroom. Best Wishes. Prayers are with you and Memo.
