I am loving Paraguay! The weather here is so nice and warm. Today it has been raining so we went out to the hammocks and enjoyed the sound of the rain. Everything is so green and beautiful. I enjoyed the VBS we had last night. It was a joy to see all the children and be a part of the VBS. Andy led the songs and gave the lesson and everything was in Guarani, the local language. Lizet did the crafts. We were in charge of doing the games. It was interesting because we had to have Anna translate the instructions to the games. We saw right away that all of the kids are so good at soccer. There is a saying that I have heard: "Everyone smiles in the same language." Even though I can't communicate with most of the people, they all understand a smile.
It's been great staying with Andy and Lizet and their 2 boys, Lucas and Timmy. They have a beautiful home. Andy has been very helpful while we have been laying brick. Lizet is a wonderful cook! Lucas and Timmy are so energetic and have a lot of fun playing together with their toys. They showed us the huge toads that are common here. We are having a blast! -Kara
