Monday we had lunch with Dick Ackley, our SIM regional rep. He was such a wealth of encouragement.
Thursday we had lunch with the missions pastor at a local church. He took time out of his busy schedule to hear our vision for reaching Paraguayans for Christ.
Thursday evening we ate dinner with some new friends and had a very blessed time.
Saturday we met friends (who we knew from our Lubbock days), who are now living in Waco. They are currently raising support and hope to be able to move to Uganda in January. What a joy it was to hear the ministry vision God has put on their heart. They have four girls (same ages as my kids) who they home school. We hope to see them again before they leave.
The Forester Family (missinaries to Uganda) and us
Last night we were invited to eat dinner at Jeff’s best friend from high school’s parent’s house.
Each time we share about Paraguay I realize how much I love serving there. We feel so honored that God would choose my family to minister in San Francisco, rural Paraguay. He has allowed us to learn from incredible missionaries, to have favor in the eyes of the town, to witness a harvest of godly Paraguayan men and women and to fall in love with Him more each day. To God be the glory!
Today we head to Harlingen (where we used to live). We will be staying in 3 different homes over the two weeks. There’s a “welcome back” party planned, beach trips and zoo trips planned, and several dinner appointments. Jeff will share at 2 churches and once at the residency. He will also share in Mexico one day at a school for Pastors. Pray for us – a safe journey (6 hours) and blessed reunions.
