Our two interns arrived Thursday (2-10) and Friday (2-11). Courtney is a friend of our family from Texas. I lived with her family as a nanny back in 1997 when she was 10 years old. We haven’t really seen each other since, so it’s hard to believe that she is finishing her masters in public health. We’re so glad she chose to do her internship with us. Joel is a 4th year medical student from Canada. He will actually find out what residency he got into the day he gets back from this trip. We didn’t know him before but are enjoying doing so now. His suitcase didn’t arrive, poor guy, and we had no time to wait around in Asuncion for it. Hopefully it will come in Monday and team mates can bring it out Thursday. For now, he’s dressing a lot like Jeff.
Please pray for them as they live with Paraguayan host families, eat not-so-wonderful food at times (at least not to our North American palate), hear lots of Guarani (neither has studied Spanish or, of course, Guarani), and battle the heat. Pray that they will be open to all God has for them during this trip.
WE GOT TO DRIVE OUR CAR HOME!
We are thrilled to finally be driving our big black beast of a car. We shipped it July 2nd from the US, it arrived in Paraguay December 13th and finally February 11th all the paperwork was ready for us to be able to drive it legally.
First Paraguay road trip with this car. Yeah! Our intern are with us, plus 5 of our 6 kids....plus a couple extra kids.
