MARCH VISITORS

Jeff’s second cousin, Patricia is a biology professor at ACU (Abilene Christian University). This semester she is teaching at ACU’s study abroad in Uruguay and during spring break she decided to come visit us. It was a blessing to have her here. She sat in with Jeff in the mornings as he saw patients, she went visiting with me in the afternoons, and she played with the kids and helped with the new baby pig. One the day of her departure, Jeff walked her to the bus stop at 6:45AM. At 6 she called saying that the bridge had collapsed under the bus and now the bus was stuck. Thankfully everyone was safe. Jeff transported her and 9 others to the next town an hour away. There he checked the bus schedule. No luck. They went to the next town another 1 ½ hours away. No luck. Jeff ended up driving her all the way to Asuncion.





Just a reminder of what our bridges look like.



Our second guest was Matt, a missionary in a different city in Paraguay. He has some big decisions to make as his mission organization is pulling out of Paraguay. He wanted to come visit, meet us and see what SIM is doing in the rural area of Paraguay.
