For
these I am thankful (#17)...
visitors
We
really do enjoy having people stay with us whether it is missionaries from
Paraguay coming for a weekend or interns or families from North America coming
for a month or more. It is encouraging
to have people take an interest in what we are doing. So if you have any
inkling....COME VISIT US...you never know what kind of adventures you will have
in our neck of the woods!
The
first weekend in November, our team mates came for a visit. The kids had a blast setting off firecrackers
together.

holding a chicken for the first time!
The 2nd weekend in November, the Salinas’ (missionary
family from Paraguay) came to visit us.
They pruned my trees, worked in my garden, and brought us Dr
Pepper. It was pouring down rain on
Sunday when they left. It took them FIVE
hours to drive what takes us 45 minutes to drive on a good day! They got stuck
SEVEN times – once they were close enough for Jeff to help them out, once they
were pulled by a passing tractor and the other times Gayna and her 13 year old
son pushed them out!
Ginny and their daughter working on Christmas crafts.
The 3rd weekend in November, we picked up a medical
intern from Canada who will be with us for a month. She will be shadowing Jeff in the mornings,
having classes, doing house calls or visiting with us in the afternoon, and
learning how to clip chicken wings in her spare time (photo below).
It
doesn’t get more Paraguayan than this – attending a patient in a hammock while
drinking terere
The 4th weekend in November a team mate came out
to visit us. She has been serving in
Paraguay for many years, but had never visited us. We all had a great time.

You're really driving me crazy! I WANT TO VISIT THE McKISSICKS!!! ME, ME, ME! I reckon it'd be best to wait until a. We have a 4x4 again, or b. I can walk in case we bog down and hoof it the rest of the way. I'm betting your road's not VW-friendly, huh? :) Hope to get out there soon.
