Since
being home from the hospital/Asuncion we have had 3 days in a row of missionary
visits....all coming to help in my recovery (bringing food, helping clean). We cannot say enough how much we love our SIM
Paraguay team mates and value their friendship.
Several neighbors and friends from San Francisco have come by to
visit. They’ve brought fresh milk, yogurt,
bread, homemade cheese and vegetables from their garden.
You
know you live in a friendly culture when.....Jeff needed to change a poopy
diaper while at friend’s house. He went
to the car to get the diaper and realized that there were no wipes. He went to the store across the street to ask
if they had any. Their response, “We
don’t sell those. But we’ll change your
baby for you.”
Even
though Julia can say (almost) all her siblings’ individual names, she prefers
to call them all Joshua.
Julia
calls Ginny “Nee-naw” and Tyler is “Ty-lor”.
I
don’t know why, but Julia calls all her Paraguayan friends, “Baba”.
I
love the look on Julia’s face as she tries to protect the guinea pig from a
very curious cat.
we're such a friendly family - here our cat Boots is giving the guinea pig a hug.
Did
you know that moving is even stressful for chickens? When we mentioned to our neighbors that our
chickens were still not producing eggs they’d say, “Give them more time; chickens
don’t handle change well.” Exactly a
month after the move, they all began laying eggs again. It took them longer to get settled into their
new home then it took us!
Micah’s
job is to collect eggs throughout the day, a job he takes very seriously.
10-8-12. What a good start to the week (except for the
heat!). We put a big dent in
homeschooling. I had a great visit with
a neighbor today and went out of my comfort zone telling the Elijah/Mt Carmel
story. I am continually amazed that God
would chose to use me in spite of and despite of my weaknesses and
imperfections. Jeff was on cloud 9 after
a leaders’ meeting in San Francisco. God
is doing some amazing faith building things and the men are stepping up to the
challenge!
