We try to stay out of
the capital city and in the country as long as possible, but as it turns out,
we end up making the five plus hour drive to Asuncion about every 4 to six
weeks. There are dentist appointments
(remember those monthly tightening of braces), car problems to solve (Lord
knows we’ve had tons of car problems), team mates/interns to welcome or to say
good-bye to, or we need to come in for team meetings. Relocating our big family even for a couple
days is a big ordeal and being away makes it hard to maintain consistency in
ministry.
In May, we made a
record three trips to Asuncion. Ryan
took three AP tests which required two trips into Asuncion. Boy, am I glad that I can check that
milestone off! And now we are back in
the city for dental appointments and car maintenance and, most excitingly, to
pick up 6 interns who will be with us for 6 weeks.
It’s
good to have traditions, even on the road.
We like to stop and get chipa!
Since our dog, Maya, has been too young to leave at home, she has come
up to the city with us
Ordering Chinese food on one of our trips into
Asuncion.

To celebrate Joshua’s birthday and Ryan finishing
his AP tests, I took my boys out to dinner.
