HERE WE GO!
Friday, May
26th we left the city.
First stop:
Caacupe. The basillica in Caacupe houses
the shrine to the Virgin Mary and is a Mecca for Paraguayan Catholics.
Second stop:
Lunch in Chololo.
Third stop:
to buy rain boots in Paraguari.
Final stop:
The Bowen’s house in Escobar. We spent
three nights at the Bowen's. It is a time
of orientation to Paraguay and Guarani.
Saturday morning the students completed a ropes course at Mbatovi. It was a wet day.
The monkey
has been traveling with us. It’s very
spoiled.
Class time
with Andy.
Students had
6 hours of Guarani class which is just long enough to realize that language
learning isn’t easy and, well, that’s the point. Language learning in the setting of
cross-cultural ministry is a life long learning process.
The students
also had a Paraguayan history class.
One evening
we had worship and heard the testimonies of Andy and Lizet. The second evening we watched The Mission
which is based on the Jesuit’s history in Paraguay. And on the third night we
had s’mores around the bonfire.
It’s always
such a wonderful time at the Bowen’s.
May 29th
we headed to Jataity.
