Asuncion is definitely our home away from home. We find ourselves heading up to the city (5 hour drive) about once a month for various reasons - mission meetings, airport runs, orthodontic work, car maintenance, etc. This month we had to go to Asuncion for Ginny and Joshua to take their PSAT.
This is what the road leading out of our town looked like as we left for Asuncion. The bridge was completely underwater. We had to take turn around and take the back roads.
When we travel, we take Zoe.

MAKAYLA at 10 MONTHS
October 10, 2017
Currently Makayla is LOVING her mommy. I’m flattered. Her face lights up when she sees me which is
definitely a heart melter. However, she
lets out a shrill cry any time someone (including Jeff) tries to take her from
me.
Currently she is 20lbs.
Currently she is sporting two bottom teeth. A top tooth is ready to pop through any day
now.
She is currently not sporting a bump or a bruise which is
nice since she is at that stage where she falls a lot.
She is currently NOT a champion sleeper. Jeff and I have tried lots of things to get
her to sleep in her crib all night long.
Bottom line is this: she is a cuddle-bug and needs physical touch ALL
NIGHT LONG.
Car problems…it took 3 vehicles to help our one vehicle. we were stuck in Asuncion until our car was out of the shop.
On
the way home from Asuncion our car stalled no less than 5
times. Jeff had to get out each time,
get under the van and jiggle wires. we stopped at another missionary's house to stay the night. Jeff and Greg worked on the car and and, praise God, we didn't have any more troubles the follow day driving home.
