JANUARY n PITCURES

January 5^th

Sarah came to visit us 1 ½ years ago and now she’s back! She’s a high school student from San Antonio.  We don’t know her parents very well but, I guess, well enough that they trust their daughter to our care.   Sarah has come down with the desire to teach English classes during the Paraguayan summer school break.  She will be with us 7 weeks.

 English class was a lot of fun.  Sarah and Grace (a peace corps worker) lead the classes.  Ginny, Don. Martha and I helped in small groups.  We had quite a few people come to class that first week, so we split into a morning and afternoon class.  We had about 30 students in those classes. 

 Even though is the Paraguay school's summer break, it isn't ours.

 Isn't this trash can fun?

 We had duckies hatch!

She;s finally pulling her weight around here.

 The days can be classified as hot, hotter and hottest.  Between our normal ministry things and daily living, we try to spend as much time outside under the fan sipping terere.  It’s amazing how much the constant heat (from early morning to late at night, inside and outside the house) zaps your energy.
