Paraguay...un mundo sus el propios

as we ascended into asuncion, paraguay, we knew we would be meeting a country very unique from anything other.. we have not been let down.. pictures do not do justice..

a market...lots of cheese just sitting in the open...meat hanging in the back...


after the rain...the buses somehow manage not to get stuck in this...


Artegua...a small village that is known for their pottery...Tyler checked out the process... quite time consuming but keeps them busy...


you´ll see anything...horses, oxen, cars, buses...


a native Guarani women in town waiting for the bus...


sara with sarita.. came running to meet us.. a worthwhile sight after a 7 hour overnight bus trip.. it´s been 2 years since sara was here.. the family was overjoyed..




chingolo,gladys, joel, david, sarita.. in front of their home.. they have a small bakery.. they work 6 days/week.. their day begins at 3am when they start baking.. doing much better then when sara was there.. they can all afford to come to convention this year.. had amazing fellowship.. chingolo used to be the town drunk/fighter.. a completely changed man..




the road to chingolos.. 10 minutes after we left, the rains came and made the roads impassable.. spun in he sand regardless..




senora henada.. came for a study.. she lives on the "west-side".. very poor and dirty - yet wonderful to see such a clean heart..


confession time at the catholic church.. hope the bishopa understands..


having a great time.. cant wait to share more..
