One Left!

Well, after 1 1/2 months, the little puppies started chewing on everything...even my front door.

Oscar took four to San Pedro on Monday. Sasha had 9...2 died.

One white one had blue eyes and one black one had one blue eye and one black eye.

We are down to just ONE LEFT!

A Movie Scene???

Today I was coming home from town and this little white car came at me from behind flashing it's lights and closer to my window a guy leaned out and screamed..."pull over. We're the police". I thought they were drunk or joking so I kept going. They sped in front of me and stopped, making me have to stop, too. I had some Argentine visitors with me and Edson. They all started praying when we saw four guys with four guns jump out of the car at us. They surrounded the car and one policeman pointed a gun at my (driver's) window and said, "open all the windows". I did, and asked, "what is going on" in unbelief! He looked in at all of us...gun pointing at my head. (The ladies in the back were still praying.) Then, he said. "Excuse me, Ma'am, there has been an armed robbery and this is the exact same car the the thieves were in. My advice would be to drive with all your windows down or you'll probably be stopped every mile down the road."

Here is the link from the ABC newspaper. (in Spanish)

Edson's version is quite interesting!

It was just so weird and so fast...I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time...

Praise God for His daily protection!

More of our adventure...

This is where the warm and cold waters meet in "Paso Carreta". The other pictures are of the scenery around this area.

December 8th

December 8th is a Holiday. Many Paraguayans take Route 2 to Caacupe for religious purposes, but we decided to take the scenic Route 1 going a different direction for a family outing.

We discovered a cold creek in Escobar and a larger creek in San Roque Gonzalez at the bottom of the Cerro Acahay. The interesting feature was that two creeks, one warm water and one cold water meet.

It was a good get-a-way from the Hot city and a nice family day...

You can see Brandon, Matt and Gaby in the pictures.

An Unexpected Guest

Yesterday our friend, Juan Carlos, called and told me that he was in town and wanted to talk to Oscar. He said that he would be here around 11 am, so I told him that we would plan on having him for lunch.

I was busy finishing up lunch, setting the table, and wondering where Juan Carlos was. It was getting close to noon.

All of a sudden, Edson came running into the kitchen, breathless and pulling my clothes hard. "Mom", he said, "Jesus is here...Come quick and look...Jesus is here!" I didn't think that Juan Carlos resembled Jesus, but when I finally walked out. I saw that he brought a friend (whose name was also Juan Carlos) who actually DID look like a modern-day Jesus (long hair-full, fluffy beard).

Both men stayed for lunch and Edson asked to pray before eating. Oscar started right in with the prayer and when he was done, Edson just broke into tears...He wanted to pray for "Jesus". He felt soooo bad that Oscar didn't let him. He sat across from "Jesus" but he made sure that he had water, food, and what ever else he needed. He actually thought this was Jesus.

The "Jesus" Juan Carlos left, and our friend stayed for the afternoon.

After Edson's nap, he came down and said, "mom, where's Jesus?" I said, "Edson that wasn't Jesus. That was Juan Carlos' friend." He still wasn't convinced.

At prayer time, before going to bed. Edson prayed once more: "Thank you...Jesus...for the visit today..."

...I am beginning to believe that maybe it just WAS Jesus!
