A month in Paraguay. Come and hang out with us

Sept 3RD:  SLOWING DOWN

I woke up at 6 and made tea. Nancy and I shared tea and read from our book about 45 min. I packed my back and caught the bus towards the Universidad Nacional de Encarnacion. I live two blocks from the bus station and about 7 miles from the university.  My classes go from 7:30-12:30. It rained all morning.

We had lunch at about 1 pm. (lunch is the big meal of the day) and then Nicole read from her little devotional booklet. After the reading of scripture, our conversation took a spin into what the bible says about the end times and how God will gather us in that final day. Nicole had tears in her eyes as we shared about the work of atonement of Christ for us. I believe teenagers can be very sensitive to the Spirit and some often struggle with the security of their salvation. Nicole asked, if God came back to take us right after a committed a sin, like getting upset with someone, will I not make it to heaven. I remember struggling with the security of my salvation at about that age.



The day was cold and rainy. The weather has been crazy. This is the longest winter in more than a decade. We have had cold cool days since April. As I am writing this, we are in the high 40’s  F. Most homes are not isolated or equipped with heating units, which makes these cold fronts very real.

Saturdays, whenever we are not speaking at a church or involved in some kind of event, we try to slow down the pace.  In another hour or so, we will have another cup of tea and then called it a day. Thanks for hanging out.

Christmas in Paraguay!

If you're wondering what Paraguayans do at Christmastime, they have some great traditions , including the " noche buena " meal on Christmas Eve at midnight.  They eat lots chipa guasu (a type of corn casserole, stay tuned for a recipe), asado or grilled meat (some eat it cold), salads, especially fruit salad, watermelon and drink mucho terere . Families travel from all over the country, many even return from working in other countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Spain, to celebrate with loved ones. This is us at last year's Kurrle celebration in Asuncion. Festivities are anything but a silent night with fireworks, loud music and drinking cidra (hard cider).  Most Paraguayans do not decorate Christmas trees (we decorate ours in shorts!) or emphasize Santa Claus.  Instead, they put beautiful nativities " pesebres " in their yards and in store fronts.  Kind of novel to focus on Christ at Christmas, isn't it! To beat the heat, many Paraguayans g...

Paraguayan Weddings

On Valentine’s Day, we had the joy of attending the wedding of Sandra and Anastacio, young leaders in the church. Sandra is my assistant with Children of Promise and Anastacio, apart from his carpentry job, has a popular youth-focused radio program every night at 8:00 on our station. We’ve been to quite a few weddings, and these are some of the uniquenesses of southern Paraguayan wedding celebrations from our North American culture: 1. Nothing is fancy. Emphasis is placed on the act of marriage and not on the decorations or food. 2. It is not an expectation that parents help pay for expenses. Most families just make it each month with regular expenses and cannot afford to pay for eleborate feasts. Most couples have to spend months saving for their own wedding. 3. Borrow as much as possible. Many times wedding dresses are borrowed 5-10 times, because few women can afford their own. Flowers, decorations, shoes and ties (Norb loans out his ties often...since he never wears them!...

How to make Rosella (Roselle) Juice and Tea

This is rosella (not to be confused with grosella, which is gooseberry).  Rosella is from the hibiscus family. It's harvest time here, and we use the rosella to make juice and tea.  It's properties are absolutely tremendous.  It helps sooth colds, coughs, helps digestion, promotes healthy kidney function, is a treatment for cancer, and reduces a fever and that's just a few of its benefits!  To make rosella juice, first de-pit the fruit and wash the skin thoroughly. Put the fruit into boiling water until the water is bright red (about 15 minutes).  The color is so vibrant, Roselle is sold to make dyes.  Strain the fruit (which can be used to make a delicious jam) and refrigerate the juice.  Add a few squirts of Stevia for a healthy drink. The finished product looks exactly like red Kool-aid, but is entirely full of nutrients.  We can't get enough of it. We dehydrated the petals for hot tea.  All you need is two dried flowers to infus...
