The Guarani language border

Almost three years ago I launched a book titled "One Border at a time". I am working on translating it into Spanish this year.

It’s the story of an epic trip we took with our Chevy Suburban 1988 diesel 6.2 L engine (a beast) or blue cruiser. We left the USA in September 2002, and pulled into the driveway of a small rental home, in the town of Obligado Paraguay November 2002 (three months later).

So much has transpired over these past years. Other trips followed and other mission projects ensued.

With the passing of years we all have new borders to clear. There is one issue though; we get comfortable and often stop crossing new borders.

The excuses often sound like:

I don't have the energy anymore
I am too old for this
I don't have the time
I would rather let somewhere else do it.
I have been burned before - not again.

I find myself dealing with some of these excuses. Therefore I began studying Guarani about a year ago. I have lived in Paraguay many years but failed to learn the second most spoken language in this country. Guess what journey I embarked with DuoLingo this past year. Yes indeed.

Añemoarandu Guaranime - I am studying/learning Guarani

So here I am on a roll to conquer the language barrier. I already started using words when I speak with locals, and it's so well accepted that I am encouraged to really take it serious.

So here is another phrase I learned today.

Nande jahata jajogua kamby - We will go and buy milk

Ziglar often highlighted that even if you are moving slowly, as long as you are moving forward, you are on the right path to success

So my dear reader of these lines, keep moving and crossing new borders, - always forward no matter the speed.

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...
