After staying with Daniel and Faith, we headed to Joe and Ramona's for a few days. It's a blessing in a different way to be a guest instead of a hostess! We were blessed with sweet fellowship and yummy food! How come a home cooked meal tastes better when someone else cooks it?? We had such a fun time visiting I forgot to take very many pictures. :) The kids and I met Julia and her children at a nearby zoo. While the kids napped, we chatted. Justin got to meet Julia's Paraguayan hubby, Nestor. He even got to sample some Paraguayan tea! ;)





Ramona got up early to make us a big delicious breakfast yesterday morning. Joe and Justin were already discussing theological questions over coffee. ;) Before we left, Joe asked Nestor to pray for us. To our surprise, he started praying in Spanish or Guadanee...we were able to pick out a few words we knew: gracias and Senor :) Joe assured us it was a "good prayer" and quickly interpreted what he said. We are looking forward to seeing them before too long. We also talked about visiting them in Paraguay. Justin gets 10 weeks off in the winter...and spending some extended time in another country is on our todo list before our kids grow up. ;) It would be good for us to be out of the USA and see how the Lord is working around the world.
