e To be quiet honest folks, I have no idea what to fill you in on. Life in Paraguay is just wonderful right now. The days are getting shorter, but also cooler. Relationships with neighbors, students, church members and host families continue to build. The hair on my head continues to grow, just as waistbands shrink and expand with every additional ¨chipa¨ (bagelish bread made from corn flour and cheese) that´s eaten. You only live in Paraguay once, right?!

As April comes to a close, it´s been a busy month for Craig and I. Well, the first 11 days were lazily spent on a group vacation-Visa renewal time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and then to Montevideo, Uruguay. Once we returned, all our free time from teaching, was spent in the Mennonite World Conference offices entering registration forms from the Carribean, Central and South America. The deadline for Paraguay was March 31, unfortunantely the day we all left for vacation. We came back to see hundreds of registrations waiting for us to enter. In the month of April alone, they´ve told us that we registered close to 2,000 people for the conference. It´s coming up folks! :) As of right now the running total is around 4,000 people in total, 1,500 being from Paraguay. They hope, and are expecting this number to continue to rise in the near future. (We´re getting to the point where there´s not much else BUT a near future.)

Feel free to check out our new pictures on blogger, and rest assured that we are still alive.
