Oh what adventure today has been!
After three days of finding our way through the city, our final test has come. This morning we were blindfolded and taken to an unknown location and told to find our way back. The adventure begins!
Team Paraguay was dropped off in a Spanish neighborhood with nothing but a map to direct us. But never fear- we knew where we were. :) After feeling quite confident about our location, we took the time to work on our Spanish at a near by flea market. Spanish was being spoken everywhere and I found myself not feel nervous but rather excited for the challenge. One food vendor held a Spanish conversation with Naomi and I about her produce. Melons, pinas y tomates are a few of the many fresh produce that added color to the market.
Later, while eating lunch at the Resturante de patio, I told the team "a couple of months from now, we will be eating together in Paraguay". Together we will soon be embarking on a journey of a life time.
But never fear-- God is leading the way.
