Life in Paraguay

The other day I said in very broken spanish to my host mom, ¨muchos cosas para mi escribir¨.

What I was trying to say was there are so many events for me to discribe that I don´t know where to start. How can I manage to discribe what I have seen and learned so far.

Well- first of all it is improtant to know how loving and beautiful the people of Paraguay are. Their unconditional love and hospitality has made me feel very welcomed. The past couple days I have gotten to know people in my neighborhood, host family, and members of numberous Mennonite churches in Asuncion. I have felt especially welcomed by my host family as they have made many sacrifices to have me in their home such as taking time to explain the spanish language, providing dairy free food and inviting me so freely into their lives.

For the next three weeks, me and my Radical Journey teammates will be taking the time to work on our Spanish-which can be quite humerous at times- and becoming familiar with Asuncion. This time of orientation has been very helpful as we begin to get situated in our homes.

Some days I look around me and wonder why I am here. Why is it that God called me to Paraguay. Throughout these next 10 months I want to be open to whatever God has instore for me. I have no clue where that may take me, but I am ready for a ´radical journey´.
