I just thought I would introduce you to our newest member of the family: Zoe. She is a Labrador Retriever, and she has quickly become well-loved by everyone. Sherry took a picture of each of the kids with Zoe on a Sunday afternoon.
We bought a dog for protection, and she has also added joy to our family. She has a unique personality, and she is growing fast. Hopefully, in the next few months, we will be able to get our other Lab, Sydney, and our chihuahua, Bruno, from the States. They make our family bigger and give us a feeling of home. We miss them.
Anyway, it may seem strange to some of you that I would put our new pet, Zoe, on a blog. I just wanted to show you that life in Paraguay still goes on even though we are far from home. We still have the everyday living, work, school, cleaning, cooking, etc. that we always had in the States. So, we wanted to make Paraguay a little more like home. We all love dogs, and they also give us some more added protection.
Every day, it feels more like home here. We are adjusting quickly to the culture, food, and lifestyle here. It is totally different than anywhere in the United States, and it is fun learning how to live in Paraguay. Our family has made many new friends, and we are all enjoying times when we meet new people. Now that we have been here a couple of months, we are starting to fit in and beginning to get to the task at hand.
In a couple of weeks, our shipment should be sent from the United States, and we should be able to start the drama soon. In the meantime, we are practicing Spanish, getting ready to teach in the Bible school, trying to get our house finished so we can move in, attending meetings, and going to as many churches as possible to meet more pastors and members.
Blessings to all,
Charley
