Day four in Quyquyho

Day four in Quyquyho.

We’ve only been here for four days but it feels like I’ve known the kids for months. Even though I can’t communicate with many words, there’s no shortage of understanding between any of us.

Today we spent the day at an outlying school giving talks on various subjects, art lessons, playing games and music with the kids there. When we pulled up there was about 14 motorcycles parked outside of the school. It’s the only secondary school in the area so some kids ride for miles to get to school.

For lunch we stopped at an elderly Paraguayan couple’s home. They host a church at their house which meets underneath the mango tree in their backyard. The gentleman and his wife shared some songs with us. Carlos, Guillermo’s father, translated the songs for us. Some of the lyrics were so strong and powerful. Speaking of “the great sacrifice that Jesus made for us. It was such a great sacrifice yet why don’t we follow him. All we have to do is simply accept him” Powerful words from a Paraguayan Hymn.

After lunch we went back to the school for round two in the afternoon. We’re now back at the home resting for a bit before our movie showing tonight. We are hosting a community cinema. We’ll be showing “To Save A Life” in espanol. Pray that many people would come and watch this movie.

Hasta Luego
