On August 8th, Sue, rose and I will be flying out of Boston's Logan Airport for a 12 day mission trip to Paraguay.  We thank everyone who helped support making this trip possible through donations and prayer.  We continue to ask for your prayers from now until we return on the 19th.

Our missionary contacts in Paraguay are working on setting up programs for us.  We don't know all the details yet but some possible venues include: public and private schools, the Asuncion city dump, the men's prison, churches around the capital city, and a church 'plant' in Ciudad Del Este, five hours from where we'll be staying.  This last city intrigues us, as it is the location of the Iguazu Falls, a system of waterfalls that is one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  (See it here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_CV1P_ydpA )  While the title of this video says Brazil and Argentina, all three countries converge at this point.  Apparently, when Eleanor Roosevelt first saw Iguazu Falls, she said, "Poor Niagara!"

So, tourism aside, we are very much excited to go and work alongside career missionaries in Paraguay.  One of the missionary families has two daughters ages 11 and 13, which will make it very nice for Rose.  We will be happy to report back to your churches when we return with, I'm sure, many stories of how God worked during I'm time in South America
