People just do not realize in this country. MKs & some PKs know TP is a luxury.

A four hour walk to church. Most people here get upset if they are not in the first couple spots in the church parking lot. Walk more than 150 feet to church. Unlikely.
Love these postings
I thought of you when I picked the words for Thesaurus Thursday this week....do you know them??
TP is definitly a luxury. And that Charmin stuff in the US? LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN!!!
I love these pictures. What wonderful memories these are for you and your family.
Venezuela is such a beautiful country.
Here I was wondering what on earth was TP!!! (got a big laugh when I finally understood!)
Rita, we miss you too..
Abrazos!
Simply amazing photos, Rita.
so many people don't know what our missionaries go through on a day by day, hour by hour basis, only the highlights.
Bless ya'll, and the kids!
Oh I remember that cute outfit Jewel is wearing, the one with the stars! What a cutie patootie she was, now she is simply gorgeous! but Rita, where did all those cute little children go? *wiping tears*
Oh my goodness! The last little girl in line on the walk to church looks just like the Diva!
You are soo good to share the road of missionaries for us!! We are blessed to know that you could go "for US'!! And with such perserverence and diligence!!
Thanks for a view into the "travel" aspect of the work".
I know how your heart longs to be back on the mission field!!
