Wow, lots of great pics. I know you miss it and hope you're liking Paraguay almost as much? Thanks for sharing these with us, Rita.
Can't wait for more!!! It's so interesting!! Where is Woodi now? How happy you must have been when the screens came!! Did any of the people want some when they saw them? May the Lord continue to richly bless you and your family and your ministry!!!
How interesting to see your photos! I'm in awe, Rita -- to live in the jungle with your young children must have had special challenges in regard to health and sanitation, and probably not a doctor within easy reach.
You did lots of good work there! Looking forward to seeing more pix.
So interesting! Wow! I just can't imagine doing what you've done! But I do thank the Lord for your willingness to serve him!
In the top picture, Josh looks ready to repel boarders!
re "My clothes lines worked great... except for during rainy season, which lasts 6 months out of the year!"
