Well hello to all...
I'm sure you all thought that we feel off the face of the earth and we did for awhile, but we're back! We just got the internet up and running tonight so i will attempt to up date as much as possible with our very busy days!
We arrived safely to our compound in Paraguay at 4am Monday morning, slept till 9am and started a full day of training and distributions...it was amazing! The debriefing time tonight was full of excitement as the team shared about what they saw and experienced. The clinics are amazing we saw 60 people in the eyeglass clinic, 16 through the dental clinic, and we lost track of how many went through the medical clinic!!! We handed out about 150 shoesboxes so be prepared to see lots of pictures when we get home.
It's very hot here we hit 42 degrees and they say with the humidity it's about 49 degrees. please pray that they kids can stay healthy in this heat, for safety as we travel to the different sites each day, and most of all that the love of God's would be evident in all that we say and do and that through our team many would come into relationship with God!
I will try to attach a couple pictures, hopefully it will work!
Blessings from Team Paraguay...and well talk to you soon.

It is so great to hear about your trip. 42 degrees! It is below zero here and we have had snow, rain and freezing rain in the last 24 hours so enjoy Paraguay. We continue to pray for your mission. (Tori's mom)
I'm glad to hear all your stuff arrived safely. I guess an A/C unit was not amongst it. I was just talking about you guys over breakfast.
Enjoy changing lives for his glory!
God bless.

Hi Josh,
It great to follow your trip so far. Heard its hot down there, well its quite the opposite here in Strathmore. Its -33 with the windchill and I have to start your car daily. Missing you lots, but I know you are making a difference in Paraguay. I will continue to pray that God will keep encouraging you and protect you. Love you...Mom
