Happy August everyone!
I have now been in Paraguay for over a month and its gone way too quick!
At the weekend the final two team member arrived in QQH. They had a couple of really hot days in Asuncion but by the time they got here the temperature had dropped a lot, and only yesterday started getting warmer again. You gotta love the crazy Paraguayan weather! The problem with this weather is that people get a lot of colds. Team leader Big Phil has spent a couple of days in bed witth a bad cold, that with the cold meant that no work was done for two days. But all the team are healthy again! Here in Paraguay if it is cold and/or raining then people tend not to go to work or school.
This morning me and Big Phil finally finished the kitchen at the girls house. Well it just needs cleaning, but apparently the girls are desperate to do that...We have been painting the walls white, but it doesnt matter how much paint we put on, brown keeps coming through from year and years of grease from the cooking in there.
The builder and the gardener have also finished extending the chicken run. So we now have happy chickens!
The other day at the lomiteria we met the most important person in QQH! He has a bodyguard who carries a gun! Apparently, his dad was murdered when he was in the same position, don´t you just love corruption...or not!
I just got distracted by a motorbike going past with 5 people on!
So this week we will hopefully be putting up the playground. Next week little Phil leaves us to go off to Rio! Also, some of you might know that I suffer from Raynauds disease, so if your into it, I´d appreciate some prayer for that, as when its cold here its makes it really hard for me to do a lot of the work easily when my fingers are really painful and I cant feel my toes, and it just makes me really cold too. Thank you!
Thank you for reading! See you again sometime next week!
