Horqueta is AMAZING!! Seriously, it is
paradise! First off, you can look out in almost every direction and see on into infinity: thick dark mangos trees spanning out to the horizon and tons
of palm trees spotting the fields. There are neighborhood parts but when you walk
down past the church house or to the out skirts of the area you just want to
take off flying. The church house is pequeña (small). It is darling, and
actually just a house and what I imagined the chapels to be like before coming to
paraguay.
It sits on an acre of beautiful green grass, with tons of fruit
trees alrededor (around).
My first day I used these two bathrooms that
were four brick walls... I entered the thin sheet door (bueno, one didn´t even
have a door) and the toilet was made of four bricks put together. The people are
so humble here. Wells, horses, dust, noodles, fruit, oh it´s
paradise. We are a branch of I would say 200 or more members but 30-60
asist every Sunday, and there are TONS of children and youth. My heart is
so full to be here. I love it. My companion is amazing as well!!
She is "That so Raven's" twin(tv show from 90's).. hilarious! She is from Guatemala and
loves to cook.
Today we got up at six to travel to Concepcion (45 minutes
from us) for a zone meeting and activity today. The elders cooked an asado
and Hermana Amado and I made salads and mandiaco (like potatoes). It was so
fun!!! Alright love you all chao chao!
