Highlight of the Week: Boda y Baptismo!
Ok, it wasn`t our baptism, but the elders in our ward had a wedding and baptism this Saturday, and it was great - we even managed to drain the font the day after too, so we won`t have to deep clean it before the next baptism. . . :)
Easter (day) in Paraguay is. . . well, kind of normal. What they celebrate here is Semana Santa. Holy Week. I think it begins Monday, Lunes Santo. And lasts till Sunday (Pascua). Nobody has school, everyone`s on vacation in el Campo visiting family, and Viernes Santo is the holiest of the holy days, and NOBODY is in the streets. The colectivos don`t run, nothing is open. . . everything`s quiet. And everyone eats chipa and sopa paraguayo. Homemade chipa`s a little tough, but it`s good. . . I much prefer the sopa paraguayo (kind of like cornbread, not at all like soup).
We saw the biggest caterpillar EVER this week. It was as big around as my thumb. Kind of scary, but really cool. And it was outside, so todo tranquilo :)
We have cambios tomorrow, but I don`t think we`ll be changing. You never know, but I`m guessing we`re staying put.
