How long has gone by? I just haven't felt like blogging lately...that is the only truth. I do more facebook, which I find easier, these days. Lots and lots of things have happened since my family and I moved to Salto, Uruguay, in June. My husband and sons came before the rest of us to find a suitable home, and they found a very nice one, for which we are very thankful. We've found Uruguay to VERY DIFFERENT from Venezuela in many ways, and I think we are finally getting accustomed to it! Some friends of ours came in September, bearing schoolbooks and our other books, and with the purpose too of participating in the first service of Iglesia Bautista Camino de Fe. That has been wonderful, starting the church... It's a great privilege to serve GOD in this way. Anyway, the kids and I have started school and we find ourselves very busy again! We have also had company many times, for which we are thankful too! We have many friends here in Salto, for whose salvation we are praying. Four of the five children are participating in a sport, 3 in basketball and one in rugby. Can you guess which one is in Rugby? That is an interesting sport... Hopefully, I will be back on here more often...Sorry for the ausencia! God bless...

I decided to come by, expecting nada... I about fell out of my chair!
I need tog et a facebook account, mainly to keep up with my kids and nieces and nephews.LOL! And you!
It is strange here too. I feel right at home, and then, BOOM! Something very different will happen to let me know this is not Venezuela.
I did learn to never refer to a child as an hembra!!! Big no-no!!!!
And another word, which you and I would never use, is common word here for being funny! My girls are mortified to hear it in the pulpit!
We will have to take Jewel out of the country sometime in December to renew her VISA, we may go to Ciudad del Este then. Clint and Brian are there now.
LOL! I'm so used now to facebook, that I don't blog either.
Rita, you should surrender to FB!
Hey girls! Don't know how much I'll be blogging...check back every once in a while. I'm an fb-er now, como Liz...I know what you mean about making speech mistakes, JM....you're not supposed to say conchale or concha here or pedir la cola (I guess that's exactly what you might get!!!) Something that sounds fuerte to me is echar en vez de botar. Suena fuerte, eh? I'm with Liz...cuando te vemos en fb, Rita?
Oh boy... one should never say concha in the south! I Know!! Funny thing is that once you are aware of it, you tend to say it more :-{
Yikes!
Here the do not TOCAR tiembres, They GOLPEAR everything.
And the 'r's' are very strong. They all sound like gringos with bad accents! (like me!)
I'm afraid of facebook! I never meant to have a blog that had so many readers that now i feel obligated to write something everyday! It's like taking care of a baby. What if FB becomes like another baby!?!?!?!
Don't worry...fb is not a baby, I don't feel NEAR as obligated as I did with my blog. In fact, I felt such a guilt trip that I gave up altogether! Another funny thing here, instead of "paso a buscar las llaves", paso a "levantar" las llaves. Yo encuentro esto graciosisimo!
And they eat panetone all year long!
They call it pan dulce here...and sweet bread they call budin...whatever
Do you have chipa?
I would eat panettone all year long... oh well! no country is ever perfect ;-)
BUT, there are NO platanos here!!!
Yeah.. you told me! My hubby and son could not live there -ever. In this household there's no lunch without platanos.
I wonder why aren't there any platanos in Paraguay?? It's latinamerica!!! Beats me!
PS: my son 'hates' panettone... frutillas and raisins are almost a bad word for him ;P
