Things are going well, as they have the whole time we´ve been here. Right now we´re getting ready for a little sight seeing and vaccation with my brother, who arrives tomorrow night. He´ll be here for a week and in addition to an as-USAmerican-as-possible-in-paraguay Thanksgiving dinner, we will be seeing the sights of Asuncion and visiting some of our favorite restaurants.
Our work at the library continues, we are almost done identifying a list of subjects for each book, and the next step which we hope to start this week is to begin to create a MS Access Database that will be searchable and allow people to check books out. After that, it´s on to other projects!
A few pictures here of the work in Fernando. When we arrived here this was an old rotted out shell of a one story building and people were begining demolition. Now the roof is almost finished and it´s starting to take the shape of rooms and hallways.
Things are peaceful around the house, just Sarah and I, and we´ve been spending a lot more time watching TV and listening to Podcasts. We got iTunes, and or favorites right now are This American Life and Car Talk. On TV we have been watching House, CSI, Eli Stone, and the occasional movies (which are always on.) It´s nice because it´s all in english.
OK one last thing I wanted to tell you about here. I added a link in the sidebar and I will post it here as well. Our good friend Ellen Ranson is preparing to head to Nicaragua to be involved in some mission work there. Ellen is sarah´s suite-mate from college and has been a good friend of ours for a long time, and we know she will be doing great work for the Kingdom of God. If you are looking for another volunteer missionary to support after we´re finished, please consider her work! You can read about her coming adventures here, and we will keep this link in our sidebar. Thanks!
