Coming Home
Had a great day at the Friesland Colony today thanks to Werner and Marlene. We got back to their house at around 8 p.m. in the midst of a thunderstorm. When arriving home we discovered there was no power and enjoyed our meal around candle light. The power came back on about an hour later. We are now trying to get everything in our bags and will be leaving for the airport at 8 tomorrow morning. Looking forward to arriving home sometime Thursday.

More Iguazu Falls
Below are some more photos from our trip last weekend to Iguazu Falls. It{s nice to have a free evening to upload some photos. During the last six days, we woke up between 630 and 7 in the morning and returned between 9 and 930 in the evening.
More Pictures
Judy and I in the bus station at Ciudad del Este, showing off ourmasks.

Tiawan
Unfortunately, Yulin from Tiawan was unable to come. However, we were able to meet Pastor Lee from Tiawan who Yulin knew. Below is a picture of him with Judy and I and also a caricature that he drew of Judy and I at the beginning of one of the worship services at the conference.
In the Neighborhood
Judy standing in front of Renates house which is next to the seminary.
These pictures show a very sharp contrast of families and homes, all within about a mile. On this brief tour this afternoon by Werner and Marlene, we learned more about the culture and needs within this area. A few blocks the other direction is downtown which has a very different look and feel with many open shops, busy sidewalks and streets filled with buses, cars, horse and carts, and people.
Below is a street directly across from the entrance to the seminary.
Below are two more pictures of houses across the street from the seminary.
Below is an area a few blocks away where families have been given an open area to settle on.
Contrast this with the house below that is also nearby.
