Goodbye and thank you
After a few short weeks, we’re now leaving our training community. We’ve had some great times here, enjoyed some outstanding hospitality, and spoken more Spanish than we ever thought we could. It’s been frustrating from time to time, but it’s also been a tremendous amount of fun. Las Piedras has been great as a community and our families have been wonderful as individuals.
With their help, we’re ready to head out into Paraguay and begin our service. We’ll be back for an in-service training session in three months, and we all hope we can speak a little better, understand a little more, and share some interesting stories.
Pictured below is my training class, G-24 RED. From left, we´re Andrew, Will, me, Brennan, Betsy, David, and Stuart.
The Guaraní word of the day is sy, meaning mother. Che sy has been everything I could ask for in a host mom, and I’ll miss her.

What a great looking group! Congrats to everyone. I can’t wait to hear the next chapter! Hope you continue to be as happy as you are.
All is well in Georgia, just HOT and DRY. Had a great visit last week with Molly, Morgan and two of his buddies from SC. I’m recuperating!
Love you.

[…] The Guaraní word of the day is ao poi, which is generally used to describe the traditional hand-embroidered Paraguayan dress shirt. Its literal breakdown is ao, meaning clothing, and poi, meaning fine. We were all wearing ao poi in our training class photo, posted a few entries back. […]
