Sunday morning we attended another CMA church, the one in downtown
Asuncion, where a new pastor was being ordained. Then we went out to
lunch at a very nice restaurant where you make your own salad, and
they bring various meats to your table on a spit. We had a grand time.
In the late afternoon Brenda brought us to an internet cafe where we
were able to chat with Matthew on Yahoo Messenger. Ordinarily we would
have done this from the house, except that Robert and Brenda had to be
at the church, so we had to be in that neighborhood. Mary had a nice
chat with Matt for about 1-1/2 hours while I tried to find some gluten-free
snacks in the supermarket downstairs.
In the early evening we went to church at Robert and Brenda's church in
San Lorenzo. They did a puppet show for the children and the church was
packed. They had not had so many people in the church in years. All the
children in the audience, and about a dozen adults, responded to the
altar call. Robert wrote the script for the puppet show and it was very
funny. It was all in Spanish and we did not understand much of it,
but the children laughed a lot. And a lot of things like Jonah being
swallowed and/or regurgitated by the whale were done in visually
funny ways.
