Paraguay, the happiest country in the world!
Paraguay has been said to be the happiest country in the world. Everything is very relaxed here. One of the main pastimes is drinking Tereré. The way that the people here sit in groups, talk, and relax reminds me a lot of Andy and Barney relaxing on the front porch (from the Andy Griffith Show).
Tereré is more than just the national drink here in Paraguay. It is a way to spend time with friends and share what is going on, a source of hydration, offers natural health remedies for just about everything, is a direct connection to local history, and so much more. Sharing the same cup with your friends is a way to show that you care and you value spending time with them.
Here are some excellent videos that explain really well about the people of Paraguay and some reasons why they are happy. We hope you enjoy these videos and learn something new.

Blog Name Change!!!
I just realized that we can now change the name of our blog from "Our Journey to Paraguay" to "Our Journey in Paraguay"!!!
We are learning so much about the culture, language and people here now. We are still getting settled in, getting used to living here, learning where things are, learning how things work here, etc. We still have SO MUCH MORE to learn! Thanks for keeping us in your prayers! Some days are better than others, and your prayers really mean a lot to us.
We are also starting to be able to see first-hand the needs that are around us. Some of the needs are ones that God has shown us before (and we are learning more about them and what God is wanting to do). We are also learning of other needs, and we are continually praying about what God wants us to be doing next.
We hope to be able to share some stories here on our blog in more detail than is possible in other places, but it may take some time to get the stories on this blog. We are new to writing and blogging, so please bear with us. We have a vision of sharing stories here about people we meet and what God is doing here in Paraguay.
And, if you don't already know... here are other places where we share other information, updates, pictures, and videos:
