| Do me a huge favor and click on the "Bioumatta Homepage" link up top, will you? I want to know how user-friendly the thing is and whether or not I chose an appropriate excerpt under the goat. How does it read?
Thanks. I knew you cared about me that way.
Also, please visit http://www.projectparaguay.org/
I've been hard at work.

| I don't know if anyone reads this updater, but I was told that it would be wise for me to keep it going so people interested CAN. With that said, I am here to ask you for prayer for the Project Paraguay people here who are looking into reorganizing things (My insides yell, "YAY!!! CHANGE, EXPANSION, GOODNESS!!!") which would have quite a bit of impact on what goes on in El Renuevo, obviously. I desperately hope that God will really begin to get things moving now, because there is so much to be done in Paraguay and so much fire needs to be fanned!
I went down up to the Project Paraguay meeting this week and I feel like a mini-step or molehill has been surmounted, because God gave me the chance to confess to the committee my desire to participate in long-term missions in Paraguay. I also spoke at great length with Hermana Angela, Pastor Maureira's wife, and with some of the other brothers at the church there, online. I am so thrilled to hear about Paraguay, always...
The Lord has really put the girls of the church in Paraguay on my heart this week. It's difficult because culturally it seems they are really expected to do very little besides marry at 18 and perhaps have a job. To become strong wives, leaders in their world and to reach out to the other girls in their community, the girls in the church are going to have to meet some different standards. They are going to have to take initiative, step out of their boxes, and begin witnessing actively. They are also going to have to live differently and not focus so much on externals (which would mean a change in dress...) and all these things come from the heart. It's just incredibly hard to be a young girl in the male-driven drug culture, and even more difficult to be a young believer. So please pray for the preteen and teen girls at el Renuevo, that they can resist the 'need' to get a boyfriend now, that they can focus on the future and the will of God, and that they may have strength and inner beauty before anything else.
Also, this girl here would like prayer for her studies, if people have time...: D I need help with time management!
And one more thing...PLEASE PRAY FOR MONEY! There is always a lack thereof...what's so ridiculous is that it is so incredibly cheap to bless people in Paraguay, compared with other missions projects. So little does so much there, so if you could be praying that churches here would get involved in Paraguay's physical needs. Supporting ministers and evangelists, building, working with the school materially...all these things need money.
I love you all very very much!!! Please keep Paraguay in your prayers and hearts! You have all done so much already!
Give thanks in everything...1 Thessalonians...

| The most worthless man ever would have to be Genji.
That being said, I recommend that you read the Genji Monogatari (the Tale of Genji) anyway. I believe the author was very much in touch with Genji's foolishness and perhaps, just perhaps, she understood the cause of the downfall she wrote about as she explored the human soul of someone described almost as a god...
I cannot speak in specifics without making this entry rather child-unfriendly, which, being a child, I refuse to do. But perhaps Genji's greatest downfall is his inability to understand that friendship is possible, that life does not revolve around male-female relationships...that a man can be to a woman so much more than her spouse if he chooses to be her friend.
I will be so bold as to say that there is no greater love than the love of a true friend, and that it FAR surpasses the love of a husband or wife. It is so much more than the meaning we have given to 'friend'...what Jesus described as a friend was a person with whom your soul blends, who dies for you. A friend is closer to a brother because a brother shares blood ties which bind you, while a friend shares ties of another type of blood.
If the blood quality determines the relationship, then there can be no greater friendship than the friendship between two or more people who have the Blood of Christ binding them together, and no greater relationship than that.
All that being said...I am in the University studying Japanese Literature, Chemistry, Physics, and Tennis, working for Med degrees to return to Paraguay...still studying, still waiting, still praying. Trying to raise money for a truck for la Iglesia. Thinking about ways to return to Paraguay in the summer. If anyone has ideas, throw them at me...or even better, pray for me. If you ever want to drop by or spend the night or whatever, I have friends who can put you up and I would be glad to let you borrow my dorm as well...beware, I will talk mountains about my Neverland.
I used to end my entries with a picture of Peter Pan, and a quote. I have now become quite certain that I am the only Peter Pan on this planet, and being rather indisposed to post pictures of myself, we shall suffice with a quote...
"There was another light in the room now,
a thousand times brighter than the nightlights..."
Gracias a Dios, such is a friend.

| Wandering the halls
Silent, thoughts on your laughter
The ocean's chains fall
I won't hear it hereafter
Until we pass this chapter.
Que tonta soy yo
Escribiendo asi
Palabras ingles...
Miren la luna alli
Con su magica
Pero sin poder aca.
Da la luz, brilla--
Oscura la come ya.
Pero regresa.
And you laughter, and my words
Will return, they will return.
