Hagermans on a Mission!

Hagermans on a Mission!

Christie ― http://www.hagermans.blogspot.com

I blog about the crazy stuff that happens to us here in the heart of South America, and how God manages to use me in my broken, chaotic condition to share His love with the people of Paraguay. Thrown in are mini-lessons in Latino and/or Paraguayan culture, the Guarani language, and missions in general

The Road Less Traveled

The Road Less Traveled

Hagermans on a Mission! ― Three and a half bus-hours got us to the intersection of a dirt road with the asphalt, where we met a pastor and his wife in their muddy 4x4. They're Brazilian missionaries who have lived here enough years to legitimately be called Paraguayans....
