Hello!
I realize that I just wrote you but I have a new prayer request. This morning I was in a car wreck. I was turning a corner on my way to work and I thought I was clear. Unfortunately I wasn't. I hit a motorcyclist and a car. The motorcycle hit the second car as well. The motorcyclist flew through the air. In the middle of the air he turned. The other car described it like he was a cat turning in mid air. He landed on his back and we think just fractured his leg. His helmet had flown off and it was a miracle that he didn't hurt any more. It was as if the hand of God reached down and turned him just right. Also praise God that everyone involved were Christians: the car owner, the motorcyclist, the motorcyclist's brother in law who came to take care of the situation. This could have been way worse. I once scratched a taxi and it was half his fault and the man was irate and tried to take advantage of the circumstance for more money. However, these men were incredibly nice. After the ambulance took the motorcyclist to the hospital for his fracture, his brother-in-law prayed with me and prayed that God would give me a great day despite the accident. They also all decided that we would handle it ourselves and not get transit involved. If the motorcyclist had been injured more seriously, I think I could be in jail now. And I don't even want to think about what could have happened if he had landed on his head. Praise God He worked the way He did and that everyone is ok. Please keep praying for the motorcyclist in the hospital though. I can't remember his name but I will ask his brother-in-law when he calls me. I already paid for the car that I hit ($100). I still need to pay for the motorcycle, the motorcyclist's hospital bill, and for my own car. These bills are tough for me on my salary here along with paying for a wedding and (I hope) a honeymoon. As you remember there is extra money from your support from my internship last year but I dedicated that money to future missions and I don't know if it would be right to use it. Please, I need all your prayers. Thank you.
In Christ,
Mateo
Cultural differences and the perception of time

Probably the biggest difference between German and Paraguayan culture is
the perception of time.
The most clichéed manifestation of this difference is the ...
