I first set foot on Paraguayan soil on July 26, 1986, the feast of Sts Joachim and Anne.  Next day I was invited to the blessing of a new Benedictine monastery in Misiones, a four-hour drive from Asunción, the capital.  Despite my jet lag I left at 3:30 am with the other sisters.  I couldn’t argue with them, as the only Spanish I knew was “Si” and “No.”
