7 impressed guests
“Wow!!!” That’s a rather nice thing to hear as someone comes into your house for the first time, right? Jil and I have always made something of a conscience effort to try and make our house warm and inviting to our guests. We love having people over, and want everyone to feel as welcome as [...]
Amazing Things are Happening
Every Saturday(well, except when it rains and the dirt streets are completely muddy) we’ve been visiting the villa on Saturday mornings to share a story about Jesus, some songs and some snacks. The kids LOVE the clowns(Brian and Nate) and love that we come to hang out and spend time with them. Rich, Brian, Nate, [...]

Here are a few pictures from our vacaction in November. Some pics include the Elledges, we were fortunate to share a week with them at the beach.
Where is God, who is He with?

Vacation
We got back from vacation last night. It was the longest vacation we’d ever been on, 2 whole consecutive weeks. After this I don’t think we’ll ever be able to do a vacation for less time. When we took 1 week vacations back in the States I never real rested: Day 1 would be the [...]

As anyone who has done a crazy road trip with three little kids knows, it can be exhausting and fun at the same time. The celebration was amazing and wonderful, [...]
Day 7 Scavenger Hunt – late post
\ To help us get a “flavor” of traveling in LaPlata the team set up a scavenger hunt by dividing us Yanqui’s (that’s what we were to the Argentine people) into three groups with a set of specific instructions. As we accomplished each step we accumulated various points. We could request help from anyone except [...]
Our Work here is through….. or is it?
Well the trip came to an end, finishing in a flurry of one last prayer walk, great lunch (pizza done just the way I like it – thin crust, a little sauce, and lots of Queso!), fellowship with the Team, visits from the Baileys, and a wild ride to the airport. (Oh, and watch out [...]
What….only 2 days left??? We just got here!
****DISCLAIMER: some of my spanish words may not be spelled correctly in my posts, please forgive me! And we had some connectivity issues so some of these posts are a little off-date.**** Back to work on Tuesday – it was nice to do another prayer walk with Rich through the Villa de Miseria (the village [...]
