Tourism and Shopping….  

Tourism and Shopping…. 

After an overload day on Sunday, we spent Monday being pure tourists!   It was fun, informative and very unique.   We loaded the bus and headed for Buenos Aires – lots of interesting sights along the way, and Brian and Nate probably got tired of all of the ‘tourist’ questions, but they tolerated us nonetheless. The [...]

HOMEWORK? Not while we’re on “vacation”!

(I’m a couple of days behind…so I’ll do my best to catch up here) Okay – can you believe that while we were here, we were given a homework assignment!   We were told to READ Psalm 105 and 106, then write a Psalm about our life….  So we did this individually, then collectively read our [...]

Day 7….Idolotry, and a scavenger hunt

Well, this was our last full day here in Argentina.  By this time tomorrow we will be in the air and on our way home.  It really hit home that we were leaving tomorrow as we were doing our online check-in to prepare for departure. I for one have mixed emotions as we prepare to [...]

Second Day (Thursday)

To day we did our first Prayer Walk. We divided up into groups of 2 or 3 and were lead by one of the La Plata Team. In the morning my group walked around the Gorniks neighborhood. Here we prayed for a number of  the families or individuals they have met. We prayed as we passed either [...]

The Discovery

This morning started with worship and then a prayer walk with Deb Dunlevy.  She walked with us through her neighborhood stopping along the way to share specific prayer requests. After we prayed she explained how she and Nate consciously put themselves in positions to make contact with people in the community. Once contact is made [...]

A tour of BA

Javier View of the Obelisk of Buenos Aires And where do we go? Presidential Palace Here are a few photos of some of the highlights of our tour of BA.

Just a thought…

It amazes me how God speaks to us.  It would be nice if sometimes he would just pop into my head and SPEAK to me, but then of course I would be completely terrified, so He never does (Thank you God!).  Instead he speaks to me through other people, scripture passages, situations, devotions, His creation [...]

Dias 4 y 5

Ok, so I haven’t blogged in a few days, because I am exhausted! We are constantly doing something. Everyone makes fun of me but this chick needs a good 11 or 12 hours of beauty sleep (hehe!). Anyway… On Saturday, we got up for worship and then got ready for Hora Feliz (an informal, short [...]

Day 6 – Tour day. (or should I say SHOPPING day)

Wow, today we traveled to Buenos Aries for a little sight seeing, and shopping for souvenirs.  But first, we all got up this morning just like any other morning.  Apparently there was QUITE a thunderstorm Sunday night.  When we first got up in the morning everything was wet, and everyone was talking about the thunder [...]

Day 5 a Day late…Sunday services and a LOAD of meat!

Day 5 a Day late…Sunday services and a LOAD of meat!

Sunday seemed to be more or less a day of rest (I may have read somewhere that someone planned it like that).  We began the day with a short period of worship.  I will admit that when we first got here, I felt a little “funny” having worship in the living room just sitting around [...]
