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 [...]
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 [...]
Word of the day — AMAZING!
Today we kicked off the Hora Feliz for the team here. It was sooooo fun!!! I finally got to be ‘me’ — dressed funny, walking the streets waving and smiling at strangers, and passing out candy to the kids! The response was tremendous, and we passed out more than 400 suckers, formed more than 300 [...]
I DID IT! :)
I ordered my own ice cream…. IN SPANISH! And I got what I wanted! *LOL* Okay that wasn’t the highlight of the day, but it was certainly a milestone. We walked more prayer walks, and are really learning more and more about the people and their culture. It is easy to see God’s hand [...]
What a day!
Our first day “in the field”, we found ourselves walking the streets of LaPlata, seeing and praying for the acquaintances of the team here. We saw many unusual things, and the houses were very unlike what we would expect to see. There are no neighborhoods as such, as most people build their [...]
That wasn’t so bad…. :)
Okay – so for all of my fears of the unknown in travelling to a new country, we landed safely and uneventfully in Argentina. We even made up some extra time after leaving late because of a flat tire on the landing gear! After arriving, we first went through the personal passport area (I’m sure [...]
Can’t possibly be time to go!!
As we went to the airport it really made me think “can this possibly be??” Where has the time gone?? It seems as only yesterday when we met for the first time as a team. Here we are, sitting at the airport, getting ready to leave, in less than one hour!!! We have felt God’s [...]
My First (posted) Thoughts… :)
As we prepare for this trip, one of the things I am enjoying MOST in the preparation is anticipating the unimaginable — those things that only God knows what he has in store for you, and you have to stay open minded to what that will be. One of the devotions we shared in one [...]
