This last Saturday Pablo, a friend of ours here in La Plata, invited us to go with his family to the River on Sunday.  Of course, we accepted the invitation.  We left at 7:30 in the morning and got back at 8:30 at night.  We went to a town called “Punta Lara” a small ‘river [...]

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.

Here is a video clip of a speech that I think is worth showing:

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 [...]

Our home church wil be sending a 7 member prayer team down here from Sept.  29-Oct. 7.  We are sooo excited to have them here.  This will be a special team, the vast majority of all that they will be doing is praying.  They will be the first team to visit us and will have [...]

Yesterday I took Tara out for her birthday, her birthday was the 23rd but that was the day the Elledges came in.  We went downtown La Plata for a lunch out on the town (The Dunlevy’s an Elledges watched the kids).  I told her she could go anywhere she wanted, anywhere…she decided to go to [...]

This morning we visited Malachi’s school.  Here’s a picture of the outside and a picture of Chi and Ellie getting to know the playground in the back.

It seemed to be a very nice school.  It put us at ease finally being able to see and talk with the faculty.  We met his teacher, Paola, she [...]

I really wish we could have been updating this more, it just hasn’t worked out.  Not having a phone or internet in our house has really limited our ability to communicate with those back home.
We did get all of our luggage!  And nothing was lost or stolen!  Thank God for that!  That was a real [...]

Wanted to let you all know we made to Argentina just fine, the flight went great.  We’re tired and exhausted, but feeling good overall.  Half our luggage did not make it though.  Our layover was in Panama so 12  of our boxes did not make it out of there.  They are supposed to arrive tonight, [...]
