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 [...]
God is Answering
We’ve been praying for our upstairs neighbors for many months and praying for opportunities to talk with them(we just finished our winter and didn’t see them much at all). It’s nice and warm today and the boys were playing outside. The last two weeks the little four year old girl upstairs will come out on [...]
If Everything Only Worked Out The Way I Wanted It To…….
I never realized how impatient I was firstly, until I had kids…..and secondly, until I moved to another country. God has used this journey to grow me in ways I didn’t know I needed to be grown. He’s teaching me patience in waiting for things like hot water, heat, running water, electricity, our internet to [...]
Prayer Team Coming to Town
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 [...]
Wow, That Was Amazing!
One of the best things that can happen to you when you are new in a community is to get invited to a birthday party. Our family attended our first today for the son of Pablo, a guy who sought us out because he wanted to practice English. We met him in March at his [...]
Naive Ignorant Immigrants
Monday was the first day of school for Malachi. There was supposed to be some sort of opening ceremony for the year but it rained so they did not have it. Instead they had the kids in the classrooms…and Malachi did surprisingly well. It took some warming up to the teacher, but he did after [...]
One Month
We’ve been in Argentina for one month! We’ve been missing you all and really wish we had internet access at our house. Please pray for the pole to be installed by the phone company, we can’t have a phone or internet until thats in place. This week has been a very exciting and somewhat sad [...]
Tara’s Birthday Date
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 [...]
A Visit to Malachi’s School
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, [...]
The Last Few Weeks for the Gorniks
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 [...]
