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 [...]
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 [...]
We’ll be there soon
Today has been crazy…..as are most days, but I still don’t now how it will all end. We were up this morning and over to my brother and sister-in-laws house to wait for the letter from the Argentine GBC inviting us to AR. I left to take two of the boys to three doctor appointments. [...]
Language Learning is Completed
Well, not exactly, but we have learned a lot this year. Please don’t be surprised that we aren’t fluent, it really does take a few years to really understand and use all the ends and outs of another language. Personally, this has been a very stretching year. It was more difficult than I expected to [...]

The anxiousness of the unknown is almost unbearable at times…….these are only a few of the questions that run through my head……will all our stuff fit in our boxes for the flight back to the states, will we [...]
I’m Not Just Here to Learn Another Language
Since becoming a parent, I have learned how impatient I am and with that impatience comes a lack of self-control. God has been teaching me extra doses of His Grace in these two areas. They go hand in hand with parenting and also language learning. These two things take up all of my day, so [...]
Communion
This past weekend we celebrated communion with Rich, Jil and Emerson and another family, Ken, Angela, Sam, Georgia, and Ty. Ken and Angela started studying at the Institute the same time as us. They have become good friends and we are sad to see them go. It’s just a reminder that this time of study [...]
A Respite
I love the city. I love meeting new people and seeing how people live. It’s easy to get on public transportation and get anywhere you need to and well, there’s lots of stores to find what you need. I grew up in rural southern Maryland (now it resembles more of suburbia as compared to 25 [...]
The Boys
Thought I’d share some fun moments in our household with you today.
Today Was a Good Day
Is is so refreshing when one of these pops into the week. It’s probably been one of the best days I’ve had in this country. I talked to five different people today….all in spanish, the length in time ranged from a half hour to 2 hours. Right now I am not exhausted and I haven’t [...]
