You know we went to the first meeting and thought we have to somehow find a way to bring the kids
And we didn’t know how that was going to happen, but we prayed about it and
We really talked it over and just continued to pray and have faith that somehow we would be able to bring the kids with us and it worked out
All four kids were able to come with us too
Some of the things we did is we walked around a park that’s right next to the Tigre church
and we walked around with some of the people that already went to that church, that they were able to kind of serve as translators for us and show us their way of doing things in Argentina.
And we just spoke to people that were walking by and ask them if we could pray for them and we invited them to the children’s party that the Tigre church was having.
Yeah I was able to connect with a few of the people because they spoke a little bit of English
And a lot of the littler kids I was able to play with them.
I made a friend there and the reason I that I met her was that one of the people in our group
started talking to her, and she’s one year younger than me, she was twelve, her name’s Dana
and she spoke a little bit of English and we just started talking and hanging out and we were kind of uncomfortable at first but we just really started to bond and we spent every day together
We also did survey’s in Palermo where the church is going to be planted
but for some reason there was just this feeling, the Spirit was just so alive. I was bursting with just wanting to talk to people and I wouldn’t do that here.
It was so great. I just felt so comfortable to just talk to people there and want to
just say “Hey what are you doing? Do you go to church? Do you believe in God? We’re here from the United States. We’re here for you.” You know?
just say “Hey what are you doing? Do you go to church? Do you believe in God? We’re here from the United States. We’re here for you.” You know?
And really kind of get a feel for what the city was like there.
Yeah, even being in a different place when you have a language barrier and you can just see that that barrier was broken down by the faith that we all have
and how whether we are in the United States in California or in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that
that faith really transcends any language, and I think that really kind of pulled us together
and I know for me really deepened my faith to see the passion that these people had for the Lord and the things that they do and the constraints that they have in their country.
And the church that we were working with it really was a very powerful experience for me and I believe for us as a family
Oh, one-hundred percent something you absolutely have to do.
I mean, I feel like our family now has made a memory together that we will always have.
You know we have this bond that we’ll remember forever.
I mean, it was really truly the most exciting thing I’ve ever gone through. We actually just came back from a cruise
we went straight onto a cruise right after and it was funny to see the difference between the two
and it was, for me, so much more enjoyable
to be in a place like Buenos Aires and be able to feel like you’re serving and so full of the Spirit and the love and all of that
as opposed to being on a cruise where you’re just kind of sitting around and
waited on, and I mean, it was nice but not at all the same thing.
