Dear friends and family,
Well, we made it safe and sound to San Nicolas.  Both flights, from Portland to Dallas, and from Dallas to Buenos Aires, were uneventful.  We had a quick lunch with Tom and Colleen (who send their regards) and then they dropped us off at our hotel for a quick nap.  We did take a quick stop at the Hogar to say hello.  Most of the kids that we knew well are gone, but a few remembered us.  It was exciting to feel back in the country.

On the plane I decided to reach out to the man sitting next to me  He turned out to be a muslim Imam, who was trying to plant seeds in Texas, going home to Argentina.  A nice gentleman, who will not see eye to eye with me, but he was impressed by our efforts to care "for the least of these," and gave me a cash donation for the Hogar. 

More to follow, but please spread the word that all of us are safe and sound, and ready for a nap before the church service tonight.

Bill
