Hi again -
It is hard to believe that we are heading home today. These 2 weeks have passed so quickly, and we have felt so comfortable with the people here in Argentina. The staff and kids in the Hogar have seemed even more open to relationship with us than the last time we were here, perhaps as they say, it is because we came back, which shows them that we and Good Shepherd really do care about them.
Bill was able to speak in churches 4 times, each team member delivered their testimony in well-understood spanish, we sang worship songs in spanish prior to everyone getting colds bad enough to prevent it, and we performed a wordless skit(which works without a voice!). On the weekend we traveled with the youth ministry team to 3 churches in the town of Santa Fe, which is further away. We also supported the ministry team at several more local churches, encouraged the pastors in all of those places, and were able to have many outings and interactions with the kids of the Hogar since we are here during winter vacation from school.
We had yesterday and part of today to rest up and explore Buenos Aires, a VERY large city, prior to heading to the airport later today. We have felt your prayers, when we were very tired from our very long days, and also when having important contacts with kids and many other people here. Thank you so much!
We hope to add photos after we return home. We hope many of you can attend our team debrief Sunday, August 5, at church following the 2nd service.
Kristi for the team :)
