Adventures!

Yesterday, Shannon, Rocio, Victor and I went to Argentina! Victor is one of the leaders here at the church and he came with us to help us get around safely. We waited on the outskirts of town for a bus, when it arrived, it was already jammed full of people, but we just squeezed in to add to the fun. It was a great experience, I found it rather funny. We are getting many opportunities to be a part of the culture and learn about another way of life. After awhile I was able to get a seat and enjoy the scenery of the country. We passed by a lot of palm trees and crossed a river. It is amazing to witness God's creativity and glorious art in nature. We arrived at the border and got our passports stamped and walked across a bridge to Argentina! We rode into the nearby town of Clorinda for the afternoon. It was great to be in another country and see more of the world. There were markets and little shops lining the streets so we looked around some and then ate lunch. It was a lovely adventurous afternoon in Argentina! I'm grateful that we were able to travel safely to and from the neighboring country. On the way back into Paraguay, we had a nice little ride and we got to watch the sunset--it was gorgeous. Thank you for all your prayers and support, I pray that you are able to see God's handiwork all around you.

This is for Alisha and Shannon as you wrap up your time with the people of Paraguay who have stolen your hearts ~ I came across these words this morning and thought they really speak to you. Let these words bless your last few days there. Can's wait to see you!
luv to all,

"We always thank God for all of you and mention you when we pray. We continually recall before God our Father the things you have done because of your faith and the work you have done because of your love. And we thank him that you continue to be strong because of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." I Thess 1:2-3
