An Update from Buenos Aires

9-12-12  Happy Anniversary Wednesday

Our day started with a moment of prayer for the attacks on our American Embassy's.  We pray for these families.

 We are fully refreshed and full of chatter as we gathered for the worship and devotional.  Bill A. has been putting together the most fantastic music with Argentine Photos.  Today he decided to mix it up in case we were homesick.  Ultimately he had to improvise and give his very best impression while saying "Good Morning Saddleback, Have I told you lately that I love you?"  Gave Rick Warren a run for his money on the enthusiasm- We loved it so much!!!
 We are all fantastic singers and hope to record our next concert  for your listening pleasure.  We gathered and sorted supplies, we had to have 400 copies of the invitations made this morning, 400 in the afternoon, not to forget the 400 we had made yesterday.


 We were led to a new area of Palermo Soho, and stormed the city again.  It was great to see so many of us using our new learned words to reach the unchurched.  Chelsea bought goods from the local park vendors in trade for a completed survey - everyone wins!!!  We have been collecting business cards  to gather data from, then passing along to Lake Forest Marketing team for examples of how Argentines market to their people.  We want to be modern like they are.

 Lunch today was at "Limbo"- God showed up for lunch!  There was limited availability on certain dishes, and by a show of hands, that number was not exceeded- We ate, and ate, and then we ate....

 We left Palermo with a prayer walk in smaller groups- this is when you walk and pray for businesses and the people of Argentina.  At this time, we would like to thank Nikki for her expertise in "Parting the traffic sea"- Worthy of a vest, no doubt!

 Today is Bill & Marcia's Anniversary!!! We give God the glory for saving this marriage.
 Hasta Manana, Time to Eat!

 Ciao
