UPDATE FROM THE BUENOS AIRES TEAM

9-11-12 In Honor of New York
Our devotion began with silent prayers for New York and the families of the victims of 9-11. It was an amazing way to start the day. We imagine heaven is singing and praying and laughing with us.


 We changed our approach Tuesday by also putting flyers on cars and in mail slots in our goal to reach the unchurched as we know they are everywhere!!  Our corner survey people were so successful!  We are so grateful to God for bringing us sunshine when we needed a pick me up and a cloud when we needed a cool down.


 We went to the Bruja Mujer restaurant for lunch - an amazing place for ice cream - the portions were 3 scoops. All of it was fantastic. Our team is getting closer and closer as the days pass by.  We are grateful for good shoes to walk with so that all these calories are burned off with the miles and miles, after we eat and eat...and eat.


 Our gifted bilingual Spanish speakers went back to the hotel to make phone calls to all of the contacts about the Thursday night out reach event.  Ernie had to improvise and use the bathroom telephone for his phone calls after he suddenly found the room phone was dead!!  Good Job!!  We also had email invitations go out for the Thursday night event.  Thanks to Ray and Bill for their IT knowledge as they sent out the email blasts.  We all would like to thank the previous Buenos Aires PEACE teams for their good works. Without you, we would not have the 150 phone numbers to call and 180 email addresses  to send to about this Thursday's outreach event.


We visited Elena's family's store with ready to wear clothing.  It was beautiful and we could feel the love in there from her dear family.


 Virena had a conversation with a young man on the subway and he asked what FE was, which means Faith and asked about Virena's faith. This opened the door for her minister to him. The best part is he will be at the Thursday night eventt!!!. We all made it on and off the subway safely.
 Still giving God the glory.


 PS.The morning walking team made it to the river which was 5 miles.
