Argentina Update

Last day in Argentina! It has been an amazing experience. Since the first day we got here God is been all around. The classes are tough I must say, but there are not impossible. The fisrt days I was so scared because the material of the classes were so confusing, long and so much reading. But all the guys from the team helped me with the reading and writing. How awesome is to have a small family out of your home. Some people says that home is just a place to go, and that having someone to love is family. For me my home is heaven, and my family is all the people God has been placing in my way to home.
I had the chance to help Erik, one of the guy's from the team that is suffering by a kidney stone. I went with him to the hospital and translate for him and the doctors. I have never love Spanish so much, not only for the fact that I'm going to great a good great on my language class, but because through that I been able to help my classmates and the team in our journey through Argentina.

Last night we had such an amazing worship time with the team, I played recorder! Oh I can not explain the feeling of God's prescence in the room.



Today was our last day of class, and also our last day working with the kids from “Ciudad Oculta” one of the most dangerous slums in Argentina. The kids enjoyed the 3 hours pick up game, and after that we talked for a long time. One of the kids told me “Hey Profe sigue jugando futbol en America y no te olvides mi. It is so hard to think that tomorrow I'll be flying to New York and leaving those kids in Argentina. Therefore I know that God is taking care of them, and there is nothing I can do to help them to get out of there but giving them hope. Hope is something amazing,

I love Hope . Everyday it is a reminder of how amazing God's mind is. I want to be in the place where Hope is. Hope, Hope, Hope is more than a word, it is a expression of love and kindness. I wish you can see Hope just as I do.



I miss my friends form SCC, you guys are so important to me. I pray for you constantly. I'll be back soon to have more silly games.



Mom and Dad I miss you too and my brothers too. I'll be there soon too.



Please be praying for Erik, he needs to go back home for 2 weeks to take care of his kidney stone. We are going to miss him. John, Erica and the kids are doing great. The kids love John and see him as an example and good friend. Follow us on facebook.
