¡adios...te extraño!

you might be thinking "what a demonic looking bunny!" well, i´m not sure about that, but it's definitely strage. despite...it's the "family pet." allison and i "pet" it once, but were sooo scared when we touched it's tail that we immediately ran away from it afterwards. it's huge, and white...it has red eyes, and 2 HUGE goiters on it. thought you would enjoy the picture.

so today was such a sad day here in buenos aires. 4 of my girls left...heading back to the US. we knew this day was coming, but it didn't make things any easier for us. this morning we went to an English Institute and went into 2 classes. We got into small groups and talked about our different cultures...we asked them questions and they asked us as well. One of my groups was with Martin, who is the head of the Navs here in Argentina. He is so bold for Christ, I just love it. We were talking with 3 girls. Oh yeah, they know English really well, so it makes it sooo much easier for me to communicate. They just want to talk with North Americans so they can listen to us and "hear our accents"...that's the best way to improve their English. Anyways, Martin asked them about their faith how they live it out in their lives. Great question, b-c if they didn't have faith in anything, they could say that, or if they were buddhists they could talk about that. it totally opened up the door for me to share my story...what my faith in Jesus looks like on a day to day basis. I was so encouraged after leaving the Eng. Inst. today.
So we headed back to the chicas casa and had a time to go around and share about what each girl meant, how we saw Christ in their lives, etc. It was sooo amazing, but so sad. There were lots of tears, which is hard to believe after only 6 weeks, and lots of laughs...we were (and still are) a tight team.
I have 2 prayer requests at the moment:
1. The our team will grow closer together in this last month and that God will fill in the gaps that the other girls left with His love.
2. For the Argentines that we are meeting daily, and also the Argentines who are a part of the Nav Bible Study. That we would be examples of Jesus to them and that we would be aware of opportunities to show them His love in a pure and powerful way.
