October and November Happenings

Wow, it's hard to believe that December is here. A lot has happened in the past few months. In October Beth arrived in the US and will be here until next July or so. It's nice to have her here at home. Early in October Claudia Alvarado, an Argentine missionary to Mozambique and I went to the ladies' retreat in Jujuy. We facilitated a workshop about listening with love. Claudia also spoke about Mozambique and the need for missionaries to go out from Argentina to the rest of the world. The ladies responded enthusiastically. The association of Baptist churches here in the northwest has a project to send a missionary to Mozambique within the next two years. It's very encouraging to see how the churches are supporting this new endeavor!

In November we had our field conference meetings with WorldVenture colleagues who work in northwest Argentina, Dick helped organize the men's retreat at Camp Lozano and a few days later traveled to Bolivia to meet with our colleagues Dan and Daryl Collins and WorldVenture's Overseas Director for Latin America Ken Flurry and his wife Arlene. Dick arrived home a few hours before Ken and Arlene arrived here in Tucuman. It was nice to have them here in our home for a few days. Last week Dick and I traveled to Salta with Ken and Arlene to meet with our colleagues. On Sunday we had a great asado (cookout) at Cerrillos Conference Center (formerly the mk school Hogar Bautista). :-) I've included a few pictures of our time together. :-) Thank you so much for your prayers for us during the past few months. We've had a full calendar with lots of ministry activities! God is faithful and has worked in us as we spent time with colleagues and our brothers and sisters here in Argentina.
