Sunday, July 20th was the Day of the
Friendship in Argentina… just another reason to celebrate. I was so blessed by the church service. It is amazing to watch the youth that I
mentored leading the church. Jorge, who
was one of the guys I worked with a lot in regards to youth ministry, is now
the official pastor of the church. He
may seem young, but he has a passion for God that shines through. His message was one that I needed to
hear.
Jorge’s message was on healing our minds… the focus was
on our need to forgive. I am not going
to lie… forgiveness is an area I am struggling with right now. We have had a lot of hurt in our life
recently… and it is easy to let bitterness to seep into my heart… sometimes it
is a daily struggle to not allow the pain and anger to overwhelm me. The tears flowed as I asked God to heal my
heart and help me to forgive. Although I
know that God spoke into my heart that night… I also know that it is a path I
am going to continue to have to walk down in obedience. I choose to forgive over and over… as often
as necessary until it no longer hurts. I
know that God is good and that He will bring about this healing not only in my
life but in my entire family. I was so
encouraged by this message and the conversations that flowed in the following
days in regards to the message. I know
this is one of the reasons that God allowed us to go to Argentina.

On Monday I spent a lot of time with the girls. In the afternoon Soledad hosted a Women’s
study at her house. I loved listening to
her share from her heart about the importance of the church in your own
personal growth. She was able to get
everyone involved in the conversation.
Afterwards, Carolina and I walked down to the grocery store so I could
pick up some of my favorite foods to bring back to the states. That night Sole and Maxi came over and we
went to pick up Arabic food for dinner… as well as ice cream for Matthew.
We bought Gustavo a gift for his new asado...
It was all the essentials for a barbeque..!
Maxi and Valentino singing us a song... ADORABLE..!
