This was a trip of a lifetime for all of us... Thank you for your support, prayers, and love!

El Camino Covenant Church - Bernardo de Irygoyen, Argentina


Brian. One of the most poverty stricken families we have ever met. He captured our hearts.


The Soccer Game we went to in Rosarrio



We had to check Fuj's luggage before we left to make sure he didn't sneak this one with him back to the states.



Classic morning, afternoon, or evening with the neighborhood...


Fernando became a fan of our group and loved hanging out with us.



Construction work we completed.


Fred and Dono posing for a smile.



Walking through downtown bernardo de Irygoyen.
Really, it was this small!

Nicole and Lisa in the Artisan markets


Fuj and Liam got really close on this trip...


This is downtown Buenos Aires. It has the widest street in the world...up to 22 lanes of traffic!


At the mall in Buenos Aires, they had this live nativity type thing. It was called "Santa Tierra" and I wasn't paying attention. They had people there like when you go to visit Santa Claus at Christmas time, so I just assumed that they have this photo booth to get your pictures taken with people from the Bible. After all, the name "Santa" was in the title. Well, it turns out that "Santa Tierra" means "Holy Lands" and this is a place you can visit, sort of like Disneyland, that is all Biblically themed. They were selling tickets at the mall.


Grilling meat on the streets...





Our Driver Jonathan. We grew to love him, and he grew to love us. Seeds were sown.


The Falcon. Nicole begged her dad to buy this car for their family. Mark was so glad she asked.


Visiting the cemetery called Receletta. It was unlike any cemetery any of us had ever gone to. This is where Evita was burried.


Tango Dancers in the streets downtown.
