Home sweet home...

Not sure if you guys noticed, i sure did, but i wasnt able to get to the comp for more than five minutes so i was not able to check or post any blogs. BUT i do have good news because i DID finally make it home. After delays in Buenos Aires, plane schedules changing in Fort Worth and loss of luggage in Phoenix, I'm finally home. Thank God. But it feels good to be in my dads arms again, a.k.a. where i belong. Thanks for all your prayers!! They helped more than you know!

sorry theyre upside down, you get what you get. i didnt have time to change anything. Im the girl that looks like Noel.

La Boca...

So today we went to visit La Boca, a very tourist oriented hot spot. So, everything that we bought was pretty much found everywhere....but thats ok. It was great to get to go out into the city and see some more of the sights. The sun was out and it was beautiful.

Nothing much to talk about today, we missed our opportunity to serve because of traffic but thats ok because were going to SACDEM tomorrow. PRAY FOR ME!!! Its gonna be an intense day. I cant wait.

Daddy i havent read your blog yet but im very excited to because i have a little bit more time to look at some stuff. I love love love you!!!

Peace out.

Baby its cold outside....

Not only is it cold outside but yesterday...it snowed....yeah. snow. that white stuff that comes out of the sky. Very exciting...very cold. Thankfully Petty and i were wearing our neon green rain boots because were just that amazing.

I dont know who was praying, maybe just me, but my family situation is improving a little more every day. Although i live with a family who is not as fortunate as others i am learning that i dont need all the things that i have in Scottsdale. Theyre just not that important in order to live. They make life a lot better and easier, but its not necessary to have all of those things that we find in Scottsdale. Weird thought right? Well anyways, the family is warming up to me and im learning to be less stressed about my living situation. God is great and i am learning SO SO much more this time in Argentina that the times before.

So i cant write a lot because there is only one computer and a few people dont have computers at their house. I love you all and am pleased to tell you that im JOURNALING so i will be able to tell you what im doing in more detail when i return on tuesday...in a week basicly.

But yeah, just a recap i have been doing EJE, working with the church kids today, dancing like crazy americans and...oh yeah, working outside for the majority of yesterday....when it was snowing. Weird. Argentina has lost its mind, but i love it.

ok i love you all and wish you the best.

Daddy im praying for you!! I didnt get to read your whole blog because of the comp situation, but enough to know that youre ok and it makes me comforted to see your face. I love you!!!

Short but sweet...

Not sure how many people are reading this blog but those who are, i really appreciate your prayer right now. I cant go into much detail about my days here in Argentina, you can go to the Argentina blog at SBCArgentina.blogspot.com for more details about our daily activities. But, i really need your prayer right now as i am in a house by myself with a family who doesnt speak any english besides 'hello' and i have taught them 'blah blah blah' because that is what often comes out of my mouth. This is because of all the frustration that i am experiencing. Today i had a moment with God where i broke down because i really do feel alone when i am with them. They are wonderful but i do need your prayer for my patience. I love you all. Daddy i love you!!!! Please stay safe and i am praying for you!!!!

Sitting, waiting, wishing..

So....we´re here!!! It was kinda stressful in the beginning but we made it.

And now i can finally remember why i fell so hard for this country and the people in it. I am absolutly blessed to be here with so many people i love in a country that is absolutly one of a kind.

So enough with the emotional fluff, i know you want to know how my flights were...right? Well the first flight to Fort Worth arrived on time to Sky Harbor, but none of that matters. Only because some kid, about 12 to 14 years old, threw up on himself so we had to "deboard" him...and that only took about 45 minutes...all after refueling. Hee hee, dont you love lemons? Well, i know what youre thinking....Thats not that bad, your flight was only a little bit late and you could still make the second one to Buenos Aires...right? Wrongo. As soon as we got off the plane in Texas it was a mad frenzy to get to our next flight that left at 7:35. (by the way our flight got arrived at 7:15). I wish i could have been one of the people in the airport watching 30 blurry objects fly through the terminal with all the speed and agility of an awkward penguin. We were dressed the part, with our matching track jackets and in some cases track suits, but im sure that it would have been more fun to have been on the outside looking in. It always is.

Anyways we made the flight and were off on our 10 hour and 13 minute flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We all made it here fine and, even though were a little worn out, we are all ready for EJE tomorrow and two weeks full of crazy nonsense.

Thanks for your prayers ill talk to you when i get a chance.

PS my day is not even half way over, i still have to take a nap and then go and prep for EJE around 6...which means 7. Then maybe i can really lay down and get some much needed rest!

Copy Cat...

So I'm taking this beautiful idea from my fellow team members because it is, overall, the best way to document my progress as i travel, for the second time, to Buenos Aires, Argentina. And it's easier for you guys to read about my travels in a different country.

My departure date is July 5th, 2007, so i have a good 6 days left with my family, friends and, of course, work.

Please pray for me to be prepared for this emotional rollercoaster that I'm about to get strapped into....again.

Im excited for what God is going to do in my life, he is pretty amazing, but overall reminds me of my friend Noodle (kristen) because he does what he wants.

Thats all for now, but please pray for:

• myself as i travel with my church to Argentina
• my dad who will be traveling to Russia at the same time i am out of the country
• my sister as she embarks on her first mission trip to Mexico
• my brother while he is living in Ohio for the summer
• & Shannon, Alyssa and Kyle who are already in Argentina
