365 days, 12 months, a whole year… Already????
Serving and loved in Argentina. One year ago today I was in the middle of my travels. Moving from Nelson,BC to Bariloche,Argentina. From the far North to the far South Max always said. My remaining material possessions boxed in storage, klrs and kayaks left with friends, 4 suitcases with me. Wow, a year already. Learning castellano, adapting to a new culture, learning/accepting and walking forward in this new life. Being taught an even deeper sense of faith and trust as I surrender even more to walk across those rickety bridges and around the corner where I can’t see where the path goes. I still don’t agree with the fact that my best friend isn’t here to share these memories but I get to see the impact he had. I get to see how God used our time here before. I get to honor Max. I get the opportunity to wholeheartedly say Yes Lord, your will not mine. Its not always easy to do this, but I am so grateful for friends and family, all around the world. And I am especially grateful for my family here, walking alongside me, sometimes picking me up, but mostly for living life together. Here’s to being home.

Little did I know that a 19 year old, long haired, Uncle would change my life forever. After seven years of dating, living life together; we finally took that big step and said ‘I do’. Our life before and after marriage was full, absolutely full, of adventure, love, laughter and tears, but the one thing that never changed. We were each others best friend. There was nobody I would rather hang out with than Max. And he made sure I knew that there was nobody he’d rather be with than me. We worked well together. From Doxa Pizza to Max’s Western Wear and Pony Espresso, to building a house together. No, more then that. We loved being together and doing whatever it was – as long as we were together. We could talk about anything or we could sit in silence; either way; I fell in love with Max all over again, […]

Across Canada… Well, the western part at least….
Just a short post to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone! Keep watch in your emails for our next update coming out next week! We have been travelling around Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta connecting with various churches and creating awareness for Argentina and of course, fundraising. The commitments for prayer and financial support has been very encouraging. Our blog will soon have some exciting features! You will be able to track our fundraising goal along with us and soon enough there will be a countdown calendar for when we leave to embark on our language studies! Be sure to submit your pledge to the ECCC office, or go online covchurch.ca/nahnychuk. The sooner these are received (even if pledges start in the future) the sooner the countdown begins and the sooner the countdown begins, the sooner we can join God at work in Argentina! Thank you for being a part of this! Until next week….. Dios le bendiga! Report This Post
