She has been there on the days of excitement and praise, and on the days when I needed picking up from the valley bottom. \u00a0We have fun together, with games, 4fotos 1palabra, walking together to school, peliando\u00a0(picking on each other), laughing,\u00a0worshiping, praying, and being present in each others life. \u00a0Together we are learning about introverts in an extroverted culture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/c43a2dcd3b904c37e9bebf03e\/images\/7193a8b4-3ba8-4866-9f82-b7d01a1313d5.jpg\" width=\"214\" height=\"160\" data-file-id=\"1069085\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Youth Event was great. \u00a0A lot of fun for everyone and even real life application of what it looks like to live as Christ and how we respond to situations, to conflict. \u00a0The feedback has been encouraging. \u00a0For the workshop I gave and for my Spanish. \u00a0It was wonderful to see friends from all the churches, and meet new friends from Chile. \u00a0We even had that conversation of &#8216;Hey, you&#8217;re from Canada&#8230; do you know&#8230;.&#8217; \u00a0And as it turned out, I do &#8211;\u00a0The Lantz family!

Spices, peanut butter, espresso, coffee, and my &#8216;safety gear&#8217; aka casco. \u00a0I was blessed with a camera and as I learn to use it, I can already see that it will be a hobby that is restful, relaxing and probably used in ministry.\u00a0As with prayer, \u00a0I cannot emphasize enough what it means to have someone come and visit. \u00a0To be a part of my life and ministry here. \u00a0It is a powerful way to support and encourage your missionary. \u00a0Thank you Mike and Ineke for starting 2019 here in Argentina with me.
