2/22/15 Day 102
This morning we went to the sierra’s (hills) in Sierra
Grande. We climbed some of the hills for
awhile and toured the museum that was there.
This evening we had a church meeting at 8pm and Miguel preached about
Jesus being #1 in our hearts not #2. It
was challenging and convicting and hard to do without the Holy Spirit’s help.
2/23/15 Day 103
This morning Nathan cooked up the ostrich egg for
breakfast. It tasted much different that
a chicken egg--- it had more of a fishy taste.
This morning we said our goodbye’s to Miguel and Angela and then at 9am
we caught a bus going to Las Grutas where the ILPA team has been working this
weekend. We met up with the ILPA team and talked with them for ~ 2 hours before
they left to go back to Choele Choel. We
said our good bye’s to Jacob and Elizabeth as they are heading back to
Illinois. This evening after the ILPA
team had left Las Grutas our family walked to the center of town in Las Grutas
to see what was going on and we had an icecream treat together.
2/24/15 Day 104
This morning we walked the beach and looked for shells and
pretty rocks. This kids loved this and
then in the afternoon we spent the afternoon playing in the sand at the beach
and splashing in the ocean. Later this
evening we talked to an older couple that runs a small grocery store up the way
from the mission site we stayed at here and who also takes part in the church
services that they have at the mission site.
It was good to get to know them.
Then after talking to then for about an hour we walked to the center of
town again to have supper and to see what was going on.
2/25/15 Day 105
This morning we walked again on the beach looking for shells
and pretty rocks. This afternoon we
made a sand castle on the beach and played in the ocean. Late in the afternoon Juan and Floyd came to
pick us up and we headed back to Choele
Choel.
2/26/15 Day 106
This morning Nathan and Jayvin went to Juan’s house to work
on the pool and cut down more of the fallen tree. While they were gone Lydia, Liam and I went
to Delbert and Frieda’s house to talk with them. Frieda wasn’t able to get her chemotherapy
that she was supposed to this week because of no medicine available and she
needs to schedule for another blood transfusion soon but Delbert wasn’t able to
get her a doctors appointment today.
Please remember them in your prayers as this is a very trying time for them
as they work through Frieda’s cancer treatments. Nathan and Jayvin then came home for lunch
and Nathan went back this afternoon to Juan’s house to work on the pool again.
2/27/15 Day 107
Today Nathan and Lydia went to Juan’s house to work on the
pool and cut down more of the fallen tree and then this afternoon we all ended
up taking a very long nap. It sure felt
good after so many wonderful activities that we have been a part of in recent
days.
2/28/15 Day 108
Early this morning Nathan mowed Delbert and Frieda’s lawn
and then he took Lydia and Jayvin to work at Juan’s house for the morning. Liam and I had a wonderful morning of playing
together one on one. In the afternoon we
went to Chito and Mary’s house to talk and drink mate. We ended up staying there for supper as
well. They have been really hospitable
to us while we’ve been here and they are some of the first people who have
started the mission site in Las Grutas.
They along with a team from Choele Choel go there once a month to have
service there in Las Grutas at the mission site we stayed at for two days.
3/1/15 Day 109
This morning we rested and enjoyed playing together as a
family. For lunch Nathan cooked some
meat on the asado. Then we took a rest
in the afternoon and at 7pm this evening we had church in the central
zone. All church zones met in the
central zone for the worship service.
Lydia went to Sunday School as well and really enjoyed that. She is very social and isn’t afraid to make
new friends which is why I think she is picking up on the Spanish language so
quickly.
