We have had a good last few weeks. The kids are loving their new life here and that makes everything rosy. A few weeks ago, there was a race at Instituto Niños Argentinos in order to have fun, raise money, and have time together as a school community. Every grade ran and the top 3 runners of each got medals. Johnny and Andrew got fourth place and truly enjoyed themselves. Here is David in his victory stance for placing third.
In the girls’ race, his friend Sofia also got third and I’m not sure they were too happy about me taking this photo. I like her and wish that the whole boy/girl thing wasn’t so awkward at this age so she could come over for a play date. I’m sure someday soon, I’ll be wishing the opposite.
Andrew and Johnny have started playing basketball at our neighborhood club, EPEC. They are so fun to watch. Johnny loves running up and down the court. Andrew loves dribbling and shooting baskets. Chris and I love watching them and hearing their teammates yell their names.
Chris went to a week long course on Transformational Integral Ministry (using the global CHE network method) at Asociación Campos Blancos. It was very informative and he made some great new friends. There were some people there from the northern, poorer province of Chaco and Chris was able to talk with them about the solar powered Unite to Light. He gave some of the lights we had ordered so they could share them in their communities that do not have reliable electricity.
And finally, here’s a photo of our most recent dinner with the Sanchez family and Devin, the Fulbright Scholar who has become such a good friend. When the Sanchez’s asked what they could bring, I asked them to bring una botella de vino. They brought two: one from Argentina and one from California. The Argentine Malbec will always win, in my humble opinion. I also asked them to bring their dog, Camilo, who the boys are enchanted with. Buddy enjoyed some special dog time.
It is good to share life together.
We love hearing about your life too. Fill us in...
