Merry Christmas!

A recent trip to Las Bajadas left us with some great photos that give a good summary of our 2011:

~exploring and discovery~

 ¡fútbol!

~laughter (yes, and tears)~

~chopping wood for a hot fire~

both literally and figuratively: trying hard to figure out how to make sense of the ax, the branch,

the fire that we've been given, and knowing where to chop

 ~asado-ing~

in Argentina, the asado is a great cultural experience and much is shared around the grill

~siesta-ing and mate drinking~

~making new friends in all walks of life~ 

~sharing meals~

do you think the chickens in the background are disturbed by what is on the table? 

~being with (and serving) children~ 

~celebrating new seasons in life~

this photo was taken at our friend's wedding (obvio not in Las Bajadas)...

we celebrated from 9:00 pm until 3:30 am

Now we say chau to 2011 and bienvenidos to 2012.

Eternal life is in Him,

and this life gives light to all mankind.

~John 1:4

May His beautiful and amazing and unconditional love light your way.

Merry Christmas!

Much Love,

Chris, Krista, David, Andrew, and Johnny
