Well, the Argentina team has landed in Buenos Aires...

And boy, is it ever hot!

It has been a crazy time getting here, from the get go! So as some of you (or all) might already know, we had a bit of a passport scare with Michael's passport having gone missing on Monday night. We realized it at 10 pm when it was too late to get it from the island to the mainland in time for our flight. So while we were trying to figure out where it was, we stopped to pray. No joke, just after we finished praying, Michael thought to call his mom to check if it was in the bag that he had given her for after Argentina. Sure enough, it was in that bag! Then the challenge was getting it to Vancouver from Port Moody. Enter Chris Downey. He saved the day! He brought the passport and we were able to make our flight on time, with all of us onboard.

Thus began our approximately 25 hour journey to Buenos Aires. And that's not including ferry time. Most of us got really bad sleeps (or in my case, no sleep at all) on the plane and so we are at about 35 hours being awake. I don't know how we're still functioning...

Buenos Aires is gorgeous and the weather is amazing! Actually, it's super hot and humid but it is definitely an improvement on Vancouver's weather... Sorry, Vancouver team! Here's hoping that you'll have sunshine while you're there.

Please pray for us as we begin preparing tomorrow for a retreat this weekend. Pray for the kids who are going to come and pray for us as we lead this retreat. We got to meet some of them about 45 minutes ago and they're super cool, so it should be really sweet!

God is good and He goes with all of you as you go! Praying for you all! Love you!
