Argentina Update #2
Week two has come and gone. How can we sum up such amazing experiences in such a short message? Hopefully this does some justice to the work that God is doing here in Resistencia, Argentina. This past week has been full of many different tasks. We started out the week by doing some manual labor. Don’t laugh too hard, we are very serious. One of the major projects with which Willie has asked us to help is completing the kitchen and bathroom at the outpost, and by completing, we mean (along with much help from a couple of much more experienced workers) everything from finishing the walls, tiling, plumbing, roofing, etc. The walls are almost done, so the roof comes next!
On Thursday we only had a half day of work at the outpost. In the afternoon we boarded a bus to travel to Posadas (about 5 hours directly east of here, near Paraguay and Brazil) in order to accompany Cassie to her one day women’s seminar on holiness, during which we both had the privilege of sharing our testimonies. The seminar was a great success.
Upon our return home and a day of rest, we were able to share in an evening of fellowship with the youth of Resistencia Corps, playing ping pong, basketball, and board games, after which there was a quick devotional. The next day we were able to worship with the corps, participating in Sunday School in the morning and the Holiness Meeting in the evening, during which Elyse gave her testimony.
This week has been filled with much work, much fellowship, and much enjoyment. Most of all, it has been a great blessing for both of us. Unfortunately, Viki has been quite sick (though doing better) for the past couple days, so prayers for her health would be greatly appreciated.
God bless,
The Argentina Interns
Elyse and Viki
