The Valles Calchaquies!

In the coming weeks I will be saying goodbye to modern convinces to help the less fortunate here in Argentina. I will be going to northwestern part of Argentina to the providence called Salta. The climate there seems to be similar to New Mexico or Arizona. We will be helping the impoverished people of the area by doing anything and everything. We will be building homes and churches or giving out the donations we have collected for these people. These things are important but they are not the most important thing we are giving them; the most important thing we are giving is the good news of Jesus Christ. We hope to show his love for these people and show them how they can experience this love as well. All the stories I hear about this place tell of how life changing it is and how much they have seen the Lord work. I am very excited about all the things I will be seeing in the coming weeks on Proyecto Valles Calchaquies!

Little taste of life as of recent

So life gets a little hectic and the first thing to go is my blog. I have been really encouraged recently with all of the things that have been happening since summer project got here. It has been pretty awesome to see all the things we can do with the extra man power the Lord has provided us. We have seen around 20 people come to Christ and we had 25 new people come to a Vida Estudiantil meeting which was awesome. I have really started to settle in to the culture and am happy to be back in Buenos Aires after 4 days home for my big brothers wedding. It was awesome to get to see friends and family and really encouraged me in all I keep doing. It has been pretty awesome to see with summer project here how much the Lord has taught me through this year. The most obvious is when I translate Spanish for people; this blows my mind sometimes whne I think back to about 8 months ago when everything had to be translated for me. Another thing I have seen in the past month is my love for being a shepherd for people. The students on summer project where totally helpless their first few days and I really enjoyed just being there to help and be their guide. It has been awesome to see them just take chances and not be afraid to fail to share the gospel with the students of Buenos Aires. They have been a breath of life into this extrovert's spirits. I am really excited to continue to watch the fruits of their work over the next 2 years.
