From Emily
Dear Mom, Dad, Familiy, Friends, and Alex,
Our team is memorizing 2 Corinthians 4. Verse 5 says, "For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake." This passage has meant so much to me while I have been on this trip. The Lord has caused me to look at my life in a different light than before. It's been such a blessing. God is doing so much in my life. I love this trip. Argentina is wonderful. I could easily stay here...it's going to be so hard to leave!! But I love you my dear family and I miss you all...you too, Alex.
Bye!

Hi all,
It is so amazing here. I love every aspect of this trip. I love watching the faces of the people when we sing, they are so excited that we would come and do this for them. Yet, I feel so inadequate and I am, but the Lord is still using me! The ESL is also exciting. The last time I had two twelve year old girls. The girls knew very little english, and I know very little Spanish, but yet we were able to teach each other a lot. They were so excited to be there with me, and actually wanted me to give them homework for Friday. Hopefully, I will see them again.
I love you and miss all of you,
Love,
Leanna Joy
p.s. Mom and dad consider this your first postcard

Hey everyone,
The basketball clinic was amazing. I was so nervous going into it. It was a regular club team of about 20 guys who were all pretty good. I had the opportunity to share my testimony with the coach before practice. Practice went well. We went through some drills, and the coach really appreciated it because it was reinforcing skills he had been teaching. They scrimmaged for a little while and Steve Thayer and I stopped them periodically to stop them to coach them on things that they were doing wrong or poorly. After practice, they all sat on the bleachers, and I had the opportunity to share the Gospel with the whole team. It was so scary. I have never been more frightened or intimidated in my whole life. James Greenwood, who was interpreting was a real blessing and helped me along through the whole thing. It was such an amazing opportunity. The Lord is so amazing. We are so blessed to have gotten this chance to share the Gospel.
Love you all...especially, you, Em!

Hola family and friends,
Today we went downtown Buenos Aires. I have never seen anything like it in my entire life. Nine lanes were going in one direction. There were literally millions of people, and we ate in a three-story Burger King. Don't worry I didn't get lost, and I always had other people with me. Tonight, we went to a church in San Miguel, and I gave a testimony in Spanish. I was nervous, but it went O.K. After the service, a man gave his testimony about how the church started. His son was born blind and deaf, and he came to the church because he wanted his son to be healed. He is glad that his son is born like this so that he and his family could come to know Christ.
I love you and miss you,
Rachel Alley

Hey Family!
Argentina is amazing! I wish you guys could see it. Everything has been going really well so keep praying! I found out that girls don’t play basketball here, so me and Nat can’t really do anything in that area but we are still helping out where we can. The people here are so awesome, their faith is so strong. Praise the Lord that I have found a few that speak some English :) Even when they don’t speak English its fun trying to communicate with them. I have so much to tell you guys when I get back. I hope you all are doing well! I love you all! And I am praying for you.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Hope things are going well at home. It’s been a lot of fun, especially today. We went touring today, which was a lot of fun. Tell Abigail and Aushly that I got them a gift. Will tell more later, but thought I would say hi. Love you,
Ryan

From "Room 5"
Hey, hey, hey! It’s room 5 checking in again! So, we’ve been rooming together now for several nights and it has been interesting learning about each other. Recently we discovered…WE’RE ALL O.C.D!!! We set our alarm clocks at odd numbers, we can’t squeeze the toothpaste in the middle, and we all sleep on our right sides—FREAKY!! Oh, yes, we can’t forget the dancing skills, they’re stellar! That’s all the O.C.D.ness we can release tonight. Please keep in prayer for Mr. Trainer; as you can see he has his hands full—Chau Che!

Family and friends,
Argentina is amazing! God has been so good and has been completely giving us strength. Our days have been very busy with different ministry opportunities and my life has already been impacted greatly. I can’t wait to share it with you all. I miss you, Mom, Dad, and Dave – I love you very much.

Howdy folds,
So much has happened in just being here for five days. I am doing well. The food here is amazing, and I eat so much. Today, Thursday, I got to go shopping. I really enjoyed it, probably because I was shopping for others and not myself. For lunch I ate a whopper and fries in a three story burger king. That was amazing! The thing that has encouraged me the most while being here is the testimonies of the missionaries and Argentine Christians. The Lord has used the group to be a blessing to the Christians here, but they have been a bigger blessing to us. I love you, Mom, Dad, and siblings.
