My dear Family and Friends,
All is going well here. It has been a busy week. I look forward to seeing everyone next week. However, I have come to the point where I do not want to leave. I love it here so much. God has given me such a love for Argentina. It will be very hard to leave. But I know God had me/us here ¨for such a time as this.¨
God has been doing great things as usual. Today we went to Pilar. . . in two days we passed out 8,000 fliers and tracts. We had a concert tonight. . . we did not expect much, but God ¨wowed¨ us as usual. We had 19 visitors. And to make the night even better, 2 people got saved! It was amazing! God is so good. He works in wonderful ways. I love it here. I´m not lying when I say I would be so happy if God called me to Argentina. The ministry here is thriving. I can´t wait to someday be on the mission field.
We have a busy rest of the week. Keep praying! God is working!
I love you all and are praying for you!!
Love, Emily
Alex - We went to a big restaurant and our waiter´s name was Alejandro. . . that´s Alexander in Spanish. I thought of you. . . miss you and still pray for you.
This Maranatha missions team is ministering in Argentina from July 28 to August 18, 2010.

Hey, Buen Dia (accent the i ) :)
Yesterday was amazing! We were going to sing in a plaza in the morning but no one was there so we decided to pass out flyer's for the concert we were having later. We covered more ground faster then we thought because we kept running into each other. After we were done passing out flyer's we went to Siga la Vaca again :). We had a fun time hanging out in the playground just outside the restaurant after we ate. We went back to the plaza we were at on Tuesday and passed out more flyer's. I was able to talk to a man who went to America for 7 years as a Mormon missionary. I think he originally wanted to talk to me because I spoke English but it was good to encourage him not to fall away from the Lord. He said that he is a former Mormon, so I asked what he is now and he said he was nothing because he had too much religion (20 years). I told him you can have too much religion but you can never have too much of God. I invited him to the concert but he was not interested. Pray God will grip his heart.
Time and time again the Lord blesses even when we doubt. Many of us did not think we would have a good turn-out because the people who would come would be off the street that received a tract with an invitation. The Lord allowed about 15 - 20 people to come. Many of them stayed after to chat and have some soda and cookies. Mellisa had an opportunity to talk with two ladies and gave them the plan of salvation. Mr. Greenwood was able to talk with a man for a while and eventually Jeremy talked with him. One of the ladies and the man Jeremy talked to made professions of faith. God called two more people into his family! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Today we are going to a public school to do a concert and hopefully preach the simple gospel! I have been wanting to go to a school to minister to the children and today's the day. I am super excited. Please pray that the Lord will continue to show himself faithful in the next three days. God is doing a great work here and as a team we appreciate your prayers. Thanks for your faithfulness

Hola everyone!
Praise the Lord for His amazing power. I doubt Him constantly yet He never ceases to ¨wow¨ me! Last night we held a service in a rented building and 19 people attended - just from receiving one of the 8000 flyers we passed out the last 2 days! The Gospel was presented and after the service, 2 people accepted God´s free gift of salvation! The Lord has been so good to us the past 3 weeks. Althought I am looking forward to getting home and seeing my family, I will greatly miss the ministry here in Argentina. It´s just not the same back in the States! But we do serve an unchangeable God and He does great and wonderful things all the time - whether we are in the U.S. or in Argentina! Please pray for us today - we are going to a school to do a musical presentation. Afterwards they want us to have a Q and A time about our faith. Pray that seeds are sown!
Thanks for your love, prayers, and support. -Tiffany
P.S. I miss you, Tim! I will call you as soon as I can on Sunday morning! I love you!
