My Third Day.....

I can´t believe I have only been here in Argentina for 3 days. It feels like I have been here much longer than that. Like I said before, it just feels normal. I love being with people from Latin America! Things are still great with the family I am living with. They are amazing.

Today we went to a comedor(something like a soup kitchen) where we made and served lunch to families who don´t have enough money to buy food. It is a place where they can come and receive a free meal everyday. The people who run the comedor are not Christians, so they didn´t quite understand why we would come from the states and serve other people. It was something strange to them, but a great testimony and a great opportunity to share Christ with them. We also visited a public hospital where we visited different people in the hospital and prayed for them, and shared with them about Christ. It was neat to see how open everyone was to hear about Christ, especially being in a place where they felt like they had no hope, because they were sick. I had the opportunity to pray with a 98 year old woman. She couldn´t believe that I came from the states to visit her. She started to cry, because she said not even her own son visits her. I made me cry, to think that she doens´t have very many people visiting her.

Tomorrow we are going to visit one of the prisons here. I think it is the international women´s prison. Please pray that we will have opportunities to share with the women about Christ. Even though they are in prison, they can be forgiven for what they have done, and have hope!

I hope to write more tomorrow.

I am loving Argentina more and more every day!
