July - August Blessings!
We enjoy the friendship, fellowship and the mutual encourgement of missionary colleagues and visitors throughout the year. We´re grateful to the Lord for the Mission house we administrate that provides plenty of space for visitors. In July we enjoyed the visit of first term colleauges from Uruguay, Andy and Kolette Thompson and their two children Josiah and Natalia.

Starting left: Debbie, Lois McAllister & Lois Kenney (colleagues in Chivilcoy), Nikki Fredette (student visitor from Northland Baptist Bible College), Andy, Danny, Josiah Thompson, Natalia Thompson (hidden), kristi, Kolette and Andy Thompson (missionaries in Uruguay).

On July 2nd. Tom turned a whopping 43 years old!


On July 23rd. short term missionary Julio Method and Angela Flores (chilean p.k.) arrived for few days visit! Julie was finishing her second short term in Chile before returning to Florida where she teaches in a Christian school.

On Sunday July 27th. at four a.m. we were bleary-eyed, but waiting expectantly for Kati and Grampa Gibbons to come through customs in Buenos Aries!! Kati had been away for one year, almost to the day! Grandpa had not been in Argentina since 2002. We enjoyed a faboulous four and a half weeks together.

Kati shares a testimony at church about her first year away from home at Bible Institute.


Kati, Natalie Holmes, Kristi and Pamela Buasso sing special music. Natalie and Pamela were visiting from Buenos Aires.

One of our family get-aways while Kati and Grandpa were here was a day trip to Temaikén, a beautiful zoo about two hours away.

Grandpa seemed to have a great time, but we thought maybe our daily pace was a little taxing for him!!!!

Below Grandpa takes a trip down memory lane looking over our neightbor´s 1929 Ford!


Debbie and the kids use their music talent in Sunday School and church
