Fun at the Lujan Zoo 50 kilometers from Buenos Aires

Missionaries enjoy the occasional opportunity to get away and do something different! In September we enjoyed a visit from colleagues, Dan and Becca Vallette and their four children, who serve in Paysandú, Uruguay. Their visit gave us a good reason to visit the Lujan Zoo, an hour away.

Church Planting - Bible Institute - Camp Facility Developmente

Youth from the Chivilcoy Church attended winter youth camp in July. They enjoyed teaching from God´s Word, singing, fellowship and games.












One of the highlights of camp is a Bible competition in which contestants from each church memorize whole chapters of a book of the Bible and participate in answering questions about that particular book. The youth from the Chivilcoy church came in second place!


Andy has had a great school year studying art two evenings with a local art teacher. Ths is one of his masterpieces!! The odd looking black bottle at the top left is recognized in Peru for containing a regional drink called "chicha morada", "Coca-Cola" is typical to the States, and "mate" is a typical Argentine drink. The drawing depicts the diversity of Andy´s background - born in Peru, a U.S. citizen, and living in Argentina!
