Thanksgiving fellowship---- Holly helping in Sunday School------- Learning to make yogurt & cheese
Hello!
Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving with fellowship, family and freinds. I was at the farm and we had 15 of us there and it was a potluck. Gary made a smoker out of an old stove and we had smoked pig (from our farm) and a chicken (the photo at the top) ... I got to meet some other missionaries so that was great!
I am currently in Buenos Aires for more languge school for 2 weeks. Its just across the river from Montevideo and was the perfect opportunity to get a taste of Argentina. My living situation isn't the host family situation like I had hoped for but God is showing me that I need to rely on Him through frustrations and come before Him always in prayer. I am in a class of 5 and REALLy like my professora and the other classmates. I was blessed to go to church with Annie and Bill Kennedy..friends of friends from Boulder last Sun. They had another missionary from the states translate the message for me, which was wonderful. Her name is Liz, and is a Doctor here doing missions work. It was great to connect with her. We will continue to pray for one another and keep in touch.
After church, I went to a celebration with Bill and Annie at the home of one of the boys who was baptized that day....I ate tongue, homemade empanadas, and rode a mechanical bull they rented for the party....can you believe it? too funny. I have been invited to go out on a boat with the family tomorrow so that will be good for my language immersion! (they speak VERY little English)
Keep praying for rain in Uruguay please as people were losing their crops. We are blessed to have a little creek on the farm and an irrigation "system" that Gary designed with a pump to get water into a place where we water our large gargen from. The pump broke and we didn't get it back from being fixed for almost 2 weeks so me almost lost our crop as well.. Uruguay has been in a drought, but here in B.A. we just had 4 days of rain...I pray UY got some as well.
I have heard from many of you that you aren't getting my blog so I will try and correct that ....I thought many of your were receiving it, but you aren't...blessings to all of you--Holly
our first home made cheese!
