dancing in the rain

Well our last party was a great success! We had red beans and rice and played bingo. We made paper airplanes and took lots of pictures! We said some goodbyes, but the church is having a special tea time for us today so many of them are coming to say goodbye there.
Our last weekend in Argentina has been filled with last minute things that we wanted to see and do. We went Uruguay on Friday and rode the Buquebus. It was awesome and very relaxing, just want we needed. On Saturday, we went the Chris (one of the missionaries) to the Province to have lunch at a down home Argentina grill. It was very good. The grill they cooked on was HUGE!!! Then we spent the afternoon with Karina, souvenir shopping and sharing coffee together. We walked along the port and talked about our experiences in Argentina. Then to close out the evening, we went to Spettus (the resturant I talked about before, that we promised to go back to). We took Eric and Erika as a thank you for all they had done for us while we were here. About 1 am, we headed home. We packed and stayed up late to be sure and be tired for the plane. Today, we visited one last place, La Boca (the city with the painted houses). It was very interesting and very different from anything else we had seen, but a lot of fun. We grabbed some lunch at Burger King and then closed out our sightseeing with a gigante cup of Freddo! (ice cream, that is).
We have a meeting with Eric to debrief our trip and then it is time to say our goodbyes. We have had a lot of fun and have made some wonderful friendships, but we pray that seeds have been planted and we will see all the people that we have grown to love in heaven one day. (but maybe before we meet in heaven, we will be able to come back)

This is will be my last post for a few days because we have our end meeting in Dallas. We will be in Dallas on Monday and Tuesday, but I hope to see most of you on Wednesday night at church.

Thanks for all your prayers and all your support. Our team would not have made it without you!
