Sorry I took so long to post. So I'll catch you up on the last three weeks of DTS.
The third week we were in Argentina we went to a neighborhood about and hour outside of the city, called Barrio Sacchi. We stayed at the little church there, and basically tried to help the church there be encouraged and grow. So, we did some door to door evangelism and did some kids programs. We also participated in their already established services. However, there was one thing that occurred this week that makes it a week that will always stay in my mind. There is a family living behind the church, on the property. Their son was very sick with cerebral palsy and was close to dying. A few days after we had been there, and had gotten to know the family a little bit, the mom came and knocked on our door as we were hanging out and told us that she thought her son had just died. So, we went over to her house and checked on her son and called an ambulance. It turns out her son had died. It was a very impactful time to encounter death on the other side of the world and how different people and cultures react. The parents of this boy had, for me, an amazing response. They were ministering to others and were very positive because they knew that their little boy had gone to a place free of pain and suffering to live with his best friend, Jesus. They also knew that he had fulfilled the Lord's plan for his life by being a witness to his doctors and nurses. It was a great reminder of the hope and love we have in Jesus.
The last week we were in Cordoba we stayed at the church where the YWAM Cordoba base is located. It was a time of reconnecting with some of the people we had met throughout our time in Argentina and building up the base in Cordoba. We were able to go with the staff of that base to visit a house they are thinking about buying and pray over the land. It was a nice relaxing end of our time in Argentina.
28 HOURS LATER
We arrived back in Monterrey and we able to see all of our friends again!! Like Dina, Heather, Casey, Kelly, and Levi, our other classmates. It was really fun to hear each others stories and hear how God worked in their outreaches. This week we really just relaxed, played Phase 10, and reflected on DTS. It was a great last week spending time with people
