Three Years Later...

 2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

We arrived last Thursday morning after a very uncomfortable flight. The temperture in the plane was very cold. This was our first time flying Alaska Airlines, and I think it will be the last. We arrived cold, tired and hungry!  After picking up our rental, we drove a few miles until we found our favorite cafe for breakfast. We were so glad that it survived COVID. The Argentinian owner was very glad to see us back and gave us hugs. We continue to the Hacienda after being fortified with and excellent breakfast.

I sit outside to read my Bible every morning. This is my view.

There are changes everywhere here. Even the front gate is new and improved! Instead of being a problem, COVID resulted in a big boom for the Hacienda. There is construction all over the place. New condominiums are being built, homes, new developments, etc. This is a 4,500 acres compound, so there is a lot of room. We had to go to the office to get the keys because we sold the place three years ago. It is a little strange to be back to our old place, but as guests. Our friend Luis Carlos, who works in the office, met us there and went with us to the condo to help us with the suitcases. PTL! We were wondering how we were going to take the suitcases upstairs without hurting John's shoulder. One option was to unpack on the first floor, and then take things little by little upstairs! Once settle, we started visiting friends and catching up. I keep fortgetting to take pictures, but we have seen most of our closest friends so far.

Sunday we went to church, of course, but the pastor and his wife were at a youth retreat. We were disappointed. Attendace was very low. But we were received warmly. One of the ladies had tears in her eyes when she saw us.

The building to the right is the Sunday School.

Today Carlos and Rosario are arriving from the capital and will spend four days with us. 

I will keep you posted about once a week. Thank you for praying for us.
