Happy 2009 everyone! Ours has begun with quite the event filled weekend. We are enjoying the summer here in Buenos Aires. this past weekend we spent time with our church friends picnicing. Friday we had a wonderful time with some young families with children; our kids litteraly climbed from tree to tree. It was a great time of fellowship. Then on Saturday, we attended the annual presbytery soccer tournament! Now this is a big event; the youth and the not so "youth" play on teams representing their church. The winner gets a trophey, but more importantly the joy of beating the other churches. We had a great time watching the matches and cheering for La Mision. K played and he did pretty well considering he hasn't played for six years. Our kids just so enjoyed being with the youth. We had some great qualitiy time with the youth as well as the adults that attended. It was good to continue to build these relationships especially as we prepare to head on a mission trip with them in about a week. Of course no picnic in the summer is complete without a good ole water fight, and boy was it a water fight.
Our weekend ended with an event of a different type. We share it only to give glory to God for His protection and to ask you to continue to pray for God's protection on our family. Coming home from church we pulled into our driveway. I had come into the house already and K was getting "A" out of the car when two men came up to him and asked him for the keys to the car. K was able to look into their eyes and told them to leave with authority. Meanwhile the other guy tried to get his wallet out of K's pocket.. again K told him to leave. Thankfully K had noticed the gun he had was fake, thank God they didn't grab A, thank God they didn't come in the house since both the gate and the door were wide open! God was here watching over us. Then when we called the cops, the cop that came to take the report was named Angel! We got such a kick out of that.. we knew God was here and His angels were protecting us!
We praise God for this event Full weekend and we know He was in it in every moment! May we continue to see him every moment of 2009!
