We have safely landed in Buenos Aires! The flight went really well, we got two meals and I watched shopaholic in spanish. When we arrived we had to all wear face masks when deplaning and they took our temperatures as well. There are a growing number of cases of swine flu so they are taking extra precausions I guess.
I am getting really excited about working with my team. There are three guys and two of us girls, and they are all really nice and I'm excited to spend the summer with them. Our team leads are really awesome as well, really loving people.
Mary Clare (the other girl) gave me a rough outline of what the weeks will look like. We will be going to the english institutes on monday, wednesdays, and thursdays. Fridays we will have english classes at the house we are staying at. Saturdays we will be with the youth group from a church here in town and Sundays we will be going to church. Tuesdays are our free days to see the sights :) We will also be going to some orphanages as well and playing with the kids!!!!!!!!
Well I'm very tired from the flight and think I'll go take a nap. Thanks for all your prayers for a safe flight.
P.S A big prayer request I have is for Martin's (our team leader) mom. She is sick and it is hard for him to be with us and be helping her at the same time.

Preparation
It is just 10 days till I head off to Argentina for two months and I am psyched. Lots of prayer, shopping, and packing fill my day as I get ready for this trip. Some verses that have been on my mind lately as I look forward to this trip are John 13:34-35 and Ephesians 6:19.
"A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" John 13:34-35
This verse I have been praying for our team this summer, that we would pour out love for one another and by that the people we meet would know that we are followers of Christ. Through this love we would be able to reach out to the people of Argentina.
"And also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel" Ephesians 6:19
I love this verse because it is exactly what I desire God to do, to give me the words to speak of the amazing love of Christ and what he did for us. I love that Paul calls the gospel a mystery because often times it seems just strange that God would work in this way but he did and I just desire for God to work through me in whatever way he desires this summer.
Well anyway I will try to write on this blog frequently this summer with updates of what is happening in my travels. I greatly appreciate your prayers and hope to include you as part of this trip through this blog.... :)
