Buenos Aires and the Elledges

Above are some pictures of: The argentine minsitry of defense building, some of the main streets in the center of Buenos Aires, Me and Rich out to eat (best steak ever!) and the 'Pink House' of the Argentine President. Apparently they loaded in reverse order, so the pictures are the Defense Ministry building last and the 'Pink House' first.

So the last few days I've got to spend alot of time with the kids from tha Villa again. It's been awesome. Last night especially was kool because we went to play soccer, and although we ended up not being able to play because our time got moved to thurday night, I was able to talk to the kids and Marcelo for quite a while with a little bit more Spanish vocabulary. Last night we also had 'escuele apoyar' which is like an after school help get together. Which more or less is us just talking and playing ping-pong.

The 3rd missionary family got back from their little vacation from northern Argentina on late Tuesday night. Their names are Rich and Jil Elledge and so far they have been incredibly encouraging and helpful. They had me over for dinner the last two nights and I got to spend the day with Rich. We took a bus this morning to Buenos Aires to get some money from the missions fund for their bills and one or two other errands. The city is just huge. That's the only way I can describe it. I saw a few things, including their 'white house' for their president. Which is actually completely pink. Then we went to a resturant that translates as 'the palace of the french fries.' Sounds cheesy right? It's not, a very very fancy place with the best steak I've ever had. It was only about $15 each for the steak, fries, bread, salad and juice. Pretty crazy but yeah I think I'm definitely going to go back there. We came home after that.

I'm psyched for this weekend because we're playing soccer the next two nights, hanging out with the kids in the mornings, and then Saturday we get to go to one of the kids houses to watch the first Argentina World Cup game. We're also going to have an asada, like a backyard steak grilling. Please pray for Enrique, Guri and Dario. They are 3 of the boys we work with alot and have asked them to come to a Missionary Bible camp for kids sort of deal in a few weeks. This could be a great opportunity for them to really accept Christ.
