I am so thankful that I brought down my manger scene with me. Zane enjoyed naming all of the pieces and learning about the reason for Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus! God thank you for sending your Son.
All dressed up to go to Deliah & Gus's wedding.
Opening presents on Christmas Eve (Argentines usually open gifts around midnight, but I couldn't wait. So we opened gifts around 10pm)
Zane's friend, Constanza LOVED her girlie pink water bottle from the States!
Zane and Constanza playing the night away.
We had a young Argentine family over for Christmas Eve. (Pablo & Andrea & Constanza Meuli)Andrea helped me(Beth) plan a very Argentine meal. (sandwiches, wine, chocolate raisen nut candies, beef, potato salad,veggies, icecream)
Love this picture :)
Toasting at midnight with Fanta
Love this picture :)
Toasting at midnight with FantaThere were a million fireworks at midnight. Our neighbors really got into it. One even zoomed into our apartment and left a mark on the wall. We also had a group of boys setting off firecrackers in a metal barrel right infront of our door until 4:30am!!! Our friends left around 2:30am. We went to bed and they went to visit their family.
Our Canadian missionary friend, Laura, was too sick to celebrate Christmas Eve with us but exchanged some gifts with us on Christmas day. She has been such an encouragement to us.
Los Changos (the guys) at our Christmas Day Asado (BBQ)
We had an amazing asado for our Christmas Day Dinner at the Borstad home. We praise God for wonderful friends to spend time with when we are away from our own families. The Borstads have been a God send to us this year.
Swimming on Christmas day...weird!
We were sitting on our friend's porch in the middle of the city watching all of the fireworks on New Years Eve & toasting. Toasting is a big deal down here. Chin chin.
Ringing in the New Year with the Ponce/Sale family
Manuel Ponce has been evangelizing the NW of Argentina for over 50 years.
We have a lot to learn from this family.
Zane rang in the New Year being the only child at the party but around 2:30 am the grandkids came to greet the family. So Zane got his second wind and enjoyed the 3 boys until 4am!
