We rang in 2012 with our friends the Ponce family. Last year we celebrated with part of them and this year with ALL of them. Zane loved playing with the boys! And we loved hanging out with this precious family.

Our 2011 Christmas tree! It is has all homemade ornaments on it. This year Zane added a few that he made. Zane is totally into 'Baby Jesus'. He shouts it out whenever we see one. "BABY JESUS!!!!!". This is pretty common since we live close to a Virgin Mary statue that is holding the baby Jesus.He was really excited when I put up my Willow Tree Nativity set. However, within 2 hours a sheep's leg

Zane had a fantastic experience in Preschool (Age 3). I was NEVER going to send him to preschool but Zane's best friend & neighbor was going and REALLY wanted Zane to go to school with him. David and I prayed and said that if God wanted Zane to go to this school ONLY HE could open the doors and allow it to happen. You see it was late into registration and there was a waiting list of 15 other

Christmas 2011 God chose us to be a blessing to the Gonzales family. Here is the story. Oct 2011 our friend and sister in Christ, Doris, was hospitalized for 10 days. At the same time her 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter was hospitalized with complications with the chickenpox. During their hospitalizations Milagros, the 10 yr old, granddaughter was ALSO hospitalized with sever pain. Quickly they

Time of TransitionIn May we officially finished 1 year of formal language training. We developed a transition plan for this year in order that I (David) can begin to start some formal ministry. We identified 3 main objectives. 1) Continue studying Spanish. Beth and I both will continue with occasional Spanish classes as well as have a language helper in the home weekly. This will include

Zane had a week full of birthday celebrations. Zane and his bestest buddy, Agustin both turned 3 last week. Agustin on May 2nd and Zane on May 4th. We celebrated at his pre school class during their 'snack time'. Zane felt very special and received a TON of gifts. (They are actually still coming in. That doesn't happen in the States.)

A Very Busy Beginning to 2011 Normally summer is a dead time in Tucuman, but for us Jan-March was busy with traveling. David was asked to give a counseling training to some Christian young adults and community leaders in Catamarca that were putting on a youth camp. He presented ALL IN SPANISH! Then he was asked to be a group leader at the camp the next week. He enjoyed 5 full days of

Well ,we started out the morning like this around 7:45. Zane is used to sleeping until 9, so this was a bit rough. Let's hope we get into more of a routine. However, Zane was eager to leave the house and see his friend, Agustine. He looks so grown up. Zane and Agustine are in the car ready to go. Too adorable.

We really enjoyed our first vacation in Argentina. We weren't really sure what to expect, but for the most part we really enjoyed ourselves. I think we came back refreshed and with wonderful memories. We traveled with Doug (David's brother), Ivanna (Zane's babysitter/our friend), Erica (a new Minnesota friend that is down here to study Spanish for 2 months), and US. Here are some of the

Trials & True Colors I (Beth) cannot tell you how many times in the past 6 months I have said “this is the hardest thing I have EVER done in my life or NOTHING is ever EASY here.” Besides living in a new culture, learning a new language, and developing a new support system, I have also struggled with illness after illness: headaches, extreme nausea (1st term pregnancy), colds, & thyroid concerns.

Our heart grieves as we tell you that Baby Roberts #2 is not longer with us, however is with our Sweet Father in Heaven. We have had 2 weeks of intense emotions! We have cried, questioned, laid our heads on our Father's lap, and have experienced the church body BE the hands of Christ extended to us.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement over the past couple of weeks. I (Beth) felt like I was back in survival mode, which is NOT a fun feeling. Thankfully, I feel like I am getting over that hump and getting into more of a rhythm that works for our family and my energy level. Just a few quick updates:WE HAVE MOVED INTO OUR APARTMENT!

Please pray for her to continue to learn Spanish well and to be able to do the simple things throughout her day. Beth is also having some complications with her thyroid. She is seeing a specialist

The other day I (David) jokingly told some friends that Zane was the most “well-adjusted” member of the family right now! They laughed at the thought of a toddler making transition look easy while his parents are struggling along. However, the reality is that Zane has loved being in Argentina. He relishes meeting new people, exploring new homes, chasing dogs and cats, and having his cheeks

Today marks 2 weeks that we have stayed in the Pereira home . We are at the halfway point of our home stay. We have been so blessed to be in a wonderful warm home. It has been a safe place to get our feet wet with the Spanish language and Argentine culture. God has been meeting some of our HUGE prayer requests and we wanted to let you know that your prayers are being answered....SO THANK YOU AND

So we have been in Argentina for 1 week now and I (David) am sure that people are wondering what we are up to. After spending a few days in Buenos Aires with a missionary and his family, we moved on to the city we will be calling home (Tucuman) for our language study. The trip from Buenos Aires to Tucuman was about 15 hours on a bus. The bus ride was very comfortable, but I am still trying to get

Early Thur morning we woke up, finished packing and headed off to the airport to begin our journey to Argentina. (Thanks to all who helped send us off!) We were welcomed at the airport by being told that we weren't allowed to fly to Argetina because we only had one way tickets and no visas! We were temporarily nervous, but several phone calls and questions to supervisors eventually resolved

Waiting for DepartureIf you haven’t heard yet, our goal of arriving in Argentina by the beginning of February is very unlikely. We are disappointed, but are trusting that God’s timing is perfect and that He has purpose for us in the U.S. while we are here. At the same time, we want to work hard and be faithful in our support team building. We trust that God will honor our faithfulness. So what is

A dreaded moment in my life happened this past Friday. I have known for over 18 years that I wanted to serve others as a missionary and that would mean leaving my family. Well the rubber met the road just 3 days ago. My parents were in CO for 2 weeks during Christmas. We had a wonderful time together, but then we had to say goodbye. How do you go about saying goodbye to someone you love so dearly

Savoring Every MomentChristmas is my (Beth’s) favorite time of year. I love baking cookies, spending time with family, and remembering the birth of our Savior. However this year is different. We are still doing many of the same activities like baking, sledding, exchanging gifts, playing with the nieces and nephews, and drinking lots of coffee. But at the end of it all, there are some BIG goodbyes

The question has been asked frequently this past year. "Are you excited about moving to Argentina?" The answer seems obvious, "Yes, of course!" and this is how I have answered each time sincerely. The reality is that I have always hesitated before answering this question. I remind myself that I am deeply excited to serve God as a missionary in Argentina. A reminder has been necessary because I

November Roberts' ReportHABLA ESPANOL?For those who may not know, the official language of Argentina is Spanish. Between Beth and I, we have had 7 years of class room Spanish learning. I would like to tell you that we speak well and are ready to jump right into ministry, but that would be a lie! We have a lot to learn and will spend at least 9 months in Argentina in full time language study when

Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time in Yosemite National Park. During my time there I found myself stopping to look at some of the huge redwood trees that California is famous for. I was amazed at their magnitude and considered how deep and strong their roots must be. Hundreds of years being planted in the same spot allows a tree to become strong and mighty. Its resiliency allows it

UNDER THE RADARIn 2007, 30,000 Argentines stood outside of Buenos Aires protesting child hunger in Argentina. “Hunger is a Crime” was their slogan. This may come as a surprise to many who have seen the Argentine economy improve over recent years. Many outsiders look at the country’s capital, Buenos Aires and see a cosmopolitan city full of wealthy tourists. However, despite a recovery in many

I stared for about a minute on just the first section of the population statistics and let it all sink in. Please take some time today and click on this site.

Today I (Beth) had an incredibly tought moment.My 4 year old nephew, Elijah, asked if I was going to come to his 5th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese next April. I had to pause and think about how I was going to answer that. Our target date to leave for Argentina is early January of 2010. We would be in Argentina by Elijah's birthday. How do you explain to a 4 year old that you can't make it to a

Today we put our house up on the market. Yep, 9175 W. Cedar Dr. Unit E is officially up for sale!! David has put a lot of time into getting it all ready by painting, cleaning, and tiling. I, Beth, have sorted, donated, and packed up a lot of our belongings. Please pray that our house will sell quickly and as painlessly as possible. We know that NOTHING is too difficult for our God!

A Time of TransitionBecome a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant. -Proverb The Robert’s family is becoming a student of change. Change is inevitable for us. But that is OK, because we have confidence that God is in the middle of our change. One change we are currently making are some home improvements, so we can put our townhome on the market.

God is truly blessing us everyday. We are now 58% supported. We have people interested in buying our home without even putting it on the market. And we have a really healthy & energetic almost one year old. Check out our video on this blog page. (It is right under the top large picture.)

54% SUPPORTEDDavid & I sit back in awe of what God is doing right before our eyes. Over the past 6 months God has brought 22 families & 5 churches to partner with us in our ministry to Argentina. With those faithful supporters we are now over the 50% mark!!! In our last newsletter we stated that our target date to be in Argentina was Sept. of 2009. We have since learned that the Converge

Last Sunday we had the privilege to share our hearts and ministry at the Rock of SW, one of our home churches. After one of the services I heard....Mrs. Roberts, Hi Mrs. Roberts. Now that can only mean 1 thing in my world.....one of my previous students had found me. I turned around and saw Jared, a student I had last year, and his father. I was so surprised to see them.What Jared's father

God desires to heal our wounds The years of 1976-83 were a dark time in Argentina’s past. During this time there was an internal conflict between the military led government and political activists. The atrocities that occurred are now known as the “Dirty War”. It is estimated that 30,000 Argentine civilians disappeared during this time. The government captured any suspected activists and

So our small group Bible study just started a new video series called NOOMA by Rob Bell. The first video was called Rhythm. It was about being in tune with God on a day to day basis. He did a great picture of showing a symphony playing together, in tune together, and being directed together. It reminded me of a dance, a simple, yet beautiful dance that we do with our Lord and Savior everyday. One

Last beautiful Sunday afternoon, my friend Jen & I took a walk to our friendly neighborhood Starbucks. We suited up our strollers with our kids, diaper bags, & gift cards(the only way we can afford to go to Starbucks these days...SAD!), and headed out for an walk/adventure. We enjoyed the amazing 60 degree weather the month of January had to offer and just chatted away. After 5 or 6 blocks, we

Zane's 1st Christmas was in Kansas. He survived 2 super long car rides & an ice storm with a loss of electricity. However, Zane enjoyed playing with lots of new toys and meeting many of the Roberts' side of the family.David was able to share at Troy First Baptist Church, his home church. We were very encouraged by many people from the church. I know we will be covered in prayer by many of their
