~Talking from my heart~

I'm needing to make contact with Valerie Heskett.  There is a problem with email and my emails aren't getting through to her.  If any of you are in her Women of Worth group and could ask her to please write to me as soon as possible, I'd appreciate it tons! =)

Just like when we arrived in Colombia we are heading to Buenos Aires, Argentina...not knowing anyone (but a couple that Phillip met when he was there a year ago.) We have no idea where we are going to live, if we'll have internet, if I'll even have an oven or if we'll celebrate Thanksgiving in a hotel room cooking on a one eye burner, how often we'll get to check our email, and update my blog. If I'll even be able to bake any recipes to post on "Fun Food Friday", etc. Phillip had planned to make another trip to Argentina before we all go....but that didn't work out this time.  So, for now we are planning on staying in the hotel where Phillip stayed, and then trying to look for a place to rent.  I'm sort of feelin' like Sarah must have when Abram broke the news to her that they were leaving their city...not knowing where they'd go. =)

Now, I'm not telling you this to make you get out your hanky and dab at your eyes....I'm just talking from my heart and asking you to Pray with us that God will guide our every step.  =) Please pray that God will guide us as to where to live, what souls to touch for Him, etc. 

Phillip was just reading somewhere from a family that has moved a lot...that "unknown surroundings" can make a child feel insecure.  But, the writer went on to say that his wife does her very best to decorate, take the kids to the park, etc. to make them secure in who they are even in the midst of unknown surroundings! 

All that to say...that is one reason I do my best to decorate with flowers, make fun table settings, decorate for each season, and bake lots...for it really helps my family's hearts...and my heart too! =)

We are moving to Argentina on October 19th, Lord willing, but have tickets to return to Colombia in March to be here for some classes in the churches, and to work on some important Colombian papers.  We plan on still making trips into Colombia and working with the churches here for years to come!
These first steps of faith into a new country are hard...but we know that God is calling us and like He has done in Colombia, He will raise up a work in Argentina in His will and time.

I know that God will go before us/and with us...for He always has.  Our family is looking forward to this adventure!  We'll try to keep you posted as often as we can when we get to Argentina. Thank you for your prayers and your sweet comments...they mean A LOT to me/us!~
