Everyday life always has it's ups and downs. Chris was recently invited to speak at a church's first (ever) missions service / convention. He did an amazing job! But after service went outside to find that one of our car's tires had been punctured by a knife. So, he got all of the stuff out to change it (and put on the spare) - in his nice dress clothes, of course. After he had finished, a few more people were coming out of the church. Another pastor found that his van had not one, but two flat tires that had been cut with a knife as well. This is a problem, since no one carries TWO spare tires. So, they started calling around trying to find a tire repair place that was open - even walked around town a little trying to knock on doors. No one was open / available. Which really wasn't surprising since it was 1 am early Sunday morning. The pastor called his car insurance and they said that they would send someone "right out" and that it would take 2 hours (or possibly more) since the only available towing company would have to come from the neighboring capital city of Salta. Chris finally got home around 3 am and the pastor (to his house) around 5 am.
While Chris was gone, I needed to get ready for a baby shower the next day. With limited funds, we are always creative in what we give to people. I made (from leftover materials) this pink fleece baby blanket with purple trim. We are praying that things go well for this young couple with their first baby. We could only stay at the baby shower (which was an all night event) for a short time because then we were headed to the 43rd anniversary of the church, Templo Buenas Nuevas.
The anniversary service was great! We enjoyed a wonderful guest speaker, our presbyter from Salta, and tasty food prepared by the ladies of the church. It was chilly that night, since we are at the end of the fall season. God is continuing to move here in Jujuy! Continue to pray with us and for us for more salvations and health as we travel.
