Our Last Day In Mendoza

Tomorrow we head back home. Wilmore seems so distant somehow even though we have just been here a little over a week. Then again, it seems like we just got here, so I'm still trying to sort out this trip in my head.

We spent the earlier part of today shopping at various tourist shops, then ventured to the mall's food court to order on our own! From there, we spent some time at Hugo's house playing ping pong tournaments and setting up their new Wii. Then, we headed to the Archer's house again to eat a pre-dinner dinner and get ready for the youth service at the church downtown.

We arrived at the youth service a bit later than we had hoped, but we were still welcomed with warm greetings and began with an absolutely riduculus skit involving our whole team. As Vince was presenting our team, we would get up in groups and act like chickens, air planes, and monkeys. He asked us why we thought we were these things, and we answered, "Because we eat corn; because we live in an airport, etc." Finally, the last of our team interrupted with praise to God, and explained that they were Christians because they went to church, read the Bible, and did good works. This segwayed into the message about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Then, Elizabeth Lloyd gave her testimony which Joel faithfully translated into Spanish, and one of the youth there gave a testimony as well. The main message given to us by Mr. Archer (Vince), was followed by a time for socializing and snacks. Rose and her husband also arrived at this time to present our team with t-shirts from AMAD and thanked us again for our work there this week.

I am definitely sad to be leaving this place, but motivated to get this video out so that more can learn about the needs of the AMAD ministry.

Well, I had better get to packing! We have to get up in just a few hours to head to the airport! I will post one last time to let you all know that I've made it home safely.

God Bless!
