Happy Saturday everyone! I have been in Argentina for over a week now and have just over that amount of time to wait until the rest of the crew arrives. I have been very busy working on the girls room and getting the house ready for them. It is cold here, it finally warmed up the last couple of days, but I heard that a cold front is coming tomorrow.

Today I had the privilege to go to a "little league" soccer game. We loaded up a gaggle of kids into 3 vehicles and made the 1 1/2 hour journey to a arena area that had 2 dirt soccer fields. I rode in a tiny little car with 1 other adult and 8 kids-see photo-. It was like a circus act with all of us piling out of that thing. We had a very good time. There were 4 games total that our boys were involved in and they lost every one of them.

Things are moving forward here in Quinta Betel. Some of the kids that we had the opportunity to meet in February have been adopted by very loving homes. One boy was returned to his home and his family is doing great- praise God! There are other kids that will be adopted soon. God is truly doing amazing things, not only for these kids, but for families that for one reason or another do not have children and desire a family.

Thank you for your prayer, please keep praying for the kids here, for the staff and for us.
