Beau's Two Cents- I mean dos pesos de Beau (workin on it)

Hi I'm substituting in for Justin, who's trying to un-wrinkle his clothes at the moment. The whole group is absolutely stoked to get out and about prayer walking and sharing the gospel tomorrow. When we got in today, although most of us were exhausted from sitting for seven and a half hours in our cross-continental flight from Panama to Argentina, with our knees almost touching our chins, we were dying to get out and about the capital. After stashing our baggage in our hotel we went out to a local baptist church with the Dave Sinclair (our local missionary). However, in the service most of us hit a wall of fatigue. I looked behind me and found Sarge smirking at my losing battle with the napping monster, but on taking a second glance a few minutes later I saw Sarge chin to chest in full slumber. Later on though, after a large nap at the hotel revived the team, we went to a meet and greet with four missionaries here in Buenos Aries. Dave and Paula Sinclair, and Aron and Stacie Bray, they mentioned some culture differences for us to keep in mind, such as the cheek to cheek kiss. These missionaries inspire me. They're so passionate for reaching the lost of the Argentina, and they have such a patient outlook on the difficulties of their new culture. Both couples are quite recent arrivals, and they appear to be adjusting quite well. Before leaving we shared a "Mate tea," it's so bitter that regardless of my attempts to douse it with sugar, the bitterness of it triumphed. It puts hair on your chest, I'll say that much. The compact, vertical urban environment in this city, is very different than Bako where everything is spread out. Lastly its amazing to me how Christ's love crosses all cultural and language barriers. In going to the local church we were welcomed like family by the Christians there, which I guess we are in Christ. Our fearless leader Wes, pointed out how amazingly incredible it will be to spend eternity worshiping with Christians such as those. It is the love of Christ we experienced in the local church, that we hope to share with others during the rest of our trip in Argentina.
