We finally touched down in BA this morning at about 8:00AM. Thanks for all of your prayers as we made the last leg of our travels here. We actually arrived an hour earlier than expected. It was cool to finally meet Dave Sinclair, the missionary we are working with. The flight went very smoothly (finally), and we had a safe commute from EZE (BA Int'l Airport) to our hotel. It's definitely a nice place to stay; much more compact than our rooms in Panama City, but who are we to complain?
After we got settled in the hotel (and figured out how to work the bidet)(but no one has been brave enough to use it) we went to visit the oldest Baptist church in BA. It was began in 1906. It was very traditional, and I was able to follow along during the music portion. However, once the pastor began speaking, I couldn't follow anymore and may have (okay, I did) slip in a little nap. I think everyone on the team got a little rest during church. After we got out, I told Priscilla, "I really could've used subtitles in there."
Afterward we went to lunch at a local restaurant. All of us had malinesas, a type of fried, breaded veal. While it was good, we all realized that in Argentina the people do not season their food prior to cooking. We did a little walking around down then took the subte (subway) back to the zone our hotel is in.
Tonight we have our orientation at the Sinclairs' home this evening, so I am going to get some rest before then. Keep us in your prayers, and I'll make sure to let you know as more specific requests become known.
In His Service,
Justin
