Emmanuel - God with us!
A Special Visit
We were honored to have the visit of our special friends, Ralph and Janie Hiatt a few weeks ago.
Ralph spoke in one our chapel services at IBP and, of course, preached in surrounding churches all over the place. We were so glad that he could squeeze us in to his busy schedule. Janie got to visit the Patagonia for the first time. While we were busy most of the time working in Gaiman, they enjoyed our home in Puerto Madryn and a few days of R & R.
End of Year Activities
During the second bimester, it aways seems that there is so much more going on. Perhaps it's because of the three extra main events that take a good deal of planning and preparation, which requires a great deal of time and effort.
* There is the annual IBP Youth Day (IBP Joven) that we highlighted in our last post.
Our Chaplains, fellow missionaries, Ben & Belu Grams, Toby & Zeke |
This years theme was celebrating the decades... the 50's, 60's, 70's, and the staff was assigned medieval times.
Are you kidding me? Just what were they trying to say with that? Are we that far removed in ages? :-)
* Then, the grand ending to the schoolyear is graduation. What a special time of celebrating our 20 graduates.
Such a lovely group of young people. We will miss them!
Family
In Texas this year, our own Felicia, is also graduating! We are so proud of her. She is thrilled to have completed her studies in Communications from SAGU, Southwestern Assemblies of God University, in Texas.

Felicia had company over Thanksgiving this year as Jeremy travelled to Texas to be with her, and Eddie's parents and brother. He lives up north where he is finding out what a real white Christmas season is like as he studies Studio Music Production at NCU, Northcentral University in Minnesota.
