On the 26th of December, Boxing Day, we gathered our team together and heading off on an 18 hour bus journey from Puerto Madryn to Bariloche. Upon arriving in Bariloche, we head out to the church with which we will be working for the next week. Our outreaches tend to be organised per week more than anything. Our goal is to help, serve, teach, and be an asset wherever and whenever we can during this time.
This first day was filled with getting to know different people, being introduced to the church and its members, and being allocated our home for the week. Miguel and I stay with Luis, in his small home, while the girls head out on the bus to a much larger house. After settling in, we all return to the church for the last service of 2009.
Taking advantage of the bus ride to catch up on some sleep after the Christmas celebrations.
The highway between Esquel and Bariloche.
The church in which we are working for all of this week.
This small little house is very comfortable and a great place for me and Miguel to stay, close to the church.
Although I am away from the office, the phone calls don't generally stop. This became my new office... until the rain set in.
Taking part in the last church service of the year.
