I have been here in Buenos Aires now for one week and half or something. However it feels like a month or something! Here at the base we'll always have our days so full. I have also adapted myself here well I guess, so actually I almost feel I never was away from here.
Something I have already done. I designed a flyer to advertise Hiram's concert in Puerto Rico. Hiram is leading the art ministry with his wife Paula, but now he's in Puerto Rico raising some funds to the family. I also made a short video to advertise the concert.
I have also been working with another video: AME school 2013. Our ministry starts running a 6 month art school for dancers, actors and musicians. That was the reason I first came to Argentina last year - to do the AME school 2011. Anyway, with this video I'm working with we want to promote the school. I'll post it here at soon as it's ready!
I'm also making some paper work to get a residence of Argentina so I wouldn't need to get out of the country every 3 months... It has already been a bit of work... Praise God I have friends helping me with this complicated paper stuff. Btw, it's all in Spanish...
I have been playing keyboard in some worship times and also practiced with Jeremy's band. This Monday we also got together with some artists to have a small Bible study in downtown. Oh, and I also started my singing classed once again!
This all has been a lot of work but we have also celebrated! My friend's brother got married last Saturday! Jonatan did the art school with me and I have become to know his brother by visiting his house a lot. I was so happy for the invitation and even more happy that I actually got the opportunity to participate la fiesta.

Today we had El Día Del Niño (Children's day) here in Argentina. As a base we arranged a big party and invited all the kids from the neighborhood to come. 150 kids came today for few hours to the base.
We played some games and ate some sweet things. But this year we also shared something important to the children. During the day we talked about child abuse and how to prevent oneself from sexual abuse. Here in Buenos Aires it's such a great problem so we wanted to bless these kids with this really important message. It's not an easy theme to talk but we had prepared few plays to make things easier to understand. Every child also received a book with the important message how to keep oneself safe.

| "¡Felíz Día del Niño! un regalo inolvidable" - I worked the whole morning (4 hours) making this... |

| From the play: Grandma telling her grandchildren how to take care of one's private parts. |

| Happy kids with their books in the end of the day. |
The day was long and stressing but everything went super well. With all kids we prayed Jesus to come into our life. Some kids also shared their experiencies about some kind of abuse. Most of the kids had their parents with them so we were also able to share with them what we have on our heart.
I'm giving thanks for:
- I had the opportunity to be in the wedding
- I have seen many of my friends again!
- How God used us to minister the kids of this neighborhood today
- God answered all my prayers I posted last time!
I'm praying for:
- everything that has to do with my residence... The whole process is a bit complicated
- deeper encounters with God
- my finances - it has been a step of faith to come here again for such a long time
