We spend much time takign in new things and this leaves us with very little time to fully digest all that we see. In spending an extra day in a small town waiting for our clothes to be clean and dry, we spent time thinking and making this list.
Theologian Philip Sherrard, whom I know nothing about, said that "Creation is nothing less than the manifestation of God´s hidden being."
We have seen amazing landscapes and natural wonders as well as come into contact with many beautiful people. Here are some of the places, over the last 11 weeks or so, that we have seen the face of God more clearly:
-In Hector, who showed us great hospitality from few resources.
-In the sharing of a maté with farmer Gabriel
-In the flocks of sheep
-In lunch and a warm welcome from family of a friend in Buenos Aires
-In Iguazu Falls
-In a campsite overlooking a bay
-In penguins, sea lions and sea otters
-In a woman giving us a ride to a lake and bringing us towels from her home, without even knowing our names
-In seeing people with seemingly little, stopping on the street to find change for the homeless, and giving it with a smile
-In Mr. Hugo´s smile and ability to make his guests feel welcome
-In a kind local man who made change for 2 strange gringos in order to help them ride the city bus (after no stores would do so)
-In Alex the Brit making us finally laugh while telling us about being robbed by "gypsies" after a stressful day of losing a bookbag ourselves.

Thank you for this good word.
Someone once said, "God created a big and beautiful world and I want you to see and enjoy as much of it as possible." It makes me smile to know that you are taking that advice and sharing in some of those wonderful things that God created.....from the lowly sheep to the magnificent waterfall!
Someone who loves you both a lot!!
Oh good grief. You are being called now.
You are immersed in the wonders of the world and it is soaking in. You know you'll have to do a focus when you get back. At least one and probably a Wed night program as well. It will be impossible to miss out on the interesting details as you share them!!
loveyou
me
