Argentina ~ Part 3

LOBOS ~

This town is about 30 minutes from Word of Life and it's where we moved in 1985 when my Dad started the church - Missionary Baptist Church. There had not been any preaching of the Gospel for over 100 yrs and that is why my dad became burdened for this town. Adri was my dad's secretary and an alumni from Word of Life and Faby got saved through my mom and Adri. They remained best friends throughout the years and even came to the States to live with us in 1996 and take care of my mom the last 3 months she was with us here on earth. They are so close to my heart!

Faby, James, Lucas and I in front of the restaurant we ate at "El Lupo"

My meal...

James' meal...

Provoleta ~ one of my favorite things to eat in Argentina. It is grilled provolone cheese with oregano and olive oil, it's an appetizer to die for!!

James about to taste the provoleta...

Adri trying to get us to eat cow's pituitary gland....yes, that's correct. It's a specialty there. NO THANKS!!!

Adri, Lucas and I

Adri and I in front of our old house. My parents bought this in 1985 and fixed it up. Beautiful house and lots of memories...we lived there for 7 yrs. Hard to believe some of the wallpaper my mom put up is still there today.

This in on the right side of the house and we use to eat all of those grapes from the vines and give them away to lots of people...

This was David and Danny's bball hoop from the 80's. Boy did it get used!! The swimming pool was not there when we owned the house.

Our kitchen....wow! Same floors and same table...it sure did bring back lots of memories!

Trapani Ice Cream.... it was there when we lived there in the 80's and they have the best ice cream by far!! It's all made right there in the store. I remember as kids we used to love to watch them make it. The girls enjoying some tasty ice cream I had been missing for 9 years Yes, even Lucas got some ice cream from Tia Faby.... who gives an 8 month old ice cream? She kept saying: "But he loves it, he wants more." Well, of course, who doesn't want more ice cream? :)

Where the ice cream is made ....

I pretended I didn't know any Spanish so I could get a tour of the back and take some pictures of how the ice cream is made. It was hilarious....mostly because I would forget I wasn't suppose to know Spanish and start talking to Adri. Oops.... :)

James and Lucas behind the same pulpit my Dad preached from for years

The original Bible and pulpit from when my Dad started the church

Selva and I. Selva got saved as a teen while we were in Lobos.... she is now married, has 2 boys and her husband is one of the Pastors of the church. How awesome is our God!!!

The front of the church my Dad founded in 1985. It is exactly one block from our old house.
