Update 9.2.08 Posted By: jason (9/20/2008 7:13:30 AM) Hi everyone: It is great to update you once again. We trust that you will find this update a great encouragement. We are in Santa Rosa. We are all doing well in the city of Santa Rosa. We are learning all the names of the streets and getting to know the city. There is not much to do outside of the city, so the city has a lot on parks and special events. So Jonathan and Nicolas have been enjoying going for walks and spending time at the parks. Our new home. We have been very busy moving in to our new home. As you remember, the mission bought a home for us and there were some problems in getting it and moving in. Well, as of the 4th of August we have been in our new place and we have been fixing it up. We are very thankful for your prayers concerning our housing situation. It is great to have a place to call home after living out of suitcases for 5 months. Kids Today we went to get Jonathan’s hair cut. His curls were getting out of control. As we mentioned the kids really like the parks and being outside. Jonathan is riding his bike of course with training wheels and he really likes going to the park and do his site seeing. Nicolas has his two first front teeth and he is starting to crawl and trying to walk. They are growing up, I guess. Our team As you remember, my parents were already here and we had arrived in mid-July but the Longhin family was still in Buenos Aires. Now, we are all here and complete as a team. We are planning on having our first official meeting on the 5th of October. Church Building. It’s with great excitement that we inform you that we have found a place to rent to start the ministry. The place was a store and it has been divided into small apartments. So what we are renting is a one-room apartment with bathroom and kitchen, and a big open room also with kitchen, bathroom, and office. The place also has a nice patio where we can play games with the kids and have diferent activities. This gives us a nice open area as a meeting place, and the other office and rooms we can use as classrooms. Exciting times We are excited to see how God has been at work with our housing and church situation. God has been leading us in many ways. Not only with the housing but also with the people of Santa Rosa. We trust that you also are excited about the new church here in Santa Rosa. We will be sending out a team update with more information about the church location and more details. Thank you We are very thankful for your prayers, support and help with the purchase of the car. We hope that you will never forget that we really appreciate everything you have done for us and that you are part of the ministry here in Santa Rosa. Thank you for your prayers and support. Jason, Ita, Jonathan, and Nicolas Strout |
