Happy Birthday Jack

9 years ago my baby boy was born. John and I are blessed beyond words to have Jack...what a fun and amazing boy to raise. Crazy to think that nine years later I would be waking up in a hostel in Argentina, no shower in days, with a team of college students on this incredible journey to say Felix cumpleanos to Jack!!! Thank you Lord for Jack and this opportunity...truly amazing! The woman from the hostel just came by our room to gush over Jack and rub his head and pinch his ear and sing Felix cumpleanos...what a great start to his birthday.
John and Adam just headed out to teach the team in the famous and amazing Recoleta cemetery...pretty dreamy to get to lecture in these crazy locations. I believe they will be sitting by Evita's gravesite.
Later today we will be with Life Argentina working in the slums with the children again. It's heartbreaking to see the conditions but amazing to see the joy in the childrens faces. We pray for God's love and light to shine through us and also that our hearts would be changed and broken for those around us.
