Merry Jesusmas :)

Dear friends,

I write this with joy in my heart for some things God has done this last couple of weeks:

Finally I could place my mom in a nursing home paid by the medicare system here in Argentina.  This has been a major breakthrough for us.  I have no need to pay almost 2/3 of my income to have her in a private home where she was not well taken care of.  The she has doctors, psychiatrist, and many other specialists that see her often.  Of course she has to adapt there.  She told me that people already stole things from her and other things.  So I ask you please pray for her as she adapts there.  I have to get her to spend Christmas with us, please that we can have a good Christmas eve together.

I finished my Counseling career.  Now I'm a professional counselor.  I finished with great notes praise the Lord.  It has been not only my achievement but also of all my family and of course God helped me so much.  Without the wife I have, I would not have been able to do it.  I plan to do one more year to get a certificate on personal development.

Martín is already 10 years old and he is a big boy.  He likes soccer so much and get on my nerves since I don't care about it.  He used to beat me on the soccer Play Station game, now I beat him :)

Natasha is 8 years old and she passes to 3rd grade without problems this year.  If you recall, she had troubles last year, she did well this year.  She is sweet and lovable and very practical.

Lara is the princess of the family, she turned 5 last week and is very smart.  She is crazy about ice cream (who isn't) and she is very good at noticing the needs around her.

Claudia turned #$% the 13th of December but she looks very good.  I have enjoyed lately to be with her in the Couple's growth group.  I'm doing the "Dare to love" book and is not easy :)

I'm doing well, even though I worry about life and future.  I'm learning to have faith in God and not in my own abilities or resources.  You are in a huge sense an answer to many of my prayers.  Thanks for being there and praying and giving to the ministry here.

Merry Jesusmas and Happy New Year!

A Christmas present for you

I really would like to give you this as a present for Christmas time.  Please watch this short film on HOPE only 20 minutes long.  You will enjoy it I'm sure and you will find ways to use it in your ministry and family.

The Butterfly Circus

We all are Butterflies if we are in God's hands, it is just a matter of believing the truth about ourselves in Christ.  Do not spend Christmas without watching this, maybe you want even to show it in the family reunion, and reflect on who we are in Christ.

God bless you all
