a little starter

Oh hey guys. So yeah, I'm going to Argentina in 19 days. Crazy. Soooo I thought I would put up a little starter info thinger. A little, how do you say, somethin somethin on the what's, where's and when's.
     So we are piling 18 of us into two big 'ol vans in Montana at 2am on March 13th and driving up to Clagary! WooWoo! From there, we fly to Texas and then do a little swap aroo and then continue on to Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires - the capital city of Argentina. Several million people. The Paris of South America. We will be working with a YWAM base there doing a bit of this and that. Probably stick around for a couple of weeks and then head straight south to Mar Del Plata. It's about a 4 hour bus ride and it is the holiday weekend destination of the big cities. About .6million people and it is also the surf city of Argentina. Lots of tourists. Lots of beach culture. Lots of needs. After about three weeks of that, we will head waaay south. Like 15 hour bus ride south into Patagonia. to a little fishing port called Puerto Madryn. There we get to help build a new YWAM base and work with churches and kids ministries and a thousand other awesome things. We are bringing a great dance team, so talented musicians and some really good dramas. All of that said, it is only to proclaim the gospel that we do any of that. Breaking down cultural barriers with the arts is a super cool way to start up conversations!
So yeah. May 10 we fly back and get back to things here! So please pray! Still lots planning to get done and South Americans tend to care a lot less about details and schedules, so it can be a bit difficult to get things going on that front.
As well, I am still quite short on the finances part of things. I need a new sleeping bag to take with me and i also have all my bills to pay while I am gone. And I have zero dollars. So if you you'd love to team up with me in that, let me know!! Or just click the link at the bottom of the page and just do it!
I love you all
