Volunteering and traveling in Argentina to proclaim God's great love, and hopefully not getting sick along the way.

Anything that begins with ice cream will be great

You know it. Because who's going to say "no" to ice cream? Boys and men out there, if you're struggling with an idea for a first date, just stick to good ole helado.

Any way, this was our plan for our first day back with the boys at the institute. I was nervous, because this would also be a first for us to visit without Javi. Javi is the one with the longest standing relationship not only with the boys, but with the directors of the institute as well. Thankfully, JD and Jonas came with us, so it wasn't just us girls trying to control the three. And yes, you should be afraid of the number three at this institute, as each boy can be a handful.

But praise be to God! We had a great time with them, as we had gone to a nearby shopping area that had the next best thing to Grido--Freddo. The boys were able to have an M&M's chocolate ice cream cone, and afterward, enjoy a beautiful view of the city.

Funny times included them pretending to run away, but always coming back. I think they've realized that we won't chase after them any more, because we know they need to have their space, especially after being locked up in a building for most of the day. Good times included talking with Fabrizio again. He was surprised that I remembered a few things about his life from the last time we had talked. I mentioned that I was praying for his dad, Diego, and checking up on school stuff for him. Bad times... can't say that there were any. Esta vez ;)

It was also hilarious to see them all with new haircuts. In fact, I didn't even recognize Fabri without his hair covering his face. ha. And Rodrigo sported the faux hawk which served him well. His mouth is still pretty dirty, but it was adorable when he asked how my knee was doing. That caught me by surprise, and I just kept thinking about the blessings from God for building these relationships! Chau.
