Dear Friends and Family,
My greetings to each of you! Here's a catch-up on my activities these past few months. Must be my age or my busy schedule but a month passes as if it were a week! Time just melts together......
Ninety-two and Counting. This has been a big year in my Mother's life. At 92 years old + 2 days she retired as a cashier at WalMart. Lots of parties and celebration in her honor. She is adjusting to having more time for activities. Visiting friends and family.

Let's Start Talking 2013. I'm about to wrap up this years activities at this writing. We've had 3 groups come to help this year. In May-June, Judy Stewart and son, Caleb from Kansas came for 3 weeks. In July, the Arnold sisters, Mary Beth and Caroline returned for a third time. Then the last of August, my dear friends and long-time LST workers,Mary Stephens and Vicki Grubbs, came to help me out for 7 weeks. Evaristo and Hermelinda, who live with me in the campo went to Paraguay to visit family. I had to stay home to take care of the chickens, etc., etc.! They came to keep LST going...... It's been a busy year. A good year! My thanks to each of you who have come to help share the Word of God through English!
Larry and Kathy Musick. It's not too often I get family visits in Cordoba. Larry and Kathy (Mitchell) Musick were in Buenos Aires visiting their daughter, Ashley. Ashley has worked with the Caballito church this past year. I was blessed that they could squeeze in a short visit to the campo. Next time, I hope to show them off in Cordoba city to the church! :)
Happenings on the Mountain. Life on the mountain can get a little crazy. As some of you know, we've just come through a huge fire not far from my house. I'm SO grateful for all the prayers and concern for my safety. Thanks to God's grace and power we were spared on my side of the main highway. Others, towards the higher mountains, lost homes and alot of livestock. No lives were lost! God in His power caused the winds to cease after two very windy, hot days. Fires were brought under control. Then a light rain fell followed by 8 hours of snow. BUT if that wasn't enough, that same week around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday we had a 4.7 earthquake. The epicenter was just over the hill from me! As my dear friend, Marilyn McBroom McKnight said, "It was a Shake 'n Bake week!" All is calm again. Now we wait for the Spring rains to arrive....

APRIL 2013
Dear Friends and Family,
I believe the last time I posted on my blog it was before traveling to the States in November, 2012. Now it's April, 2013 and I'm back in the States. My mother, Grace, did not have a very good month in March. Thus, I decided to come back two weeks early. At this writing, Mother is thankfully doing much better. About to celebrate her 92nd birthday. And....working again 20 hours/week at WalMart!
Between my "posts" October-April, lots of activity and friends have passed through my life. I will add a few pictures at the end of my letter. They represent special days spent with family and friends. Enjoy!
I'm so happy to share that the church in Alberdi continues to grow. Hugo and Judit are wonderful servants as they work with the church. New people are coming through different outreaches. Outreaches that range from LST students/Bible classes to a new opportunity for Hugo to publish articles in a local newspaper. Once again, I encourage you to look at Hugo's blog that he publishes regularly: www.family-fuente.blogspot.com You can choose to read it in English. It's always informative and visual.
I plan to return to Argentina in June. There is a two-person LST team arriving June 1 from Garden City, KA. I hope to arrive back for part of their stay. I will then continue with the LST readers until another two-person team arrives in July. I continue to pray and look for a retired married couple or perhaps two retired women to come to Cordoba as interns. Working with the LST students. Please keep this need in your prayers! There will be more to share about the LST ministry in my next report.
Please know how much I appreciate your continued prayers and support for the sharing of God's Good News in Cordoba. Thank you!
Love and blessings, Jacquie
