One Week From Today

In one week, Jennifer and I will board the plane along with our fellow teammates to make the flight South for Argentina. We are incredibly excited and yet have a week filled with last minute preparations and packing to go. I spoke with the in-country team leader for the group we plan to replace and have ironed out a few details regarding the first few days after our arrival. One thing we will need to get used to is the practice of last minute decision making! A country of procrastinators, I should fit right in!


Above is a picture of our team from briefing in Copper Mountain, Colorado. We are missing two girls who are currently in-country and awaiting our arrival. We'll have to update the team photo once we land.

Our briefing time in Colorado was a great week to spend connecting with each other as a team as well as connecting with the Lord. We walked through some basic cultural norms for our respective countries and studied God's plan in reaching out to his lost. We know that the Lord can do big things in and through our team of humble servants. Pray along with us for boldness in sharing the gospel and a life filled with the Spirit.

Below is the last photo taken of both Red Team and Blue Team Fraziers.

Well, in order to launch our new blog we had to post an entry. So here we go! Jen and I will be bouncing around the country over the next few weeks saying goodbyes and training before we depart for Argentina on September 7th. We have moved out of our condo in Austin and will spend the remaining time living from our suit cases. Not fun, but certainly making us long for a stable home no matter where it is!

Over the next couple of weeks we will continue to raise the remaining support needed to go and tie up the loose ends we have hanging around here in Texas.
