Dan Patrick on ESPN used to speak of a player who was tearing up the arena in which he played as being "en fuego" or "on fire." Last night we had an experience that was en fuego as we dined at the El Asador Restaurant. El Asador is a form of cooking where the meat is suspended over an open flame at an angle. Parillas or restaurants that cook over open flames are common in Argentina.
The meat we had last night was a combination of beef, pork, lamb, and goat. It had a wonderful taste and there was more than enough for everyone. The salad bar, if it could be called that, was an amazing combination of foods artistically and aesthetically blended. It was finished off with fruits and cream as well as crepes filled with "dulce de leche" or caramel.
Yesterday we spent most of time with the leaders of two Christian schools in the area. They truly wanted our advice on how to develop support for their schools within their communities and sponsor churches. The public schools are considered to be very bad in all aspects of education and character development. As in other parts of the world, Christian education is extremely important for the future of the country.
The children are all so beautiful. We probably hindered the school work as it seemed we caught the eye of so many kids. Our American connection made us quite a curiosity.
That curiosity continued as we visited Wal-Mart. That's right, there is a Wal-Mart in Neuquen. It is not totally different from the ones we visit...except there we even more people there who speak Spanish!
We begin our conference tonight with over 500 Christian leaders from this area of Argentina. We truly need your prayers...blessings!
