Ray Masters - Missionary to Argentina

ARGENTINA

Our nice fall is beginning to change into our semi-ugly winter even though officially winter is two months away.

The last three months have been busy with lots of trials and unusal blessings.

January was blessd doubly. Our attendance stayed up after much visitation by our intern Juan Pediguero . The last Sunday was blessed by the organition of the Mission in Unguillo as a church. Victor and Andrea Cervantes have been living on the field now for six years and even with the problem of having to move the whole kit and cabodle ever two years they have been able to get together twenty-four baptized. For the organization they had an attendance of 65. Many of these are awaiting baptism. They have to move in five months and with the government putting new taxes on grains being exported everything has gone sky high with another hyper-inflation.

February is Family Camp month. We had been going to the same camp since 1987. This year both the rent and the diesel fuel for the busses we rent went up so we had to look for a new location. After looking at several camps a location was found but had to be a week later than originally planned. Many of the families had taken vacations that could not be change so we were the lowest ever. Results did not depend on numbers but the Lord. There were several saved and four baptized.

March is anniversary month. This year we had a meeting the week after Easter with Victor Cervantes preaching. Each night the attendance grew and on Sunday night the attendance was the highest we have had for months. There were 8 or 9 saved. One young married father saved during the meeting came back the next week with his wife who also was saved. They are awaiting baptism.

The last of January I fell and knocked my right shoulder out of place. It is taking time to get well. Then last Friday I fell again and repeated the first fall plus bending my glasses and cutting my face up real good. This was because of a medicine I had been given that left me as a drunk. Please pray for these and the pinched nerve that has not been found that I can get some relief. Then I just might get caught up with some of the work I am behind in.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT
