I have already been back from Omaha almost a week. It was a fun week of special times and memories with family and dear friends. Word Made Flesh officially welcomed me to share life and ministry in Argentina for three years! The weekend included a meaningful commissioning service for several of us joining the WMF family. It was extra special to have my parents, sister, and Christian & Sonya Gray attend the service.
I have now posted my first prayer letters on the Word Made Flesh web site. You can check them out at: http://wordmadeflesh.com/support/pray-prayerletters.php?staff=124. If you want to be added to my snail mailing list, just let me know.
Here are some prayer requests I included in my December prayer letter:
· First and foremost, please pray that in all things I remain rooted in abiding relationship and intimacy with Jesus!
· Please pray for my remaining financial support needs and God’s best timing for my departure to Buenos Aires.
· Please pray for all the preparations before I leave. I have books to read, paperwork to complete, logistics to handle, and stuff to pack, while soaking in sweet times with family and friends before I leave.
· Please pray for me as I settle into life and ministry in Argentina. I will be living with an Argentine roommate or host family during my first few months there. I will then look for a place of my own in the La Boca neighborhood where WMF staff, Walter and Adriana Forcatto, already live.
· Please pray that I will adjust and learn Argentine culture and Spanish quickly.
· Please pray for leadership wisdom and guidance, as I help direct and facilitate the WMF community in Argentina through a process of spiritual formation and covenant to one another.
· Please pray for our new community in Argentina. Jeremiah and Jennifer Dean, along with children Jordan and Selah will arrive around the same time as me. We will join the Forcatto family who has already been there three years.
· Please pray for opportunities for relationships with the youth on the streets and people in the neighborhoods. Pray that I may radiate and represent Jesus in the way I love and live. Pray that I will evangelize and proclaim His Kingdom as hope to those in desperate need of Him.

I guess with this commissioning it makes it all final. You will be going to continue with what the Lord has called you to. Your parents must be proud of you. I know I am. When you all were little children sharing McD's in your strollers only the Lord knew the future.
Every child of God is called to serve and you have had an open ear and heart. Go in peace and safety. I will miss ya!!! Love Linda
