Every year we have the summer camp in the same place called the Hotel Casa Grande. There is a girl there named Antonela, the daughter of the couple who owns the snack bar in the hotel. Antonela and I had a strong connection last year at my first summer camp. Despite my limited Spanish speaking skills, I was able to share the gospel with her right there in the entry-way of the hotel one afternoon. So this year, needless to say, I was excited about being reunited with my 14 year old friend Anto! The second I got to the hotel, day 2 of being back in Argentina, I went to visit my buddy Anto. Her parents said that she wasn't there and that she'd be back the next day.
I saw her the following day and it was a fun reunion, she was just as excited to see me. Over the next week we got to spend time talking and hanging out. One afternoon the Lord gave me the opportunity to talk deeper with my friend. I explained the gospel once again and we had the chance to talk about a personal relationship with God instead of just attending her Catholic church's mass once a month. The idea interested her and she asked questions about the religion she was following and about the relationship I was offering. We had a great conversation, she still wasn't ready to accept the gospel. However, the Lord provided a good time for me to step out and share my faith with Anto. I am going to continue praying for her and await next year back at the Hotel Casa Grande to reconnect with my friend!
