Uncle Matt (my brother) is serving a mission for our Church in Buenos Aires, Argentina. For the past 60 weeks, every prayer offered by Calvin has included requests for help for "Uncle Matt in Argentina." Recently, Clark has learned to add this tag in as well. They look forward to getting emails on Mondays and love to see the pictures and hear the stories. I've kept a blog for him (found here) where we can go back and peruse as well.
My boys were particularly excited to hear Uncle Matt had a birthday this past week. They made their own signs for him (Calvin was even brave enough to write in marker! And Clark only colored his face once!) to take a picture and send him. There were too many good shots to send just one, so we sent a few. These were sent along with an email asking a few questions. The were so excited to hear that he had in fact eaten birthday cupcakes. And, they secured a promise from him that he'd visit and make his favorite Argentine food--asada. I'm posting this here to hold him to the promise because I'm very excited about it, too!
