751 DAYS OF THIS LETTER

"2020 begins, today is January 2 and I am sitting in the kitchen of an apartment in Tapalqué, drinking mate alone. Lord I want to be sensitive to your voice, I want to take every step according to your will. We are 19 days away from traveling to Spain, and I have many fears. I know that you promised to be with me always, but I know that this is a very big step in my life, in Gaby's life. I feel and understand that your promises are fulfilled, but there are many mixed feelings, and at this very moment the only one who can understand me, is You Jesus. Give me back the joy of your salvation. The transition process is being hard, but I know you are with me.

"But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." My times are in Your hand;" (Psalms 31:14-15)

"Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord." (Psalms 31:24)

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye." (Psalms 32:8)

"For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." (Psalms 33:9)

"The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing." (Psalms 34:10)

My trust must continually be placed in God. I must trust Him every day, at every moment. You're everything to me. Thank you God because you remind me that you are always there. You are always by my side: guarding me, taking care of my life. Lord help me to be a good wife, a virtuous woman, a helpmeet for my husband. I know that he is worried about many things, but Lord I ask you, that he can trust and rest in you. Thank you for your love, your forgiveness, your compassions that are new every morning. I love you God!"

This was one of my writings before leaving Argentina and moving to Spain. I had fears, worries and uncertainties for everything that lay ahead. Today we celebrate two years of having arrived in Spain, Madrid, more specifically in San Agustin de Guadalix, which has become our home.

These days, in one of our conversations we remembered everything that we lived through during these twenty-four months. No one knew that the year 2020 was going to mark a before and after in History; in March with the pandemic, confinement arrived. All our plans had been ruined, but that is where God began to work, and we saw His faithfulness in every detail.

We just want to thank God. Our heart are filled with gratitude to God for everything we are experiencing. We love the church we are pastoring, we love the people, and all the promises that God has for each one of them. We know this is just the beginning.

So, if you got this far with the reading, I want to tell you: Don't get discouraged, keep believing God. He keeps His promises. And today we are living part of them, and we continue clinging to hope, trusting that his will is good, pleasing and perfect.

A girl who in her adolescence said to God "Here I am, send me", bids you farewell.

Lots of love,
