It was a chilly misty morning as our ship, the Mormacsea, approached the port of Buenos Aires. We had been traveling on her for five weeks and undoubtedly were anxious to arrive. Without a doubt there were questions on our minds as the tall buildings of this great metropolis gradually came into view through an overcast sky or perhaps, we were so innocent we didn't know what questions to ask. This really was the beginning of a great adventure and we had absolutely no idea what was before us. However, God knew. He knew all along why He was sending us to this new land, this new language, this new culture and yes, this new to us Salvation Army. As we write this we can look back and are grateful that God had a long-term plan for us. It is a good thing that we didn't know then what God knew. We would probably have shrunk from what He had in mind. But because He knew, He gradually prepared us step by step and didn't require from us anything until He had prepared us for it.
