Buenos Aires, Argentina Day 1

Buenos Aires has been bueno. First we went to this awesome place called Tierra Santa, recommended by my dear cousin Becky Johnson who got to spend a whole semester in Buenos Aires in college (Lucky!) Some of the locals here haven't even been to Tierra Santa. When we asked for information about it they all kind of looked at us like, "really? You want to go there?" Probably because Tierra Santa is a...get ready...a religious theme park!!! Ha ha. And who ever said being a Christian couldn't be fun?! Right when we arrived we knew this place was going to be sweet. Every one is dressed up in time period clothing (much like North Heights' Easter production if you're an NHLC goer who knows what I mean.) You basically walk around the massive park and take a look at different scenes from the Bible. You are allowed to take pictures of them, and with them, and so of course we did. We will definitely have to post some of those eventually. We also saw four shows: The Creation, The Nativity, The Last Supper, and yes, the Resurrection. They shows are anamatronic and only in Spanish, so good thing we know our Bible stories. The Resurrection was definitely the best. There are no words to describe it, so I'll have to see if I can post the video so you can see it for yourselves. Even though it was pretty cheesy, I found myself getting a little emotional just thinking about how much that means for our lives that Christ died for us to take the punishment for our sin so that we can receive His gift of forgiveness and go to heaven. And He really did conquer death and rise from the dead. I mean, it is pretty cool. Then Tim starting singing along with Hallelujah from Handel's Messiah. Also, it started pouring while we were there and I'm pretty sure we were the only people still running around trying to follow the Bible story and see all the scenes. We are hard core Jesus followers.
