Well, I have reached a landmark moment in my time here in Argentina. I have now been living here for 12 months as of today. That is pretty amazing really. This day, 365 days ago, I landed in Buenos Aires from Chile and although there have been a number of excursions that have covered every surrounding country, I have been living here since then. Very amazing. Now, during that time there have been some very significant moments in my life. From my arrival where I lived above the bus run for apprentice racing drivers, and my days of total incomprehension of the language and culture with dozens of conversations maintained soley by the nodding of my head, to comunal living with a bunch of guys in an unfinished building in a place called YWAM Corrientes. Not much has change in some respects, but then in many others it has. My conversations in Spanish have improved dramatically and I now can actually communicate with people rather than talk at them using grunts and gestures. These days I know where to go to buy the essentials, and what to do to get from one place to another. I know what is cheap without having to convert it back to Aussie dollars, and can tell the value of a coin by the pattern on the back of it. Yep, I would say that things are getting a lot more comfortable for me now. Certainly not physically, with my super-thin mattress and old sleeping bag as a bed, but certainly with the culture I am in. During my one year, I have visited many parts of Argentina, including Puerto Iguazu, Mar del Plata, Jujuy, Cafayate, Mendoza, Bariloche, Posadas, and of course Buenos Aires and Corrientes. Every country around Argentina has not escaped my attention either, with a visit to Brazil and Chile before arriving here, then a tour around Uruguay, missions work in the hills of Bolivia, a return trip to Chile looking for adventure, and another missions trip to Paraguay where I also was able to buy a computer. From a tourist to a missionary, from Patagonia to the hills of Bolivia, from the East to the West coast of this part of South America, from luxury to livability, from little to much, from overfed to underfed and back again, I have been privileged to experience, see, and live many wonderful things during my time here. And I look forward to my next year here too. What I will be doing at the end of the next year I have no idea. Only time will tell that story. Rob.
