We’re in Argentina!!!
Wanted to let you all know we made to Argentina just fine, the flight went great. We’re tired and exhausted, but feeling good overall. Half our luggage did not make it though. Our layover was in Panama so 12 of our boxes did not make it out of there. They are supposed to arrive tonight, [...]
Visa Update
So we went to the consulate this morning to give them the “Letter of Invitation” from Argentina. It was only allowed to be opened by the Consulate. She told us before that there was a possibilty that we would need a ‘proof of relationship’ from our organization and have it notarized. We got that done [...]
We’ll be there soon
Today has been crazy…..as are most days, but I still don’t now how it will all end. We were up this morning and over to my brother and sister-in-laws house to wait for the letter from the Argentine GBC inviting us to AR. I left to take two of the boys to three doctor appointments. [...]
The Visa Process
Our Visa process hasn’t been that bad of an ordeal, we’ve pretty much been held up by just one document. I’ve heard of other people that have had crazy ordeals trying to get visas, although we don’t have ours yet, it hasn’t been that much of an ordeal. Part of the problem is the different [...]
Our Time in the U.S.
I haven’t written since language school was done way back in Costa Rica. Alot has happened since then. The main theme through our whole time back in the U.S. has been ‘Getting our Visa’. The visa stuff has all been a bit tricky, tedious, and tenuous. Amidst getting all of our Visa paperwork together we [...]
Language Learning is Completed
Well, not exactly, but we have learned a lot this year. Please don’t be surprised that we aren’t fluent, it really does take a few years to really understand and use all the ends and outs of another language. Personally, this has been a very stretching year. It was more difficult than I expected to [...]
Anxiousness (Part 2)
I can relate to the many unknowns and imminent questions from Tara’s post as well. But, my thoughts and questions are of a slightly different sort…will the economy in the US crash, or at least will it it affect our financial supporters to the extent where giving drops off substantially? Will we then have to [...]
Anxiousness
It has begun…….I don’t like it, but it happens when you move from one country to another. The anxiousness of the unknown is almost unbearable at times…….these are only a few of the questions that run through my head……will all our stuff fit in our boxes for the flight back to the states, will we [...]
A Place to Stay
We’ve been wondering for awhile now where we were going to live when we went back to the Sates for 2 months before Argentina. A couple in our church is selling a house of theirs and have offered to hold off on selling it and allow us to stay there. It will be partially furnished [...]
I’m Not Just Here to Learn Another Language
Since becoming a parent, I have learned how impatient I am and with that impatience comes a lack of self-control. God has been teaching me extra doses of His Grace in these two areas. They go hand in hand with parenting and also language learning. These two things take up all of my day, so [...]
