This morning we flew to Salta in north west Argentina. We will be based for the next two weeks. Hugo the archdeacon, and Hans the diocesan administrator, met us at the airport and drove us to the Diocesan office where we're staying the night. They gave us an overview of the work of the church here, and how La Caldera retreat centre fits into the big picture.
We also met Jemma, a Latin Link missionary volunteer here for 5 months. She is from Donagadee and even knows some of the team! We had dinner with her and as it was Graham's birthday we sang happy birthday to him in English and Spanish - the restaurant gave him a free desert with a candle that he dutifully blew out. You can see the photo on the left.
Tomorrow we go a little more remote and to our final destination - La Caldera. Everyone is in very good spirits, the team atmosphere is really excellent and raring to get stuck into the work.

You guys seem to be having a great time -BBQ's, tourism, coffee shops... salsa dancing!!!! -Where were the leaders?! Who was putting a stop to this flirtatiousness?!!
Hope the travel goes well for La Caldera -continuing to pray for you all.
Not much news from home except that it is really wet, cold and miserable! Also I've only been off 2 days and I'm already looking for reasons to go to work -the kids are driving me bonkers!
Blessings,
Brandy
