More Travel

I'll get to writing about the training we had in Salta soon. First, here are some more travel pics:

Lumbreras: The last bus stop on our way to Apolinario Saravia.

Things to do in Lumbreras while waiting for the bus: watch pigs cross the road.


Beautiful view of the countryside -- click on the photo to see more butterflies.

What to do when arriving at your destination? Hang out...here are Silvia and Marcelo doing just that. They are from the Iglesia Jesucristo Rey (IJR) in Cordoba. Marcelo volunteers as a Resource Facilitator with LifeWind -- as an accountant he's great at micro-enterprise teaching. He's also heading the IJR missions team in their work in Salta.

...and eat! Here are Gimena, Lita, and Chichi at supper. Gimena is Pastor Gabriel's daughter -- he's the missionary pastor in Apolinario Saravia. She's given up her room multiple times to visitors, including twice to me! Lita and Chichi are both trainers from the IJR in Cordoba. The next day was the first time they facilitated lessons, and they did a great job!

Here's Lucretia with her five-year-old son Josias. Lucretia's husband is Pastor Gabriel (whose arm you see), and they live at this house in Apolinario Saravia.


Fun fact: another beverage option in Argentina is a glass with 4/5 Coke and 1/5 beer. This one is actually really good if you only sort-of-maybe-a-little like beer, and it cuts down the sweetness of the Coke. It's also nice because there's no chance of getting tipsy!
