A flight from the provincial airport at Iguazu to Buenos Aires filled much of this morning. Apart from some unusual shops in the airport the main event of note was the sighting of a black moth - almost 7 inches across and potentially the type that sprays acid on you before laying it's eggs in the wound (seriously) - this coupled with one member of the party's moth phobia made for an eventful few moments in the queue to depart... That and a hornet nearly two inches long!
Arriving in Buenos Aires we were met by officers from the Training College, which will be our base for the week, and from THQ.
We were very warmly welcomed by the six cadets of the Heralds of Grace and Messengers of light sessions, who had prepared lunch for us of chicken stuffed with cheese and tongue.
The afternoon was spent in the Cadets meeting room considering evangelism, discipleship, training, and officer development. The concepts of Messy Church, Godly Play, sports ministry and whole life discipleship - among many others - featured as we shared with the Cadets and staff.
Our evening enabled the group to experience the local culture of Buenos Aires.
Tomorrow we will be involved in community visits to a children's programme and elderly care programme.
Our minds and hearts are still in Paraguay but I am sure when we see the ministry of the Salvation Army in Argentina we will again be moved by the matching of need and compassion by local Salvationists.
