It was Columbus Day weekend 30 years ago that I went to spend 21 months working as an apprentice to the missionaries in Rosario, Argentina.

In October 1989, Carolina and I moved to Córdoba, Argentina, to work with the church there. We returned to the States to live in October 2002.

So it’s been 30 years since I first went to live in Argentina. 26 years since we went there as a family; 13 years since we came back.

15 years there, 15 years here over the last 30.

13 years there, 13 here over the last 26.

That’s what October reminds me of.
