two years ago...

march 5th marked the day two years ago that we moved here to buenos aires. it's been amazing to see God's provision in every area of my life- my home, my children, our church, our ministry here and the growing relationships with the youth.

it's been a great ride.

and today was another reminder that life in a latin american country is never dull...

we arrived in argentina with our resident visas in hand and have been trying ever since to obtain our ID cards. yup two years for an ID. each time we think we're close, that there couldn't possibly be another setback, a "kind" offcial informs us that we need a new translation of this document or a copy of that particular page of our passport or a special seal on this piece of paper, "didn't i mention that before?" "uh, no."

today's request was for a letter from the US embassy affirming that the name on my birth certificate and the married, hyphanated name on my passport do in fact both indicate that i am me. to see if this letter does the trick, stay tuned...

and besides, i now have this very official piece of paper to avoid any confussion in the event that there are any other adriana dakimowiczes out there applying for argentine ID's.
