El Kiwi en Sudamérica

no me gusta a decir 'Adios'...

You won't belive this, but tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary in Chile- And it feels as if i'm leaving home once again (but without the guaranty of returning for a substancial time) and everyone is like "so are you coming back? when?" I could see it happen somehow, but it's easy to say that in the emotional state that is leaving heaps of mates somewhere, and change is one of the hardest things on the planet I believe... and I guess we'll see how my time goes in Peru, and what happens in the next few months. But, for the record, I will probably arrive back home around the middle of July or something- And definetly back before the world cup.

Viña del mar was mint last weekend. Just chilling etc all day.
Things have been quite full on lately, mainly just trying to fit good ops to say goodbye to people. Work finishes up tommorow and there's a Christmasy service with church, saturday I've got touch rugby finals, and Sunday the usual with Church.

On the name front the current leader is Diego, there's abit of a story about it actually (and I liked it before too):
I was in this 'Discoteque'and this girl asked me my name, and I told her 'nathan' and she didn't get it (it was quite load in there) so I said 'n-a-t-h-a-n' but 'natan'is easier to say. But she still didn't get it, so I told her 'Diego' instead, which got her laughing, and then she told her friend beside her and then I told her my my name- and she got it first time... But the weird looks I got from that was classic. And some mates have told me I have a face that could pass as a Diego. BUT there are still 8 days to choose before I get to Peru...

And, por fin, here's some photos:
Me with Pablo and James at Ashlee's goodbye thing (more red eye action)
Sebastien, Ashlee, and Humberto
The only photos I took of the wedding were of the building (see the previous blog for an explianation)
Last YG of the year, some of the crew (a few had left by that stage, and some didn't make it-busy times with exams and such)
On San Cristobal for a multi denominational prayer meeting (it was the bomb)
Classic photo of Borquez (Francisco) and Becka
Borquez, (I forgot this ones name), Xaviera and Pablo at a BBQ at Silvia's place

Alright, so probably the next time i'll write will be on the road or in Arequipa!!!

Chao Chao,

Nathan
