One Year TODAY

One year ago today...
  • We arrived in Chile
  • We were EXTREMELY EXHAUSTED from our overnight, delayed, and practically sleepless night on 4 different planes.
  • The kids got to see what we had seen in 2004 during our survey trip
  • We got to eat at a fellow missionary´s home
  • We began one of the BEST years of our life
  • We finally understood just how different Chilean ¨Spanish¨ is from any other Spanish
  • I got to show Doug and the kids our new house
  • I took a long nap, but still had quite the headache

Now one year later...

  • We are still just as excited to be here
  • Miss our families a little bit more
  • Have LOTS of special friends who are like family here in Chile
  • Love our church and ministries
  • We are looking forward to MANY more years to mark here in Chile, unless Christ returns first!

It truly is hard to believe that we are half way through our first term here in Chile. We are looking forward to the next two years and watching GOD work! Then we´ll take furlough and return to do it all over again! Praise the Lord that over 7 years ago, in 2002 God told us to begin preparing to come here to Chile! It took a while, but what was 5 years in light of eternity?
