Corinne Arrives!

So Corinne arrived here safe and sound and we have been having lots of fun and keeping busy.
This last week was a special week of activity...the Donihue cong was the host to the District and Circuit overseers (an interesting side point: the DO's wife is the sister of Chichi, a special pioneer who serves w/her husband down in Cochrane w/Juanito Ponce). We were happy to have Vanessa get back from visiting Cochrane. And then this weekend was Donihue's 2-day circuit assembly. Vanessa got interviewed for the part about singleness and did a really good job.
Yesterday Corinne and I left for Vina del Mar. We are staying here for the week w/a really nice couple named Daniela and Miguel...they serve in the english cong. Yesterday evening we did some informal witnessing along Vina's main beach and were able to find a handful of foreign english-speakers. Talked to one woman from Poland who was especially nice and was in Vina just for the day.
Ok, that's a little update for now :)

Spring Service...

Hi!
Things continue going really good here. The weather has been so ideal...lots of sunshine with a cool breeze. We keep having good experiences in service too.
Here are some pics that Andrea took from the last couple of weeks. They include Veronica's 1st day in service...I believe she's the 1st official unbaptized publisher to come out of the territory of Puertezuelo.
Have I said how nice it has been to stay here w/Andrea? She's so precious! We end up laughing a lot. The other day she got this text msg from a company that likes to send her "Did you know?" factoids. When she gets these msgs a lot of times she'll translate them to me in english. So she's reading it to me in all seriousness "Did you know that the 1st person executed by electric wheel chair was..." and I had to say "I think you mean electric chair", we both started laughing so hard :)
Hope you're all taking care of yourselves!
