Back to the Chile

Things have been busy here! I arrived to Donihue just in time for a baby shower of one of the sisters in the congregation. It was Hawaiian themed and so much fun with lots of games. The next day was a going away party for a couple who are leaving for their 1st assignment in the circuit work. They are assigned to the Arica area in the far north of Chile, right next to Peru.
The following weekend a group of about 40 from the Chilean coast by Vina del mar came to help work some of Donihue's rural territory. Their territory is extremely small and they work it very often so they especially enjoyed the change of scenery and were enthusiastic.
Last Wednesday Vanessa and I flew down to Coyhaique where Stephanie and Juan are living. Their congregation has 73 publishers and is very warm and welcoming. The views here are amazing! Reminds me of Yosemite. Because of that there are a lot of tourists who pass through, including English-speaking tourists, and several have even decided to move here. Today we went in service with an Australian family that is visiting and focused on trying to talk to those who speak English. We had some good conversations in the plaza down town and even found a couple of English speaking houses in the territory.Yesterday Steph spoke to a man from Massachusetts who had heard of witnesses but never talked to us. He likes to read so he took the truth tract and a mag.
So I'm happy to say that things have been going good. That's all for now :)
