Not Pepe Le Pew...Futaleufu :)



  So, to start off I should mention that things have been even more busy now ever since I got a new job. At the end of last month I was hired for a company that teaches English online to people who speak Spanish. It's an ideal job since I can do it from anywhere and my classes are in the evenings so my days are free for service and I don't miss any meetings...but even so I've been adjusting to the new much fuller schedule.
This last month we got to spend some quality time getting to know the friends in Coyhaique better. A special treat was celebrating Steph and Juan's one year anniversary...how time flies! After that we got to go up to where there's the most need in this circuit, a town called Futaleufu. If I remember right there are only 7 publishers there and the territory is vast. So we enjoyed getting to meet the friends and go in the ministry. The scenery in the area is amazing...so beautiful it doesn't seem real! And since it's so close to Argentina I got to cross the border to get my visa extended...yay!
Now I am in a small town called La Junta, about 5 hours north of Coyhaique. There are only 8 publishers here, one of which is a sister who lives an hour away. She comes every Sunday to the meeting and a group of us go to her town every Thursday to go out in service and then have a condensed version of the big meeting that they have here on Wednesday nights. The sister I'm living with is a sweetheart. She came in the truth on her own and serves here as a pioneer...so hospitable! She reminds me of Andrea from Mexico that I got to live with in the past, so I felt really comfortable with her right away.
So those are just a few of the highlights from down here. Hope you're all taking care of yourselves!
