A taste of California

This month I was able to have a little taste of California to keep me going down here :) 1st I was able to go visit Janel and Joel in Futrono which was so nice and encouraging. Even got to help one day tearing down a house on the site where they're scheduled to have a KH built around April.

After that I headed to Santiago to pick up Jenny. We went to Vina 1st and visited the English congregation which is always a boost...they have a congregation of 30 something publishers and 21 pioneers, so there's a very good service-spirit. While there a couple of fleshly sisters from Florida invited me to come live with them for a little bit which I feel like is a blessing from Jehovah.

Then we got to go to the "Safeguard your Heart" district convention in Santiago with the congregation from Donihue and returned there afterward to show Jenny a taste of a smaller pueblo. One of the days we went to see Bethel...had quite the adventure on the way. Got into a little car accident and then once we arrived in Santiago all the local taxis were taking the day off for Christmas so we ended up just catching the last Bethel tour of the day.
Now Jenny's up visiting friends in Peru and I've returned to sunny Vina on the coast. That's the latest from down here :)
