Southern Bound

As I gathered photos for this post I realized that I've been doing a whole lot of eating lately...but I have to say it has been so delicious :) My last few weeks in Vina were great. The shift to focusing more on foreigners  is bringing great results and has added a lot of variety to the ministry. They also officially started  asking for volunteers to come help on the construction of the near-by assembly hall in Belloto...am hoping to get to help on it before I head back to the states.

A special highlight is that one of the progressive studies in the cong has decided to stop celebrating the holidays, which has been hard especially for her mom. So she is trying to start a new family tradition...she organized a delicious anniversary dinner for her parents w/gifts and everything...they loved it! And we had the joy of getting to go too...very fun! After that her mom even came w/her to one of the mtgs.

A couple of weeks ago I headed down to Coyhaique, where Steph and Juan live. I had forgotten just how beautiful it is here both in surroundings and in the people. Everyone has been so warm and welcoming. As we speak Steph and Juan are at the special assembly in Buenos Aires....such a privilege! And I got a special treat last week when two sisters from northern CA arrived. They're really sweet and have been a lot of fun to be around :)

So that's the latest from down here. Hope you're all doing well!
