Preparing for our Trip to Santiago

Dear everybody,

Saturday we are planning on leaving early and heading to Santiago. From our town of Lican Ray, it's a 8 to 9 hour drive so we like to be ready before we leave.

Bethany has been working with the kids and getting caught up on school. They have been hard at work and accomplishing much after their month long break.

Danny and I went to town to take our van in for a "Revision Tecnica". Every year, vehicles in Chile need to pass a test. Many things are checked as the vehicle passes through. We knew the shocks on the van would not pass the test so we got those changed before we took the van in.



We are really looking forward to our trip up north. Our trip north has 2 purposes. Danny and MAtthias need to renew their US passports at the American embassy. The trip will give Bethany the chance to see some Chilean countryside as we travel and to meet the Chile Field GMSA missionaries. The Christmas missionary potluck is the second purpose and something our family enjoyed last year and we are sure to enjoy it this year also!

Just a few pictures of Morgan with the new little chick and with her Dad.

Thank you for your prayers for us as we travel up on Saturday and return to camp on Tuesday,

Liz

Morgan looks pretty happy holding that little chick. With those nice warm sunny pictures and the chick it seems more like you're traveling to Santiago for Easter rather than Christmas! We'll be praying for travelling mercies and for a wonderful extended weekend with the other families.

Blessings,
Darlene Heckman

My favorite part in the picture with the van getting checked was the volcano!

Have a good trip.
