The end of a season

Dear everybody,

When we arrived in Chile at the end of November 2007, we spent a few months getting our feet on the ground in the capital city of Santiago. In March 2008 we moved to the town of Villarrica, 8 hours south of the capital and a half hour from the Lican Ray camp, our main ministry.

The Pastor of our church in Villarrica helped us find suitable housing for our family and we ended up renting for a year.


Today, Dan is handing in the keys of the house to the landlords and we are saying goodbye to Villarrica and hello to Lican. Since mid-October we have been living at the camp but with our belongings still at the house in Villarrica. It is a good feeling to be turning that page of our ministry here in Chile.
We are "full-time" now at the camp, living on the grounds and ministering to the different groups coming to use the camp.

As fall approaches, we are endeavoring to finish the construction on the new administrator's house. In the next blog post, I want to give you a tour of "my" new house. We are so thankful for the Lord's provision for our needs and for even some of our wants.

Thank you so much for your prayers for us as we serve Him here.

We're still alive and well

Dear everybody,

I look at our blog and at the last time I actually posted something and I am embarrassed that it was so long ago . This past summer has been a whirlwind of activity for our family. You see, the summer months, December through February are our busiest months as camp director. Before that we were concentrating our efforts on the new administrator's house being built and the process of moving in. Thank you so much for your prayers because I type I am sitting in the new house!

In the next few posts I would love to tell you all about what we've been up to so I will endeavor to do just that, with pictures too. Next week we head up to Santiago once again where we will be attending the wedding of one of GMSA's MKs. We will be spending time with David and Kristi Flink (Kristi is Dan's sister), brand new missionaries on the field. David does a really nice job writting on his blog (www.chilejournal2@blogspot.com) and I hope to spend some time with him, learning the ropes to improve our ministry bog.

So 'till next time. We are thankful for all your prayers for us.
