We spent four days in the Chiloe Islands. Every day we walked down to the docks. On the way we noticed many different things.
One of the differences we noticed was the siding on the houses. Most of the houses have wood shingles - all different shapes and sizes.
Reaching the docks, the boys loved looking at all the boats and smelling the fishy sea air. The salmon and shell fish industries keep the islands alive economically.
Below - Here are a bunch of clams ready for shipment to the mainland.
Here is a fish market store. Can you recognize some of the different types of fish or seafood offered on the menu?
The islands have a beauty all their own. Danny was glad that we had rainy and windy weather because that is the typical weather down there.
Our hosts during our time were Rafael and Paola Arroyo. They are Chilean but from the capital city of Santiago. At age fifteen Rafa took a trip down to the Islands and God called him to ministry during that time. He met Paola during his years in Bible Institute and soon after they were married they moved down to the islands to minister. They have served the Lord for 17 years, preaching and teaching in the islands.
Above, is the church in Dalcahue where they minister. We enjoyed a Sunday service worshiping the Lord together. I shared my testimony and Danny preached in the evening service.
What a neat experience to visit the islands and gain a fresh perspective of the Lord's work in a different part of Chile.
Come back soon to view more pictures of our time in Chiloe,
