I know it has been awhile since I was able to write. Hopefully someone is still being patient with me........ It has been almost a month since we moved from our home in Temuco to our new home in Villarrica. Life has definitely changed for us in many ways. All are good changes. Some easier than others. It has taken us awhile to get settled in and unpacked. Each week brought a little more order to our lives. It has been a challenge to move, unpack and go on with the schedule we have to keep up with, but not impossible. The biggest challenge has been not having a person to help take care of my father-in-law. This past Friday a lady started and we are in the process of training her. She has never worked with an elderly person but was willing to learn. She has a sweet spirit and the disposition to learn. Please pray for her- Alicia. We are definitely enjoying living in the country. It tests your creativity. When we run out of bread, milk, etc it's amazing what you can come up with until you get to the store. The view out our front window is different every day. We have 2 active volcanos in Chile and on a good day we can see them both. On other days they are completely hidden from view because of the cloud cover. We've decided that if we took a picture every day for a month we would never get the same view. I'm sure there is a spiritual application in there somewhere..................... I appreciate all of you that have been praying for us. We still do not have internet service but we do go into town a couple of times a week to check our E-mails. If we buy a cup of coffee we get free WIFI service. I know some of you would be a permanent fixture in the coffee shop.............. It's possible that in a month from now we can get internet service in our house. In the mean time I will try to kep up the best that I can...... Until then....................
