Concepcion

We finally arrived in Concepcion after 4 days of travel.  We did have to take some long detours due to bridges being down.  The road was messed up in places and there are lots of small rock and land slides along the sides of the roads.
In Temuco we met up with pastor Juan Mella and we went to a store and spend a couple thousand dollars on food and supplies to take in with us.  We packed both vehicles and made it to Concepcion in the late afternoon.
Once here we met with pastor Pedro Contreras and we waited in a line at the military base for over an hour but managed to get a pass so we could be out after curfew which is from 6PM to noon.
We then went to the town of Chiguayante.  The pastor and family and parsonage are fine.  The church building has suffered serious damage.  They are exists a real possibility that it will have to be demolished.  Next we went to a church in central Concepcion.  Again, the pastoral family is fine and the church building came through in good shape.  The parsonage is a total loss and we were surprised that no one died there.
We are experiencing numerous strong aftershocks, the last being a few minutes ago that was 6.8 on Richter.
I'm surprised that we still have lights and internet!
I'll post more as I'm able
