Punta Arenas

We had a good trip to Punta Arenas.  The airport in Balmaceda was COLD!  Must have been under 40(f) inside.  Trip was uneventful and pastor Pedro met us at the airport.  We met with a lot of people there, we got to take our pastors out to eat, and we had a good time all around.

We also met with Carlos Rivera and his wife who are interested in starting a new work in the northern part of the city.  We gave the go-ahead and will be working with them getting going.  We're excited to see our Lords kingdom growing here!

One thing happened you might like to hear:
Sunday Pedro asked if it would be OK not to go out to eat but instead just share a simple meal with he and a few others at an apartment someone had loaned him.  Of course we said that would be fine.

After church we went to the small and simple apartment near the church.  Maybe was 200 sqare feet inside.  Some folks came with chicken, potatoes, lettuce, etc.  Then more people came with other stuff, then more people came... there ended up being around 17 people eating lunch there!  Rather snug but great fellowship.
