Sept 18

One of the important parts of Chile's Sept 18th festivities (independence day) is cooking out. Sunday a bunch of us got together and pastor Hector and I put dozens of shis ka bobs on the grill. Rhonda kept pretty busy making sure we had enough raw ones to replace the quickly eaten cooked ones!

First service

Last Sunday we went to Coyhaique where they had their first service in thier new building!
We have all waited and worked for this day for at least a year.  Needless to say everyone was very happy and no one seemed eager to leave after.

We still have a lot of work to do and we could really use some help finishing.  If you would like to help us out on this important project please contact me!

Wood Splitter

When our car came day before yesterday it had a large box inside.  We had a few guys help us offload it and yesterday Rhonda and I opened up our new firewood splitter!  It was lots of parts, even the engine was in a separate box.
And there weren't any instructions on how to put it together.
We did the best we could, at least there weren't any parts left over and fired it up today.
That thing is nice!
Pastor Hector, our visiting evangelist Daniel, and Carlos came down just then.  None of us had ever seen one before so we spend a while playing with it.
As you can see from the video it is very fast and easy to use.
We are thinking of ways we could use this thing for evangelism and helping some of the older folks in the church.
We want to really thank our friends in Alaska and Louisiana (New Iberia, First Assembly of God) for this very valuable gift.
I thank you!  My back thanks you!
