Busy weekend

Hey everyone, we had quite a busy weekend and we needed and really felt your prayers.

Some of the things that stand out now that we're back home:

Sunday morning I preached a missions service in Puerto Aysen.  They really put a lot of effort into it and most of the kids and several adults dressed in national costumes.  We had to leave before the end of the service to get to Puerto Cisnes in time for the evening service.  (Just got word that 4 adults gave their hearts to the Lord!)

We made it to Cisnes in about 3.5 hours, Rhonda made some sandwiches Sat night and we stopped and ate on the way.

Service was packed, it's a tiny place and there were 27 present.  Including those who attended Sat night and didn't come Sun AM they reached 33 this weekend.  Very good for Cisnes!

2 people gave their hearts to the Lord, a neighbor lady and a young girl.

A 91 year old lady and her daughter walked nearly an hour to attend.  When I took them home I had to lift her in and out of the car.

We forgot kerosene and the firewood is too wet to light in the cabin.  We never did get a fire our whole stay.  Temps were in low 40's in the AM inside.

Mon afternoon it got hot!  Temps must have been in upper 60's and everyone is out in t-shirts and shorts.  Very nice weather!  Spent the day visiting and counseling.

Tue AM we headed home, good weather and made it back safe and sound if rather tired.

Thank you for praying for us and for the pastors and work in Puerto Cisnes!
