Magallanes

Mar 17th drove to airport (2 hours), got there just before 10 with, we thought, an hour to spare.  They were boarding the plane.  I have no idea what happened.  Just made it.
Flew North to Puerto Montt, waited an hour and boarded another plane South.  Arrived in Punta Arenas in the afternoon and pastor Pedro picked us up.  Spend the night and in the morning boarded the 20 passenger plane to Williams.  Great flight with almost no turbulence.
Preached Sat and Sun, met with lots of folks.  The church is doing good and pastor Felipe and family are well.
Headed back to Punta Arenas the 22nd and spoke Wed night at Pedro's church.  They had a surprise snack time laid out and we had a great time sharing after the service.
Pastor Claudio is continuing to build the church in front of his house.  Looks good although progress is slow.  He is doing almost all the work alone.
Met Henry and Claudia, leaders of our newest work.  They came down from Temuco and are starting a work in a rented community center.  We had a great time with them and encouraged them in the work and to work towards credentials.
Got home Fri and today we head to Cisnes.  Hope to return this evening.

View of the plane to Williams.  The same guy checks your ticket, takes your ticket at the gate, and loads your luggage.  Yes they have a metal detector, no they don't use it.

Nice view of the activity in the cockpit.  Captain came back before the flight and assigned 2 passengers to help someone off that was on crutches if we had an accident.

We fly over a number of glaciers on the way.

The church in Puerto Williams sends greetings!

Puerto Williams is the Chilean capitol of Antarctica.  This could explain the cool temperatures.

Chileans love you with food  :-]
