Feliz Sabado!!

We had a great Sabbath with the Cabrero congregation. After a cold night, we walked to the pastors house and had breakfast with him and his wife. We walked to church for Sabbath school.

Pastor Caesar Montecinos and his wife Danitza

They are meeting in a house and it was standing room only today. Tito found out on the way to church that he was preaching so he spent sabbath school getting prepared!

After the church service we went to the local school and had lunch with the church members. The head deacon is the principal of the school so we had access. We thought we might be able to use it for the medical mission but school is in session so that isn't an option.

After we ate, the church members wanted to know more about how things will work so we spent a while talking about the construction, medical mission and evangelism. They seem eager to help and wanted to know what they could do to prepare.

After we wrapped up, we went by a couple of town halls that we might be able to use for the evangelism and medical mission. One that we saw would be perfect for medical, but a little small for evangelism. We will see the other on monday.

The Centro Cultural, where we think we will have the meetings and medical mission. We couldn't get in while we are there, but should have pictures soon.

We then went to the pastors house to relax and talk before the evening service. After walking back to the church, we had the evening service. It was run by the youth and was great.

The only town that has hotels large enough for our group is Salto del Laja. That is where we are staying tonight. One of the church members drove us here and dropped us off.

It is very nice and will fit all of us and has a meeting room. It is also expensive and doesn't have (at least that we can see) kitchen facilities we can use.

Tito and walked to a store again to get dinner. On our way back we saw some cabins that looked promising so we stopped in. One place has some options that we are going to check into tomorrow after scoping a couple of other options out.

If we are supposed to mission in Chile next year, it will work itself out tomorrow. Keep us in your prayers.

Babe,

So glad you and Pastor Tito had such a good day. Feliz Sabado to you both as well.

We're are planning a medical mission after all? I didn't realize we had someone to run it?

Take care. Rach
