Leaving cabrero

We had a very productive day in Cabrero and Salto del Laja. After we had another breakfast of bread, we walked around the hotel and saw what they had. Nice, but too expensive and doesn't have the restaurant facilities we need.

One good thing at the hotel we stayed at is that they had a nice, small house for Gino and Claudell to stay in

We met Juan Vera at 10 am and went to the next hotel option. We think that this is the one! It is a new facility and they will work with us to cook the food and we would have the entire facility to ourselves in March.

Meeting room where we will eat our meals, worship and play games in the evening

And, yes, it even has a pool in the middle!

After we left, the owner of that place took us to another hotel he owns. It was nice, but doesn't have a way for us to eat.

We went to two other places that were nice but they didn't have everything the first one did. Once we return to the states, we will check again with the owner to confirm in writing and put a deposit down. We feel good about it.

Juan then took us to his home for lunch with his family. A great meal with his kids. We sat and talked for a bit while his son got ready to go. He is in medical school in Concepcion. We left to take him to the bus station.

We didn't have much left to do in cabrero tomorrow other than take pictures of one more option for the evangelism and medical. The pastor will do that in the morning and email to us.

The only outstanding items are the buses back and forth from the job site for the week. We have contact info and the pastor will continue to work.

We decided to head to Chillan to visit with Magdiel's mother, Elena, at the university. She has been so helpful thus far and she will have some thoughts on transportation and on excursions. We are sitting on a bus right now to Chillan to see her. She just got back from vacation and is still willing to met us at the bus terminal!!
