So yesterday we arrived safely back to Donihue!:) It was super sad to leave Vina where i met a lot of new friends but the week was a blast. We were kindly invited to stay with a super fun couple, Daniela & Miguel. Miguel called me and Jenesia his daughters while we were there haha. They are helping in the English congregation, so it was nice they wanted us to speak English to help them practice. The congregation has about 40 publishers; so with a smaller congregation everyone is close knit! One thing that was kindof neat about visiting was hearing all the different talks from different brothers and sisters with accents! Some from South Africa, some from New Zealand, some from Canada, and the rest was either accents like ours or Chilean accents:)
This last week mostly consisted of being a beach bum, hanging out with friends, going out in service and the party on Saturday. One day in service we did telephone witnessing. it was a little scary for me because after i asked (in Spanish) if there were any foreign English speaking people living in the household...if they said more than no...it was hard to understand :D but it worked out. Jenesia was able to talk to someone that was interested in what she was saying. She was able to share Matt 5:3, placed the magazine about finding contentment and he wanted someone to stop by to share more! Another time we did informal witnessing walking along the coast and were able to meet a nice lady from Poland who was only there for the day. So even though it's a little more difficult because they have to find English speaking people... those kinds of experiences make it all worth it!:)) this week was super encouraging, learning how the different ones in the congregation learned the truth in a totally different part of the world and how they ended up in Chile. :)
anyway, this week we are back in Donihue... thursday or friday we leave for Argentina to renew our visas and after we leave for our ultimate destination Puertezuelo!:)
Jenesia taught me how to do a slideshow, so the pics are a little more organized this time ;) i hope everyone is doing well!! much love, corn <3
