Fire News
Heaven, Baseball, and EnglishWhy reinvent the wheel...especially when I could never do as good of a job? Click HERE to read Elise's amazing blog, with some great pictures, about the immeasurable blessings of the two VBS we were able to have during January. Odds & EndsJust a quick reminder that I'm coming to visit...maybe to a town near you! ;) (I am currently in Miami...and it is proving to be a wonderful stop on the way up north...not only because of wonderful friends, but because it is just a little bit colder... and it is obviously the United States but everyone speaks Spanish!) During my visit, I will be doing a few different presentations about life in Chile at different schools and churches. Below you will find 3 different places where the presentations are open to the general public. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more specifics for any of them! The first one coming up is this Sunday, February 5th @ 9:15 am. Church services are at 8 am & 10:30 am. Also, I sadly won't be able to go around and see all your lovely faces while visiting in the USA, but I still would love to see as many of you as possible! If you live near southeastern Wisconsin, please come and share a few hours or even just a few minutes! :) ♥ P.S. I guess I should tell you...because it makes me laugh (now, after the fact)...that my dog at my passport. I'm not even kidding. Guess she didn't want me to leave? Thankfully, it was Sunday morning and I didn't leave until Tuesday evening...so I had time to throw my things together, get on a bus to Santiago, and get an emergency passport from the USA Embassy! Phew! #closecall

Southern Central Chile is on fire. Literally. Yes, this is the region where I live, but thankfully and prayerfully the city of Linares should be safe from the fires, so please don't worry for my safety. However, towns just a short bus ride away are suffering. Where I usually can look and see the beauty of the mountains is covered by a dark sad smoke cloud. Yes, there are some fires every year, but this has become the greatest forest disaster in the history of Chile. Here are some facts that I know:
So do not fear, for I am with you; This is what "people are saying":
Here is what I ask:
Wow, I haven't written to you guys since last year!
I'm guessing/hoping that with the busy-ness of the holidays you didn't even notice?! Either way, here is a little overview to get us up to date: uno). No more school, no more books...!
dos). Celebrate good times, come on!
tres). New year...new me?
cuatro). I'm but a stranger here...heaven is my home!
cinco). Party in the U.S.A!
