Brunch on the Balcony
Today we had breakfast on our balcony for the first time since around April. It’s a beautiful spring day, with 17 degrees and sunshine, despite the snow on the mountains around Santiago.
We’ve not written a blog for sometime now. Life has been rather hectic and stressful. Rachel has been busy preparing and making presentations of her work, one at the University and another to ESO itself. Douglas has been applying for jobs, working with a charity called La Esperanza (Hope) and building websites (a side interest that has proved quite useful to Chilean churches and charities!).
Rachel’s health has not been tip-top recently, with motivational problems, tiredness and difficulty concentrating. Two friends are also struggling with seasonal illnesses- Noemi and Joanne. We’d value your prayers.
Congratulations to our friends Joel and Ophelia with their new baby, Fabio Kai (thats a male for any Brits who are wondering!).
Finally, if anyone knows a church looking to sponsor a children’s shelter home abroad (in Chile), please let Douglas know. He is working to identify regular donors to support the work of two residencias operated by a church in a poor sector of Santiago. They are currently struggling under a burden of a $3000 deficit per month.
