Today was a great day, despite the cold weather. I am staying with Josh and Danica. Josh, Enrique and Norma are staying at different elder's homes. We are enjoying the local people and the food, especially the churrascos and chorrillana. After lunch we visited the church to see the space and determine the layout for the service. Without any heat, it was very cold inside. It is amazing that this does not stop people from gathering and worshiping God.
We are beginning to meet a lot of the people that will be involved in the church and supporting Josh on his new journey. First we met with Patty and Carolina. They are in charge of all the visual communication for the new church. We got to see the videos and bulletins in progress for Sunday. Next we met with Nancy, the lady who will be starting Celebrate Recovery in Chile. It was a great meeting. She is very enthusiastic, and it is encouraging to see that in the people here. Later we met with Maxi. Maxi is Josh's assistant, and his wife just recently passed away. It was an emotional but uplifting talk. In a half hour we will be meeting with the Executive team of the new church. We are looking forward to this meeting, as it will set the stage for the leadership and structure of the church.

It is so exciting - this helps us to feel a part of the process - thank you for sharing! Speaking of Celebrate Recovery (some will get it) that to me is really awesome to see that being used because I know the value of changed lives!! God bless you all! - Robin
