Over the weekend we took a bus 2 hours north to a small country town of Catapilco. Ronald's family owns a summer home there and we made a retreat with the Ouachita group and some Chilean's from Karen's groups. The leader of the OG, Professor Terry Carter, lead 4 sessions of instructing how we can read, study, interpret and apply the bible every day. There were about 20-25 of us in this little house, and we had a great time. Only a few Chilean's spoke English, so conversation was limited, but life can be lived well even without words. We played the game "signs" for hours, sang and ate great food.
One thing I'm learning is how fortunate I am to be in such a rich community of Christians where I work and when I'm at home. This is not the case for Chilean's in most places. Their time together is so precious and very encouraging. I'm loving the chances I get to see them interact with one another.
