Hello everyone!
My name is Kristie Turner. And I have been appointed to bring you the news from Chile! Many of you don’t know me. However I am one of the Canadian team members. I will be trying to update you every couple days or so with a message and some awesome pictures from our photographer. Our internet connection is intermittent so please bear with us as we try to bring you news.
The cooks had prepared a wonderful lunch for us so we ate though we were very tired. However, all of us wanted to
Today (Monday) most of the girls are off to school. We get up around 6:00 am. (Well most of us anyway!) We have breakfast at 7:00 am that the cooks (other team members) have been so lovingly preparing sense 5:30 am. After breakfast we have a time of worship, praise and prayer.
The Andes mountain ranges are stunning and we would really like to go see them close up. Nevertheless, we must remain in the walls surrounding the home as it is the only that protects us and the girls from what surrounds them. However there is no other place we would all rather be right now than serving God by serving these girls.
I know everyone here misses their families and you miss them too. But now you have a chance to pray for them and the work they are doing here. We have a couple special prayer requests from here in the Hogar. First, Jim Farthing has been suffering from migraine headaches and we ask you to pray for him even though he is doing better now. Second, the Hogar’s head cook, Nelly, had her mother pass away yesterday and we ask that you pray for her also. Also, please pray for all of us as we try to complete the work we were called to do. Last but not least, please pray for the girls of the Hogar as we share with them tonight and over the next couple of weeks, the word and love of God.
Kristie
