Back to Pichilemu

Well, It looks like the outreach has come to an end. We will be making the very long 24 hour journey back to Pichilemu this evening. I find it hard to believe that we are actually done!! It feels like so much has happened during this school from January until now. These 5 months have been some of our best moments and also some of our most difficult and testing times. We have gained many things and I am glad to have had these experiences. At times we felt stretched beyond our limits and just too tired to go on but God is our strength and it was only by his grace that we have made it through! Looking back I can see God's hand in what we were passing through and how he made things come together. Mas que nunca puedo ver que Dios es fiel! (More than ever can I see that God is faithful!)

Our marriage has grown so much during this time as well. There were many moments where I was just so proud of Aaron and the things he said and how he dealt with some very rough situations. I have grown to love him and respect him more and more. We have really learned to work together and support each other and more than ever am I thankful to have this man in my life. We will be finishing up in Pichilemu this week and then taking a few days in Santiago and then we will be off to Ecuador! We are so excited to see Aaron's parents in Guayaquil as well as a group from the church that they are bringing.

It is hard to believe that we will be back in California in just one month! we are so excited to see our friends and family and to share our stories and experiences from South America with all of you. I am also looking forward to Cheerios, cottage cheese, and Mexcan food. I am actually most excited to have our own apartment. We love travelling and meeting new people and sleeping in random places but a part of you always craves your own space so this will be a treat for us! Thanks to everyone who is praying for us and supporting us through this journey. You are appreciated more than you know!!
