Olmue, Chile

Its hard to believe our time here in Olmue, Chile, is almost over. What a wonderful time it has been. Worship time has been awesome. The singing, well, what a choir 110 missionaries make. The messages were both challenging and refreshing, taking us back to the fundamentals of the Bible and our calling. Training sessions ever afternoon were insightful and very profitable to our ministry. The breakout sessions with our Strategy Associate was a meaningful time. It was a time to listen to other missionaries tell their stories and concerns. Prayer was a major part of the entire week.

The weather here has been cool, but very nice and comfortable. Mike and I are fixing to walk to a national park in the area. I have no idea where it is, and I don't think he does either. Sandy is going to lay by the pool with the other ladies on our team.

Be praying for us as our language study begins February 4th. We are ready to get started as we must be able to communicate to herald the gospel in the heart language of our people. We leave tomorrow and return home to Lima. Yes Lima is beginning to feel like home. Last week I was in Caraveli with the vision team and we were all introducing ourselves to the mayor, and when it got to me I had to stop and think for a second. It is hard to believe I am really a missionary from Lima now and not one of the volunteers.

Well, lets go walking.

Alan and Sandy Stone
