Colina, Chile - first days

---

We have settled in here at Colina, Chile. The church has made us feel at home, making sure that all of our needs are being met while we are here. One church member has offered their van to us for the 2 weeks which is giving us a lot of needed flexibility. The first day of the dental clinic, Mel saw 17 patients. He was interviewed by TVN, the local television station. Jessica went with the mobile van to an agricultural community outside Colina. Each day they are visiting a different area. More to come on that. The construction has started, and well, we are way understaffed but we are getting more efficient. It seems pretty unlikely at this point that we will finish the construction but we'll see. We were also interviewed by the local radio station and they have asked for us to be interviewed for a 1 hour time slot Sunday morning. Everyone is pretty tired - the days are long, 6:30 breakfast and ending with VBS and the evangelism meetings which start at 8PM. More news tomorrow

Who is the donkey?
As I saw my brother's in law picture I thought, Who is the donkey? the one with the big ears, or the one who is doing the hard work?
