Back Home from Colina, Chile

---

We are all back home safely now after a wonderful trip. We wished we could have completely finished the church, but we accomplished a lot with the small group we had. What will remain are the the blocks on the front and back above the roof line and the roof. It was complete enough that we dedicated the church on Sabbath and held the first service. It was really hard to say goodbye. We all became very close to this church family. They were very generous to us through the whole time. We will always remembers the tamales and empanadas and cakes. The dental team spent much of their time in the outline agricultural areas, and of ten patients brough wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables as gifts. Mel and Jessica saw over 200 patients over the 2 weeks. All dental services provided for free largely funded by the Quibas. It will be exciting to keep in touch with this church. Colina will grow and os will this church. We are all grateful to God for his protection durign this trip.
