In Copiapo...

Yesterday and today we have been spending time with GMSA missionary George Black here in Copiapo. Several future posts will be dedicated to what he has taught us and shared with us, so please check back for those (believe me they will be a must read).
George is 99 and not retired. He is still active in teaching, preaching, mentoring, and visitation. What an example and blessing he has been to both dad and I. It seems like with every story and spiritual challenge he has verbalized to us, I am tearing up with emotion and could speak if asked to. I am not ashamed of this tenderness, but just wished I could hold it together in a better way.
Mr. Black´s example to me is beyond words and comment. In some future posts, I will retell some quotes, witnessing stories, spiritual challenges, and culutral insights. Over 6 pages of my notebook are stock full of stuff to expand and share about our conversations with George.
It´s 10:30 pm and dad and I are tired. Needing a good night´s sleep for tomorrow´s travel. The bus leaves at 8 am for the close to 475 miles up to Antofagasta. Should arrive in Anto around 3 pm. In Anto, we will be staying with missionary Tom and Connie Chapman.

Oh how good it is to work for God in the daytime, and at night to lie down under His smiles. You are in my heart every kilometer of the way!
