A Visit from Friends

Last Sunday afternoon, some friends of ours stopped by for a visit. The interesting thing about this visit is that we haven't seen these friends for many years. Matter of fact, our kids have never met their kids, but through technology, we have been keeping up with the Garcia family for years now. Our short time with them was sweet.

Pedro and Stephanie Garcia are ABWE missionaries in Iquique, Chile (a northern city). They have been in Chile over a year and a half. Pedro's father was our Spanish pastor during our year at language school in Texas. Steph and Kristi grew up together in Chile as MK's. So our families have connections, but we haven't been able to physically see each other for many years.

The Garcia family has three adopted children and two more adopted baby boys from Haiti are on the way. Follow the Garcias via their ministry blog, or follow their process of adopting the two boys via their adoption blog.

The children had fun swimming and getting to know each other in a better way, while the adults sat around and caught up on life. The Garcias were only in Santiago for a few days, and are now back home in Iquique. We hope to visit them in the future in northern Chile.

Thank you Pedro and Steph for taking the time to visit our family!
