The Trip Down to Temuco

After packing our suitcases and the rest of our things in the moving truck, we spent the last day at the Santiago apartment with little to do except for cleaning and waiting for our field director to pick us up and drive us to the bus station to catch our overnight bus.

The boys watched the wall clock for over a half hour since they were so excited to move to Temuco. As each minute passed, they would yell out the updated time. It was funny for a while, then became mildly annoying.

Our bus left Santiago around 11:20 pm. The kids were thrilled to find out that our bus was a double decker sleeper bus. Our seats were on the top level.

Despite the lateness of the hour, the kids looked out the window for a while as we drove out of the Santiago area.

The kids slept just fine during the overnight trip. Kristi and I didn't get much sleep and arrived exhausted. After arriving at 7:30 am, Daryl Thompson picked us up and brought us back to their apartment to sleep a couple hours before heading over to our new house to wait for the moving truck to arrive.

Come back to find out what happened during the unloading of the truck.

Congratulations on moving to your new home! I can't wait to find out more...We're praying for you and excited to hear how God works. I just saw Kristi's parents and got caught up on your new little "boy". That's awesome. We both got teary and excited about a new little one for you. God is good. I am so glad I know you and can watch God work in your lives. Love you all.

Too bad the two of you didn't get much sleep but at least the kids did. :)
