A Visit from the Perrys

One week after my parents left Chile, Mark & Bekah Perry flew down to visit us for one week. Mark was a Bible College roommate of mine back in the day. He and his wife now serve in local church ministry in Westerville, Ohio.

Despite several unknowns of the post-earthquake conditions at the Santiago airport, Mark and Bekah flew down anyway. They had no problems getting to Temuco by plane. Our whole family was at the Temuco airport to meet them. The kids were excited to have them open their suitcases, which were full of goodies and gifts.

During their time with us, we have been able to take them to our local church (above) and introduce them to the members.

Mark went out to the Sunday afternoon San Ramón ministry with me in order to learn more about what God is doing in this ministry.

Mark and Bekah were willing to work down at the Bible Institute painting the girl's dorm in preparation for classes starting on March 29th.

Our time with the Mark & Bekah went by quickly. We enjoyed times of laughter and conversation together while showing them around Temuco. After a week with us, we dropped them off with Dan & Liz Thompson for a week's visit with their family at the Bible Camp.

Thanks Mark and Bekah for visiting our family and ministry here in southern Chile.
