Unexpected blessings

It all happened so fast. It started by receiving an email from some friends in Mississippi (former missionaries in Chile) asking if we could put together a short list of items that we needed or wanted. Our friends had heard of a university missions team that was planning to serve in Antofagasta and wanted to send some items to us with the team.

We met up with the team from William Carey University on a Saturday to get to know them and pick up our package from our dear friends. Our family wasn't a part of their trip or activities, but was thankful for their willingness to pack the items in their suitcases.

We were overwhelmed with what the package contained. Small blessings from dear friends. A few board games, chocolate chips, fruit snacks, and books.

I (David) was able to help the team on their final day in Antofagasta by driving them around the city for some last minute shopping as well as to the airport to catch their flight. Several friendships with Americans and Chileans were made during this short time together with the team. We thank the Lord for crossing paths with these believers.

So fun to have visitors bearing gifts from home! I have to admit the headline drew me in... I was thinking maybe another little Flinck might be on the way! Our love to all~ Phil & Pat
