Each year the GMSA missionaries gather during the summer for a week of conference and encouragement. This year the conference was in the country of Uruguay. In part one, we will share about the first leg in our journey.
We flew from Antofagasta to Santiago. The flight only takes two hours compared to 17 hours by bus or car.
Antofagasta from above...
While in Santiago, our family was able to visit several established churches. Above, is the church in the Micalvi neighborhood.
We were able to encourage Pastor Manuel Rivas and family during our time at his church.
We visited our GMSA co-workers, Jonnie & Carolina Rae, at the Monte Verde church plant in a Santiago suburb. The church just purchased and moved into a new building.
Each time we visit Santiago, we try to visit some language school friends, John & Laura Neimeyer. They serve with Baptist Mid-Missions, planting a church in southeast Santiago. It was so great to see their family again. 
David even had time to play one round of golf with three other ABWE missionaries. This was a special blessing to play with them and relax a bit. It's been three years since David played golf.
After our time in Santiago, we jumped on another plane headed over the Andes. Come back for part two...
