A team of 4 ladies from Santiago arrived this morning and they will be leading a VBS program for the girls all week. Dan finished up the gate he was working on, we got all Gary's tools at least put back in his barn and then we cleaned up the casa and put the fridgerator back in the teaching kitchen. Gary will get the exhaust hooked up for the new water heater and Sue will then have hot water in the teaching kitchen! We are bringing back a few suprises for people but we are more looking forward to seeing our loved ones and friends. At the Santiago airport, Jeff got a caesar salad with shrimp - well it came with very rubbery shrimp and blue cheese dressing; it went back and we shared burgers and fries. Right now I am charging up the laptop power while we are waiting for our plane to Lima, Peru. thank you again for your support and love, CHWT 2009 Kyleigh Mills, Anika Schmidt, Jeff Mills, Ruth Helms, Dan Helms and Felipe Hooker 2009,work,trip,,Day,11,leave,and,travel,day Filipe no No http://chwt.redeemercovenant.org/?p=176 http://chwt.redeemercovenant.org/?p=176#comments Sun, 01 Feb 2009 14:47:25 +0000 Felipe http://chwt.redeemercovenant.org/?p=176 http://chwt.redeemercovenant.org/?feed=rss2&p=176 4:06 Hola from Osorno - our last full day of work here.

The playhouse received a fabric roof and fireman's pole, which required some digging out of a hole and cement; the chicas have been told to stay off for at least one day, but we will see. Dan has been repairing wall tile and replacing rusted out shower curtain rods, while Jefe has been sweating copper and hooking up the in line water heater in the teaching kitchen - it passed the Jefe water pressure test!nbsp; Gary just needs to hook up the vent for it and test fire it.nbsp; Anika put the second coat of blue and white paint on tia Marcellas house out back.nbsp; Felipe did some more pruning and put up the rain gutter over their front door.nbsp; Kyleigh was helping out where ever she could and playing with the chicas - she is a very hard worker. One of the Hogars success stories is Crystal and Cati, they are living with a local christian business man and his wife; the two chicas are around 14 and 17 and they are studious, happy and spreading the Gospel when ever they can.nbsp; They came to visitnbsp; today and I showed them photos from way back in 2002. We have been overwhelmed by the thankfullness and encouragement from the chicas and staff; we will be deprived of the constant hugs and kisses.nbsp; This a beautiful country; last night we saw how the rich and the poor live here in Osorno.nbsp; Most live pay check to paycheck here, while 1% have lots of stuff and 20% scratch to survive.nbsp; We did see the current box on stilts that the family lives in who the kids at Redeemer raised funds to buy a house for.nbsp; Gary said it is in process and the father has turned his life around.nbsp; Their abode is on stilts backed up to a hill, surrounded by other casas in the same style. Thank you for all your support and encouragement, love, Kyleigh, Anika, Ruth, Dan, Jeff and Felipe CHWT 2009 2009,work,trip,,Day,10,work,and,finish,up Filipe no No
