The trip to Temuco was wonderful! I’m so glad for the new
friendships that we were able to establish and for being able to care for some
old friendships. That week ended up being one of my most tiring weeks in a long
time. When I laid my head down last Monday night I had taught 16 times in 9
days. Here is a recap of our trip to Temuco:
Wednesday
Take a bus to the airport, 1.5 hour drive
Take a 1 hour flight to Puerto Montt
Go to the bus terminal, purchase tickets, wait for bus, 2
hours
Take bus to Temuco, 6 hours
Take taxi to church service
Enjoy wonderful fellowship with the Pastor and his family
Finally get to our place where we were being put up at
about midnight
Thursday
Preach a chapel message
Teach 1.5 hours in Bible Institute
Go to Pizza Hut while the Thompsons watched Micah (yeah!)
Enjoy a mall (I hate malls, but this was cool!)
Teach 3 hours in Bible Institute
Friday
Preach a chapel message
Teach 2 hours in Bible Institute
Go to lunch at a pastor’s house in Pillanlelbun (good
luck saying that right)
Eat a delicious lunch and receive a bag of merken as a
gift (more to come about Merken in a future post)
Get back to the institute
Walk to McDonalds (I hate McDonalds, but I’ve never been
so happy to eat below average food)
Lay down for a little before getting to the bus terminal
at 2 in the morning
Saturday
5.5 hour bus ride to Puerto Montt
Picked up by pastor friend and enjoyed breakfast with he
and his wife
To the airport for our 1 hour flight to Balmaceda airport
Take the transfer back home from the airport, 2 hours
Get home and make a fire!
Boy, that was a crazy trip. But worth it if even just for the Dr. Pepper, Pizza Hut and "below average" food, as you called it;) Being married to you is a lot of things, but never boring!
