Due to popular demand, here are some of our brothers and sisters that we are "serving shoulder to shoulder" with here in Chile.
Nathan and Amy-
Amy is originally from Australia and Nathan is a Canadian. They are the newest arrivals to the congregation and will be here for 6 months. A very sweet couple who love to travel and serve Jehovah in as many countries as they can afford to. I can't remember how many times they have done need great work, but they know a thing or two about it. My favorite part about them is Amy's Australian accent while she speaks Spanish (something I have never heard before) and Nathan constant use of the Canadian "Eh" even while speaking Spanish.

Carmen Gloria and Margarita-
Two pioneer sisters in our congregation. Not only are they both pioneers, but they are also both English teachers at a university here in Vina so they are very skilled at English and assets to the congregation. They also both went to Bolivia to serve where the need is great in the Spanish field for a couple months last year. We haven't gotten to spend much time with them yet because they were on vacation in the South the past few weeks, so hopefully we can tell you more about them later.

Roberto-
How can we describe Roberto??? No words express his fun loving and amusing personality. He is our dedicated territory servant (I give him a lot of props for doing such a good job with it) and field service organizer. Every week he sends out an e-mail to the whole congregation with maps so we can find our ways to the various service meetings and make sure we are covering all of our territory. He is also the reason that Brandon and I are picking up some Chilean slang. The only thing he likes more than talking is eating.

Cristhian and Maria Jose-
Cristhian is one of the elders in the congregation, and both of them are pioneers. In a couple weeks they will be moving 12 hours to the South of Chile to serve in a congregation that needs help in Spanish and in learning the Native Indian language, Mapuche, to preach on the reservation there. Very wonderful examples, though they will be greatly missed by all here. Although if Brandon and I get to come back to Chile, we promised them we will come visit them, so it will be another adventure for us!

Justin-
Justin is originally from California, and is a fellow housemate of ours. He came here for three months in November, and has since decided to stay a year. He has been most helpful in letting me and Brandon know which buses to take and some good places to check out for fun stuff while we are here. He is also a fellow temp-worker at Bethel and hopes to return there after his time in Chile to help with the project in Warwick.

That is all we have time for now, but hopefully Brandon and I will be able to tell you more about some of our other friends later. As I am sure you can guess, the are all great people, and, as you can see by these last two pictures of our recent service groups, they are all very zealous for their assignments.
Wow!!! Thanks for the concise descriptions & nice visuals. We look forward to meeting them one day!
