Day Four.

Today, Alayne and Pierce went with the computer ministry to visit two computer labs that had been set up in previous years to see how things were going and if they had any questions or needed help.  These computers had been donated and set up in a room for students to use in schools.  If there are people to maintain these computers, the trip is usually pretty successful.  If there are people that don't know how to care and maintain the computers, it is frustrating.  Most of the computers are well maintained, but we saw both the good and the not so good today.  It really showed me that education is the first step to helping anyone help themselves.  Here are some pictures from today (the camera went with Alayne and Pierce)

We also had a big celebration service tonight at the church here in Santiago.  Lots of singing, preaching and gift giving for the 20th anniversary of this trip.  So much cooperation and love here.  You can just feel the importance of the relationships.  We are so happy to be a part of this!  And yes, even the gringos got up on stage and sang a few songs!  Pierce and Joel even accompanied!
