How great is our God!
It is really hard to put into words how marvelous the works of God are. He has worked a good work here in Chile. We are all standing in awe at the love and generosity that has been extended to us. It was a really hard day to say goodbye to all the wonderful people we have been with these last 2 days.
Today after we celebrated Mass, Dennis gave a brief review of the previous day, then I gave the training talk about Praying for others on the Alpha Course. After the talk the guests had the opportunity to pray with each other.......It was beautiful to watch, the Spirit could have moved mountains the way it was moving at the venue. Then Dennis gave the talk 'How Can I Be Filled With the Holy Spirit' . Well, from then on, as you all know, everyone was everyones best friend and there were no more language barriers or road blocks. God is so Good. Fr. Juan is so supportive of the Alpha Program here in Arica and is very open and excited to jump in with both feet. Then Ramona talked about giving the teachings and Carole gave a review in her talk 'How to start running the Alpha Course' Miracles happen every day, we just need to take time to recognize them. Dave and the rest of the music ministry team were overwhelming.....All we have to do now is wait for the C.D. release. Many people had asked for it at the training.
The most emotion I felt today was when we showed the slide show and our home team was in the room with us. We love all of you and think and pray for you every day.
Tomorrow we need to check out of the hotel by noon, then will go to the rectory for lunch, then off to the airport for our flight to Santiago. God willing we will have internet access when we get there and can update you tomorrow evening. If not please be patient until we can connect and put up a new post.
Many Blessings
Carrie
