Well team we´ve done it!
The last year has finally paid off. Both GAT events are finished and many seeds have been planted. Now it´s up to the Lord to nuture these seeds.
What an incredible day it has been. Once again we have made many new friends. The talks all went well and the prayer time was a very inspirational time for all the people. The Santiago group gifted each of us with a bottle of vino and sent us off with everyone singing a Chilean song. The voices were all so joyous. Dennis couldn´t resist dancing with Carmen. Very moving moment for us Canadians. Here is the song they sang to us:

After our goodbyes, we returned to the retreat house for a few minutes of rest. The weather was spectacular, considerng it was a winter day, and the backdrop of the mountians was nothing short of breath taking. Carrie thought it would be a great idea to teach the group how to yodel. Did you know Carrie knows how to yodel? No neither did we. And apparently she doesn´t know that either. I do have the entire experience on video. You won´t want to miss this when we have our Chile night.
The five of us and ¨also¨ Karen went to Bariloche for our last supper together and had one last Pisco Sour. Our time together is now bittersweet. We are all looking forward to coming home, but we leave behind another friend who we will NEVER forget. Karen is the sweetest person we´ve ever met. So gentle, yet so funny. Always bringing joy into whatever room she enters. Karen, we will always remember our time with you.
One last sleep in these awesome beds the Lord has blessed us with, and this journey comes
to an end.
To ALL our new friends in Chile...may God bless each on of you with ALL the riches of Heaven.
To our two angels...Edu and Karen...words cannot express our gratitude for all you have done for us...we will NEVER forget you!
Signing off from Chile, South America...
Canada we are coming home!!!
Blessing to everyone.
Carole and the team.
