Dear amigos,

• San Pedro Anglican church – Viña del Mar (the parish where we will begin serving as soon as we return to Chile) has appointed a new Chilean rector, the Rev. Sammy Morrison (some of you may remember him because he visited Sydney in October last year. Sammy and Pato spoke at the Sydney Synod). He will be the Chilean in charge of San Pedro (the second biggest Anglican church in Chile), before him all the rectors have been missionaries.
• We finally got a date for returning to Chile (6^th February 2007). We cannot believe that five years are about to pass! Praise God for His loving care to us and for the saints who support us through CMS and Moore College. Please pray that we may be able to balance the excitement we feel because we’ll be involved in what God is doing in Chile with the deep sadness that the idea of saying good bye to so many good friends provokes in us.

• Please pray for Chile, for the new budget of the nation for 2007. It is the biggest in our history because of the big money the government has decided to invest in assisting the poor. Please pray that many needy people may benefit of this. Pray that God may keep having mercy on the Chileans and many more may turn to Christ who is the only one who can satisfy their hunger and thirst.
  

Much love,
Pato, Dagmar, Rocio and Estela
