So Monday morning one of the friends, Mattias, picked up Erna (one of the workers) and Elisa and I in Villarrica and we went to Puerto Montt, where the next special meeting is. Jon and Brendan were taking a bus and would meet us there.
We stayed at the home of Jose and Blanca until Friday morning. Then we got to spend Friday and Saturday nights with Wilfredo y Gladys, where special meeting was on Sunday. It was really neat to have some time with them, they are both really special couples. We spent our time in Pto Montt visiting with the friends, so we didn't see that much of the city, so not too much to tell.
The last meeting on Sunday ended at 4:45pm and our bus to the island where the next special meeting is left at 5:20pm. So we rushed out after meeting and made it to the bus station in time. Marcelo and Celinda live on the island but had come over for Sunday meetings so they rode the bus back with us. There were a few of us traveling together: Jon, Elisa, Laura, three workers Anita Bird, Erna Carillo, and Norman Schulz, then Marcelo and Celinda and kids.
Our bus took us to the very edge of the mainland then drove onto a ferry waiting at the water. The ferry took about 2 other semis and 3 cars along with our bus. You could get out and walk around while we were crossing, that was pretty neat.
We finally made it to Marcelo y Celinda's house at 11:15pm. We sat down to dinner at quarter to 12 and were in bed by half past 12! It was a long day and it felt good to sleep in on Monday morning.
Special meeting here on the island is on Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon we will catch a bus back to Puerto Montt, have a couple days there, and then head up back to Santiago.
More later.
