CUECA--CUECA--CUECA--CUECA--CUECA--CUECA

CHILE'S NATIONAL DANCE IS THE CUECA.

The dance is a story of a man pursuing a woman who plays coy hiding behind her handkerchief. You will see the dance performed at every important festival in Chile and especially on the Chilean National Day , September 18th. Dancers dress in the traditional costumes of the Chilean huasco and wave their white handkerchiefs in the air.

SEPTEMBER---GO BUCKS

It is fall in North America and Spring in South America----how different for us as we remember pretty bright colored leaves, football games and bonfires. September has arrived with eight months of the year 2010 already past. Where does the time go? September has arrived and Andy's birthday is on the 26th. Thank you Lord for good health for both of us. September has arrived with the urgency of the task before us ALL... sharing the Gospel so that ALL may hear and respond to Christ as Savior.

Pray for October Mission Team--Keith & Lori Matthews, Bryan & Julie Andy, Bob Beal and Jerry Brobeck as they come to minister 9th-16th.

Pray for the November Mission Team --Mike & Lynn Young, Bill & Teresa Pugh, Kurt & Vicki Olsen as they minister 6th-15th.

Thanks for praying for us as we continue the work before us here in Chile. We share the honor of lifting you before the Throne of Grace. We would enjoy catching up with you via e-mail, facebook or our blog as well. May we each continue the task to which we are called.

On September 18th Chile celebrates El Dia de Independencia with festivities ocurring the entire month. Pray that ALL the people of Chile will know true freedom in Christ. Continue to pray for us as we work In La Compania and Chanar Blanco teaching English. God has been blessing in awesome ways as we build relationships with teachers, directors, parents and students.

Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ.
