Copiapo







Kevin spent much of his mission in the town of Copiapo. So, we definately had to go see his old stomping grounds. We flew up to the outskirts of town. Before heading up to Copiapo, we stopped to see a little fishing village named Caldera. We also got to see a popular tourist destination called Bahia Ingles. While in Copiapo, we had a very special experience finding and visiting a sweet couple that Kevin got to teach 20 years ago. It was definately an afternoon filled with the tender mercies of the Lord. I think our visit with Victor and Graciela was the highlight of our whole trip for Kevin. We spent quite a few hours with them! We also had a barbecue with Kevin's old mission friends and family. Thank you Yanina and Pato for a yummy dinner! We also got to drive out to see an old Inca mine and visit some of the infamous Chilean grape vineyards.

2 penny for your thoughts:
