2nd Methodist Church - Iquique

from John Elmore, missionary in Iquique

Living in Iquique Chile, is pretty much like living anywhere else in the world. There are Shopping malls, theaters, Restaurants, Schools, vehicles of every size and shape, new and old. In the morning, along the beachfront there are people out exercising, walking and running along the beach, there is the morning traffic heading into the downtown area for work.
Morning time for me and my wife are pretty similar to that of any working couple. We wake up; I turn on the hot water heater, start the coffee pot and prepare breakfast. My wife is in the shower, and getting ready for school. We have breakfast and then join the traffic to drop her off at school. I join the joggers along the beach before I go to my duties.While I am on my power walk, I notice a lot of things that I don’t see while driving. People sleeping on the beach and just waking up with the sun in their face. People sleeping under the stairs that lead to the beach, they have cardboard boxes for walls that protect them from the night air.
