"Independence Day Celebration"
Each year, in September, our country dresses in white, blue and red, , the colors of our flag, to celebrate the Independence Day. In our Corps, we met on Saturday 13th, to celebrate; with our brothers and sisters, old persons, children and adults, we spend a familiar afternoon.

 |
God permitted us to have a sunny day. That afternoon,we began praising the name of God and praying for Him to bless or dear Chile, our rulers and the World.

 |
Each group of church sold something, Home League prepared and sold a typical chilean food “empanadas”, Young League was in charge of “Anticuchos” (little pieces of different kind of meat linked by a stick), children had the games and all the other persons present bought to cooperate with each group and to share with everybody in harmony and in a Christian way.

Young persons and adults participated in different championships, first a race in sacks, where the fastest one won. After a while, we had our national dance, “Cueca”; when music began to sound, championship began. Children and adults danced once and again. Three places were chosen, the winners of this year were a young man and a girl who danced very graciously.
|
 |
We continued sharing with our brothers and sisters till everything finished, all the things were sold, each group earned some money... and all of us were blessed because it was a very nice time, to laugh and share our Chilean traditional food and a cup of tea.
|
 |
We thank God for this day He gave us, in which children and adults praised His name and spent a very nice afternoon.
God bless our country and yours too.
