It seems rescued Chilean miner Jose Henriquez is as popular with the press there as he was here.
El Mercurio covered his arrival back in Chile with the headline quote "Obama was impressed by my story about the mine".
He has been to a diverse selection of churches across England, Ireland and the US to give talks about his experience in the mine and testimony to his faith, El Mercurio reported.
Jose's verdict on Obama, whom he met at the National Prayer Breakfast? "'The President is a warm, friendly man,' said the miner who adopted the role of spiritual guide during their 70 days in the mine."
The paper says he spoke to over 1,000 people at the Prayer Breakfast, although he only had a few minutes. He found it significant that participants came from many countries and religions.
"'Everyone wanted to praise God and tell about their experiences. Most of them were Christian.' In England he visited churches across the country."
