Chile:)

hey everyone!
Just wanted to let you all know i made it to Chile alive and well! :) The flights were ok, nothing special. but I actually finished a whole book! (first one in about a year)
Everything else went as planned. i learned a couple of things, when paying your entrance to Chile they don't let you bring in almonds...and BE SURE to carry your luggage yourself. if you let anyone help you they expect some pesos! even if its 10 steps to go around the corner!!
Jenesia and I rode three busses to get to the Brother and Sister's house we're staying at here. The longer the drive went on the prettier the scenery was! In Donihue, where we are staying, it's surrounded by mountains and very green. I will take more pictures tomorrow!


I apologize in advance for the pictures that aren't rotated the right way! This usually drives me nuts, but the way i usually rotate, it didn't give me the option. :(
                                    the first picture i took just recently after the meeting tonight. to the left is Jenesia, then is Patty and her husband and to the right is the Aunt and Uncle of the household. :) This family is SO super hospitable, it has been nice learning about them! One evening we were able to go over the daily text in English and Spanish. The parents are trying to learn English so we were all able to practice our English and Spanish. i hope we get to do that more evenings!:) next is the mean turtle. Jenesia says he bites, and when i walk by sometimes he looks like he's just taunting me to get closer to his tank. hehe
the orange stuff in the cup... i can't remember the name of it but its a typical dessert in Chile. SO delicious!!! It consists of cooked wheat and apricots, with water that combines the flavors. The last picture is me and Patty:)

Tomorrow Jenesia has a pioneer meeting along with Patty and I'm excited i get to go with the grandparents to a KH build. I just hope that my Spanish will be good so i can actually be useful!:) Well that is all for now. Take care everyone! i'll try to update my blog soon:)
