Week 10/76 Feliz Cumplemes Para Mi

This week was crazy!! 

I tried mote con wassio which is barley and peach juice with a dried peach, and it was the worst thing I've tried since being in Chile. But lots of people love it I guess.

We went to the mission office for interviews with the president and then couldn't find a bus home, so our district leader called an Uber for us, and I rode in an Uber for the first time! And the car had crank windows!

I tried Ecco which is basically Chilean, Word of wisdom approved coffee. It tastes ok with a lot of sugar. 

We decorated our house with leaves and hand turkeys for Thanksgiving, even though they don't celebrate it here, we do!! 

We have also been planning a baptism, which is going to be on Saturday and we are so excited!

Hermana Eriksson had her 13th cumplemes on Friday, and I had my 2nd cumplemes on Saturday, so we threw a party,  blew up balloons, ate candy, and had a dance party. We had to do this all on Thursday night because on friday and Saturday we did intercambios (exchanges). So I spent the day in chiguayante with hermana Redding! 

It has been so sunny, but also very windy. We are starting to see Christmas decorations in the houses, and the time is flying by. 

Yesterday we had a funeral, because we share a sector with Elders, and they said we needed to divide the area. So we mourned for the half of our area that we lost. 

Also we ran out of gas for our house, and for the past week we have been microwaving food and taking cold showers. 

I can have a decent conversation in Spanish, and I feel smarter every day!

I hope you are all doing well. Have a great week! Send me emails!!

Week 75/76 White And Ready To Harvest

I had the opportunity to teach about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon in english for the first time this week!  I asked them if they assist another church, when I was trying to ask if they attend another church and a few other spanish words slipped in, but it went well and they agreed to read 3rd Nephi!   We had 2 intercambios this week. With hermana Toro and hermana Guevara. I always learn so much and enjoy getting to know the hermanas!  We also laugh a bunch and become good friends!  We picked golden berries and had fresh golden berry juice for lunch. We also ate some pastries like the ones from Brave and Hermana Ortiz told me that in spanish they don't have a scottish accent. We had probably the worst lunch of my mission this week. Cold tuna with cheese and onions on top. I didn't mind seafood before, but that was asqueroso!  On Thursday we were waiting for people to show up to english class (no one did) I decided to check my email, and was surprised to...

This week was so crazy, but first off thank you everyone who sends me emails. I love reading about your lives and hearing from you!  Other than that it's been adventurous.  We know this member and we visit him all the time. He's 95 years old and he's so cute. His daughter is at his house to help him and we just go talk to them and she always gives us so much food. She's so nice and we just love visiting with them. We visit these other members, Dora and Marisol, all the time. Marisol is blind but they're always super sweet and they always help me with my Spanish. I'm so grateful for all the members here.  On Wednesday we had a crazy thing happen. There was a drunk guy in his car and he was trying to talk to us and then we were like 'okay here's our pamphlet' and he was like 'get in my car come with me'. So we are trying to get away and we get in  another car with this couple and we thought they were going to drive us away but then they got out...
