I hope this letter works and gets to all of you as Mom has informed me that no one has heard from me. But here I am! Alive and well.
I went on exchanges this week with a couple of sisters from Apoquindo on Friday which was fun! We had some citas set up (lessons) but all of them fell through, so we contacted the whole day! Yay! Talking to people is fun and its interesting with some of the people you meet. A lot of people assume we're Jehovah's Witnesses but we try our best to assure them that we are not. But it was a good day and productive. And Apoquindo is higher up in the mountains so we had a nice view of Santiago.
Yesterday we had to get vaccines for the flu. I was so sure that I was safe, being new in the field and recently vaccinated, but it was not meant to be. I had to get vaccines too because apparently its a different kind of sickness down here. It was nice seeing everybody from the mission, because they also had to do the same thing.
Last Tuesday it rained, which cleaned out the air for a day or two and made everything so clear and pretty. We could also see snow on the mountaintops! My companion says its just a sign that winter is coming, because apparently it rains every day during the winter and is really cold. And it has been really cold every morning. It warms up around 11ish to noon, if it's not too cloudy. I usually leave the apartment with a coat because most of the time its cold.
We are having more lessons which is good, and we had family home evening with the family Mabel yesterday, which was really fun! We talked about what the prophet said in General Conference, how decisions determine the rest of your life and after this life. It was a good lesson and they are an awesome family!
Also this past week has been my one month mark in Chile. Its so weird to think I've been here for a month because it feels like its flown by.
I hope that everybody's week is going great! Choose the right and know what you stand for!!!
