First week

This week has gone by too fast! Our alumnos finally finished their workshop and even did some calls to companies - man, were they nervous! As you can see, we had a fairly large group. One young man continued making phone calls and by Friday, was hired by a wine-making company. I'm not sure what his position, but he seemed very excited about. So were we!














Thursday, we enjoyed a night at the temple, where I ran into one friend from BYU-Idaho (she's engaged to a Chilean) and then the Rapid City South Dakota's mission president's sister. It was a pretty random night, but fun seeing the temple and participating in Spanish! Here, this is the view of the temple from behind. The MTC is right there too, along with the church office buildings.

Jody's mission friend Eliazar's mother had a birthday, so we braved the metro to his house for a surprise party. That part of town resembled more of mine and Jody's missions - a poorer section of town and without the skyscrapers.

Here, this is Eliazar's dad holding his grandson, Andres who was so cute!




























Here's Eliazar's mom surprised to see us all there.














I was the lucky one holding the cake! It was so cool mingling with the family and friends of Eliazar. They were all really nice! We found out that his mom isn't a member, but his dad is. We thought it would be neat if she were baptized by the time we left :D! This also gave me a close up look at the Chilean people and how wonderful they are. I can't wait to get to know more!
