Haha life here is THE BESTTTTTT. I LOVE IT. Ok so i´ll give you the low down. FIRST OFF thank you sooooo much for all writing me. It meant the world! Ok so I live in the old swiss consulate and we call it the Alcantara. IT IS GORGEOUS. Its where all the general authorites would stay when they came to Chile. Its this BEAUsTIFUL home. My district and the latino district that came the same day as us live there and we bus over to the CCM everyday. All the other kids live at the CCM suckkkkaaass. Just kidding. But really it is such a blessing to live there! its so beautiful and fancy fun. AND we dont have to eat at the ccm cafeteria for breakfast AND for exercise we get to run around town and play in the outside world!!! CHILE IS SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS. I love it here so much. Everyday my adorable companion and I run around and have so much fun. I love it. We are such a good team. She really is my long lost best friend. She loves spongebob, cats, and she thinks her own jokes are funny. We are a match made in heaven. What a blessing. We try to work so hard even though we know ZIPPO espanol. ok.. spanish. is hard. I feel very frustrated trying to learn it. They have you teach ínvestigators (teachers)in spanish after 2 days of being here haha. Obviously they know you dont speak the language but it still is really frustrating trying to flip through a book of phrases to tell them something. I have faith that I will learn it. It will be good. but for now its just stupid haha. ANYWAYS. sorry for ranting. So classes in the ccm are SO fun. And all my teachers here are chileno and SOOO funny. haha I love them. They are so fun to talk to. me and sister reynolds (mi companera) room with two latinas and we are the best of friends. we go around teasing eachother and even though we have NO idea what the other are saying hahha. lots of actions are involved. Their names are Hermana Aziama and Hermana Rodriguez. Hermana Aziama is from Argentina and makes fun of us soooo bad and calls us Mala and Debil (she cant say her v haha) and hides behind the doors and scares us haha. She scared me the other night at like 1100 pm and I screamed and she could not even contain herself she was laughing so hard and I was all, HERMANA AIZAMA ES MUY MALA!!! That made her laugh even harder haha. Then she came up to me and was all, lo siento.... I love you in english and the deepest voice hahaha. It was so great. They both are so cute and leave us the SWEETEST notes about how they love me and sister reynolds and they are going to be so sad when they leave. IM GOING TO BE SO SAD WHEN THEY LEAVE. They are so adorable. I took a picture on my poloroid camera and im going to give it to them. Entoinces.. at the ccm we just study pmg and learn gospel words in spanish. We eat the same thing for every meal. potatos, rice, some meat and greasy veggies. im over it haha. but it still tastes delicious every meal time because for some reason everyone gets so hungry. All day long my stomach does the craziest sounds. Also i´m never going to poo in peace again because my companion always is with me haha. Today was p day! yayayayya. I love it. so happy. We had freedom to walk around and we bought some diet coke and got some epenadas with cheese, spinach and corn. it was so fun. Chile is seriously SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO AMAZING. I love it. All the people are SOOO nice. They love americans. Its super modern in the big city. But from driving from the airport I know the outskirts are really poor. My mission is the whole rich city. Its going to be so fun. The weather here is gorgeous. Everyday has been beautiful. I dont even need to wear a sweater. It reminds me of california weather. I love it. Im so glad im here. I´m having so much fun besides the darn espanol! but I guess I should cut myself some slack. Its only been one week haha. ummmmm.. My mission president is really nice and chill and his wife is so nice and funny. She made us cookies the other night and i was like AHHHH yay. I love cookies. Elder and sister Jacobson are the couple that stay at the Alcantara house with us. They are older like late seventies and they are SOOO kind. They are so helpful and comforting. Also we have a housekeeper lady named Cecilia and she is so beautiful kind and funny. She talks to us in spanish all day and does our laundry and helps us keep it clean and helps make breakfast. Every morning she says no witches!!! Color!!!! haha she doesnt like when we dress in black haha. She is so sweet. Ok. sooooo... I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR WRITING ME. YOU ARE SO KIND.
