My dear calm and quiet Bloom... family,
LILY you are the crazy one!!!! ah ha bet you weren´t expecting that one. This week has been a good one. The weather has been a little weird in the mornings the sky is full of clouds and it is freezing cold but about 3:00 there is not a cloud in the sky and we are frying as we walk. But all is good this weekend has started the fiestas patrias. It is like the 4th of July for us but they celebrate for an entire week dancing cultural dances, making traditional food and eating BBQ everyday all day long. People are very patriotic here, if you are on a tall building, you can see thousands of Chilean Flags. It is actually pretty cool. On Saturday we had a ward party, we were in charge of decorating, and so of course it turned out splended. : ) Many people showed up and even a couple our investigators were part of the show in the evening. We played a bunch of typical Chilean games including tug of war, sack races and of course dancing the cueca, it is the Chilean national dance. We didn't dance of course but it is always fun to watch.
We found a family knocking doors that it iterested in learning more, there are 20 living in the same house, (cousins, aunts, nephews) a big family, which in not uncommon here. The couple that we are focusing on just had a little baby. They are super nice and are excited about learning more but we will see what happens. I love you a bunch times a bunch.
Love Elder ...
