It's Chilly in Chile....

I made it!.....well about a couple of days ago.  I'm currently sitting on my bed where i will be staying until tuesday morning. it rained so hard the day we came into santiago.  I'm sad that i wasn't more prepared for this weather. its been sunny and in the 60s the last couple of days...which feels amazing! (shout out to garrett :)...... i have a top bunk in a room of 4 other girls. one of them being my teammate in la Serrena. i had about 2 hours of sleep on the plane because of turbulence. so everyone was exhausted the first day. We explored the city today which was amazing! Note: cappuccinos are amazing here, they can grow a mean beard and i learned a new word: vecina (neighbor). we had lunch today at a Chilean restaurant in the middle of town. i had cazeula o ave (chicken soup). it had a whole chicken (bones and all) a half a potato and vegetables. There are about 12 of us all here going through training: 7 in chile (all girls and one married couple), 3 in brazil (2 boys 1 girl), and 2 in mexico both girls. they are all really grand. They are ALL from the south....and i said "ya'll today"...pray for me. hahhha :) i miss everyone so much! sorry it's been a couple of days but i've been so busy! i need to upload some pictures as well. there are mountains covered in snow right outside the kitchen window. It is amazing! 
Pray for:
health, heat, language barriers, and focus.
