SNOW IN SANTIAGO!!

July 19, 2017

Dear Family,

This week was pretty cool! It DID snow which wasn't THAT interesting, however, all of Santiago was going crazy. Even the trees were falling down because of the snow! We lost power for the day and they turned on the lights when we were doing to bed so that was cool. BUT THEN it turned off in the middle of the night! I would have been really warm but I didn't layer up cause I had my electric blanket! That was a jerk move from the power plant! 

Also, we have 3 people that might get baptized in early August! Two of them are the parents of a recent convert who's REALLY awesome! Her name's Quenne (pronounced Queeny) and she got baptized right before I arrived. She's also about to give birth to her second child in 4 weeks. Until then, she's the Gospel Principals Teacher! Her parents have a baptismal date for the 6th of August and are really cool! The mom's (Sol) kinda hippy and has that knitted dredd (like Kyle Beckerman) all the way down to her feet. The dad (Fernando) is also pretty cool and they both love the missionaries. We've only taught them a few times, but they're really receptive and want to get baptized, so things are good! Tonight we're going to do a FHE (Family Home Evening) in their house and they're making Sushi! 😁🍣

Today for P-day, a bunch of Argentines decided to throw an "Argentine P-day" and since my companion's Argentine, we went. It was pretty cool. In case you haven't seen a bunch of Argentines get together just imagine a bunch of Italians all yelling at each other and occasionally laughing, but in Spanish. 

Imma cut it short and upload some photos, Have a great week!
