Hi family,
Well this has been a hard week for the both of us. More for Dad
than I. With months end, he has so much to do and still learning. We both struggle with trying to do remember all we need to do from day to day. I have some hard days also though and we have to make dozens of calls to figure things out. I haven't felt well this week either, coming down with a cold, and so that doesn't help my memory when one
doesn't feel well. We did have fun on Saturday, we got to go out to a
small town called Talagante and celebrate with the ward members as they celebrated this month's independence celebrations. We had great food and different wards demonstrated the different dances from different parts of Chile. It was fun to watch. The little kids were amazing to watch. The colorful dress is amazing also. I will attach a few
pictures. An office couple that we work with was dancing with them.
Part of their assignment is to serve out in Talagante (small town about 35 miles west).
We went out on Friday night with the Seniors and went to a fun little cafe type restrauant and had dinner. They are fun to be with. Everyone had empanadas but us. We are tired of them, and don't really like them. We just had a sandwich of chicken and avocados (platos aqui).
Not much to write about this week. Mostly just office work. Which is good, cause that is what we were called to do...
enjoy the pictures!\
Miss everyone, would love to hear from the grandkids... Hopefully we will get internet soon and have instant messanger as well...
\Love mom and dad...
