  Hello everyone,  After surviving my crazy fevers of last Sunday, I thought I was in the clear to have a normal, chill week... but Tuesday morning I woke up having COMPLETELY lost my voice... and a little later starts the congestion and basically by noon our mission presidents wife told us we needed to go to the doctor to see what's up. Well, in order to do that we need a form from the office people. She said they'd send it over within a half hour. Ok cool, so we call a member and she's like,  ok so where is the clinic?  -Uhhh in Iquique.  -but which one?  -we don't know yet??  -hmm well when do you guys want to go?  -as soon as we get this thing from the office elders -and when will that be?  -soon?? We don't know when  -you guys don't know anything! Call me back when you have all the info.  And she hung up.  And you guys. I kid you not. It took like 3 hours to get the thing from the office elders   so when we get all the information from the elders, we call h

Recent convert taught  some lessons with us!   Happy P Dayyyyy!!!  There might be actual freaking fleas in my bed    and I almost DIED... more on this in a second.  Last P day I taught more Latinos how to make smores (lol) they LOVED them.  On Wednesday I made two big pans of banana bread which disappeared in like 4 seconds.

So, this one dog comes and umm... peed on my comp   on her leg... and she didn't notice until she felt something very warm on her leg   we were all dying from laughter. And the guy we were teaching was like, uh ill go get you some water to clean your leg with. And then we had to keep working for like 3 more

  Buenos días!! It's as marlee always said, I send the email first thing in the morning or at the end of the night and there's no in between haha. Today's a morning day   There are three things in Alto Hospicio that basically describe the whole City.... we've got dogs, dirt, and traffic. It was a little bit of a shock to the system to go from the greenest, most beautiful part of the mission to the dirtiest ugliest part, but that's where we should try not to judge a book by its cover! Because the people here are golden.  Something I've noticed is that the members here are amazing! They are really involved in the work and really willing to sacrifice and make time to help us.  The thing about Hospicio is that... there's not a lot to do here. Like I said, dirt, dogs, traffic. So, in order to entertain myself I've been baking and cooking, like all the time. I made brownies three times, peanut butter ball healthy snacks, fruit smoothies, grilled cheese, raspbe
