Well It's Hot

 12-21-13

Hi everyone,  how are the Christmas preparations going?  Life is all sunshine and butterflies here in Osorno.  It finally did decide to get hot.  I mean really hot.  The other day when we got home we went up stairs and looked at a thermometer and it said that it was 94º.  We don't sleep up there anymore.  We take our mattresses downstairs to sleep.  much more pleasant. Another way we fight the heat is by eating ice cream.  Here in Chile there is a little store that sells ice cream on every block.  I think we have almost tried them all.  On average i think we eat 4 Popsicles a day.  Some days we treat our selves to these drum stick looking thing called a Danky.  They are delicious.

Well this week has been busy.  Today i went to the foot doctor,(I had an ingrown toenail)  played basketball (I am terrible at basketball), and ate sopaipias (they were massive! Probably 1 foot long, and they only cost 200 pesos, which is only like 40 cents).  The day before we had an activity as a zone.  What we did was we all got our Santa hats on and we went to go sing in the plaza.  It was fun, lots of people stopped to listen to us. Then we had an activity right after in the stake center.  Silvina came!  this is the first time that she has gone to anything with us.  So that's awesome.  

On Thursday we had an English class with Silvina, she speaks well.  Then we bought a ton of fruit that we immediately ate.  I think i ate about two pounds of cherries.  Bad poops.  bad idea.  

I cant really remember what we did in the begging of the week and i forgot my agenda at home so i guess that is all.  I walked 38.7 miles this week.  And i ate almost 25 ice cream bars.  Life of a missionary.  Love you guys a ton.  and i cant wait to talk to you.  Going to be awesome. 

Love,
