Happy Chile

Well being with a mexican companion is helping me understand the true definition of chile... which is spicy. They literally eat everything spicy.. Remember when we went to california and we bought some fruit in a cup from a mexican guy that was on the side of the road with his shopping cart? And then he grabbed out like a salt shaker and started throwing some sort of red powder on the pineapple? Yeah that is because they put chili on everything. So this week my companion bought pineapple ice cream... and we eat it with this sweet chili sauce that he brought from mexico... haha 

But we have done other things this week besides eat obviously. Lets see here.. Saturday night we did all the changes and monday night a group from the mexico MTC arrived. Early in the morning on Tuesday the missionaries from the Chile MTC also arrived and we ate breakfast with them in the chapel. President assigned them their trainers and they headed off to their sectors early so that they could enjoy 18.

18 is obviously a pretty big celebration in chile it is like the 4th of July and everyone always does barbeques and just chills our all day. There is also a big tradition of dancing a dance that is called the Cueca... it is pretty funny you will have to search it on youtube. 

Since it was 18 it was kind of hard to get our people to church because everyone went out of town but the good thing is that everyone is already coming back!

I hope this is a good week for everyone!!
