Bueno, no tengo mucho a decir

I can´t even believe another week has already flown by. Pobrecita Lindsey, its just days ticking down now. haha 

Well, we had our international food activity this week, Its interesting, but i realized we really do have a mixture of everything in the US, all the food they made is food that they marvelled at and i´m all, my mom makes that too! hehe, and that´s what makes the US great. un mezcla de todo.  They love to make fun of the US and our ¨typical food¨ they all laughed when the stand for the US presented hot dogs and hambergers but within 30 seconds (no joke)  all the food in the stand for US was gone, they secretely do love us. :)

Miracle of the week, So the first day i arrived in Coyhaique we went to visit a family that lives on the border of the town, next to the start of rolling green fields.  But, there are a few more houses before the country.  So ever since the first day i had the strongest urge to go knock on doors in those few houses, i thought it was just cuz i wanted to get closer to the view of the country, so this week finally i told my companion i wanted to knock on those doors, so we start walking to those houses and we see a lady weeding her garden (side note: did you know that dandelions are flowers here and the people actually love them? weeds? i think not! i like that idea, i´m never pulling dandelions out of our garden again)    anyway, so we see this lady and we both felt to walk over and talk to her, so we begin talking and present ourselves as missionaries, and she´s all ¨yeah i know, my daughter is on a mission in colombia¨  and we´re all ¨oh how cool, for what church, jehovas witness, catholic...¨ and she´s all no, for your church, the mormon church.   we were shocked cuz the ward told us a missionary hasn´t left from this sector in 15 years.  so we talked more with her and it turns out that her daughter left from her ward where she was studying, but returns in december, and her dad and little sister aren´t members.   we returned teh other day and met the dad, he´s super receptive and said himself he´s not sure why he hasn´t been baptized yet!!! 
wow, k, there was definitely a reason we felt so strongly to walk over to that sector and that we found this family.  they´re ready to be baptized.  that´ll be our gift to their daughter in Colombia, we´re gonna baptize her family before she gets back :)

whelp, i love you all tons!
