IT IS SUMMER!!!! Oh my gosh, I love Chilean summer. No rain.
No wind. No Ozone layer (lots of sunburn). And apparently, no rules for locals when
it comes to street clothes.
Elder Watson and I keep laughing so hard every time we get a
package and it has hand warmers and hot chocolate because we are dying of heat
with all the windows open. Speaking of Elder Watson, I cannot say enough how
much I love him. Elder Holt and I got along so well and I miss him, but Elder
Watson and I are the same person. We have done nothing but have spiritual
lessons and laugh until our stomachs cramped and we turned blue. No like that
literally happened to Watson. We were laughing so hard.
Watson is very knowledgeable of Spanish and so I have
progressed very quickly. I have had a couple people ask me if I am from
Argentina and everyone thinks I have more than a year in the mission. #winning
Ramón and Jovita are progressing so quickly and are ready to
get dunked. I am so excited for them. Funny story of the day:
When I first got here, we went and visited Ramón and Jovita.
Jovita showed us these two huge salmon steaks and invited us to lunch. We
already had lunch planned so we had to decline but she said she would make
salmon for us some other time. Fast forward two and a half weeks when we are
eating salmon with them for lunch. Half way through eating it comes up that
these are the SAME SALMON she had showed us weeks before. Watson and I made eye
contact and slowed down on the salmon consumption.
To put it in kind words, we had a busy night. I woke up at
2:30 in the morning with one thought: ¨Oh No.¨ I had a “both ends” kind of
party, and when I woke up, Watson and I laughed so hard because each of us
thought we were the only one feeling it. We have been suffering from crazy fish
poisoning for three days.
Moral of the story: Chileans have strong stomachs. Eat
salmon when fresh. I am currently walking like a duck.
I love you all so much. I hope you are all ready for
Christmas because I am.
