Weeks 12 & 13

we ate "once" with marcias family! every single day people eat bread and a little dessert and sometimes we just happen upon the right time and get a little snack in the night time. its like 5 or 6 oclock and its a very serious thing. haha. me and anastasia are playing jenga and building towers. 

hma yanet ivonne and my sticks!

me, josue, and hma cardona 

the engagement shot

this was the most super windiest day we have had in all of our lives here. no clue what that was about

our little friend we found in the bathroom. my companions are humanitarions so the nasty spider lived and disappeared somewhere into our house. haha how fun

i found a new house to live in! joke, but i really am tall here. thanks for the height genes!

this slide i had no idea even was at the lake. but it was fun to play on it!

sorry these are all very one themed. i will try to do better! 

Week 11

 this is dinner. i hope your stomachs feel hungry for me. 

haha our kitchen cracks me up. we are looking for a new house because our walls are paper thin and we can hear our neighbors breathe. maybe that will happen

Week 10

 i obviously only take pics on pdays. haha

ok this is the liahona magazine. tell me that guy does not look like bishop cook. is it his brother? someone ask him. haha

Week 9

 a volcano that is really near our town. kinda cool!

 this is our house. yeah, that tiny little guy in the back corner. we live very humbly. the people who live next door to us can hear our every thought or word we speak. 

 and this is a lot of what my hair does on a daily basis.

 the centre of osorno! i really should take more pics ;)

 on the bus!! we have an hour bus ride to osorno and back every once in awhile. 

the sky is beautiful here all the time

Week 8 (First Week in Chile!)

 me and the rappleyes (mission presidents from twin falls!)

 me and maria at family home evening

 hma cardona wrote out our chore list. my favorite is the kitchen (chiken) hahaha

 our teeny tiny house

 this is my head. touching the kitchen ceiling

the lake right by our house. we live in entre lagos (between lakes)

 the lake!

 bienvinidos!

someone let aunt bonnie know she is a famous skirt designer

 they have really cool juice here

 finding our area!

i found hermana moffat at the airport!!! she was in my district and we left on the same morning. her plane to texas was right by mine to los angeles! it was very exciting.

oh, when we got to chile, (after like 32 hours of traveling) they made us take visa pictures! so mine looks like i am like homeless. it is very sad to look at. haha that is me at the airport with less than a clean appearance. 

Week 6

 we love our mission shirts. hermana moffat and i wear our shirts and walk together and love to see people's faces as they read Chile and Texas and they see similar flags. haha tricks.

 I promise i do wear church clothes here but i only have my camera with me when i am wearing my pajamas! hermana mcnoche is going to poky and we love idaho!!

our last day with hermana ayala! she is the little guatemalan twin and we all cried when she taught us for the last time yesterday. (not really, but emotions run high around here so dont be surprised)

here are both the hermana ayalas (both on their tip tip tip toes. haha they are short)

i looooove packages! sorry for my awkward here i am on the floor pose, but when you get an exciting package like brownies, you just dont stand with those

 

hermana moffats camera has a feature that when the camera recognizes a face it will start to take the picture and so that was me trying to find the face that would make it go. i think it looks great.

 

and me and hma moffat really take a lot of pictures together. you're lucky i held back this time. 

 Dont worry, i wear the same clothes every pday. but it doesnt count because no one remembers what you look like from day to day. 

 our last day at the temple!! this is with our old zone, but the 2 sisters in our zone live with these sisters so we like them. hma north's parents flew in from cali today and surprised her by showing up at our session this morning! her dad paid for our breakfast and we were all jealous we didnt have parents. 

hma moffat's mom is a teacher so she made us this poster! it has all our names and missions on it! so cute! also, notice the christmas lights hanging on our board. they wrap around the whole room and we always have them on and people walk by and are jealous. hma camacho bought them for us because they make us all happy

 our mission door. we close our door all the time and many many people have opened it, popped their heads in and said who is going to such and such place...and they always creep on us that way

 how cool are these statues?? we walk past them every day and today i finally have my camera with me. 

and this last pic is from the in field orientation. we were on the front row because elder wilson is 6'4 and he complains about leg room all the time so we try to appease him. not a single other person sat on our row and we thought it was really funny
