feliz halloween! In Chile, Halloween is a holiday but actually its more of just an excuse to take the day off. Almost nothing is open, just a creepy old internet cafe. Hahaha!
So anyways, Temuco is AWESOME. Oh my gosh its so so pretty. It reminds me a lot of California! Its like this huge city with lots of Palm Trees and lots of big tall buildings. I like it a lot! Its super pretty. Its a WHOLE LOT bigger than Los Angeles, but smaller than Concepcion. I like it, I think I'll stay here for awhile.
My companion is the CUTEST. Her name is Hermana Loor, and she's from Ecuador! As I got off the bus she ran up to me and said, "don't worry, I speak English." anddddd its true. She does. She speaks English PERFECTLY. Like probably better than I speak English. I told her that she needs to help me with my Spanish, to correct me every time I make a mistake so that it can get better, and well shoot I guess I make a lot of mistakesbut its okay because my spanish is getting better and better. Yay for Latinas!
Our area is huge huge huge and sooooooooooo rich. Its kinda intimidating. The houses are like mansions and these families have like three cars each. Its a little different than Los Angeles, and it makes it hard to contact people and to schedule appointments because EVERYONE WORKS. But its fine, I really like it here and I know there are miracles just waiting for us.
This week we had a funny contact in the street! We walked up to this man and said, "hi we're missionaries! can we give you a photo of Jesus?" and he said "well, it depends, let me see it..." uhhh... So we hand him this card of when Jesus came to the Americas, and he says,"look I'm not going to accept this because Jesus was NOT BLONDE." and then stormed off... we laughed for a good half hour. how do you know Jesus wasn't blonde? funny people.
I don't have a lot to write today... this week was a little slow. But, this weeks going to be better. I feel it.
my poor companion has had some really bad knee problems these past couple of days! We are going to see a doctor today so hopefully everything will work out but I'm a little nervous..
buttttt thats about all I got. Hope you all enjoy your halloween!
love you!
love hermana kate
