"Como estais familia ???!!! Cuz I am doing great. I am officially in Chile. Kind of nuts right? By the way the keyboards down here are different. Took me like five minutes to find the at sign because apparently you have to press something other than shift, who knew? Hahaha google spell check is telling me I am spelling everything wrong. Silly computer, I speak english. Oh yeah so when I called you guys and the phone cut out, did Sally say Katie is planing on going to BYU-I?? A WHAAAA well if you do Katie, you have got Sally to protect you so I am ok with that. So when are you going up to school Sally ? Did you get that all figured out ? Keep an eye out for Katie ok? She´s not allowed to go to any crazy dances -just so you know.
Oh yeah I can talk to anyone now through email, rule though is that I can only send one, so feel free to email me and I will respond to you on my big email home. Oh yeah and p-days are Mondays now.
Hmm I should probably finish the story of how I got here. So after we hung up abruptly haha we sat by our terminal and all the Latin elders and hermanas showed up and we all hung out in the terminal together -they were all super nice.The flight to Osorno and I sat next to Elder Nelson. I got so many good pics of people passed out hahahahaha Elder Jensen and Jones were some of them SOOOOO funny. Well I landed in Osorno and my stuff still hadn´t gotten there but we were greeted by President Rappleye and he helped sort it out. In Chile you shake hands by shaking giving a hug and shaking hands again. It´s pretty chill. So we got to the Mission Home and sat down and ate food with everyone. Then my bags arrived as if by magic which was so sweet because I had been traveling for over two days without a shower. SO I stank, I had to reapply deoderant in the Airport. Anywho so we meet everyone get a devotional and got some rain gear and other stuff. Then dinner. And here hot dogs are called completos because they go all out with them. Guac tomatoes cheese lettuce and condiments all over their hot dogs and the bread here is bomb. So good. So then we went to a hotel for the night and the whole time I thought there was a little earthquake going on cuz I kept losing my balance some other elders felt it too but no earthquake. Me and Elder wood were gonna be room mates (3 to a room) and someone else but all the latinos grouped up so I went with Elder moreno and vasquez. Good thing too cuz we got the biggest room and Elder woods room had stains on some of the sheets. Anywho so the next day we meet our companions and I got a boss for a companion. Literally. His name is Bosse hahahaha but he is a jefe. He´s from evada been out for a year and is just a really great elder. So we all get acquainted and eat some completos. OH !!! Chileans don´t eat dinner !!!! Crazy right ! so the big meal of the day is lunch.

YOU GUYS !!!!!!!!! :))))) I LIVE IN
THE GHETTO !!!! IT´S SO SICK !!! I like literally live in the ghetto. I
walked into our house ad just started smiling like BAHAHAHA I am living
i the ghetto. SO sick. So our bathroom is
nasty we ran out of fire wood and so our house is freezing all the time.
It´s dirty too. Bathroom at least and mom. You would be so grossed out
. Maybe that´s why I was smiling so much because I know how you always
talk about my bathroom being dirty. Well I will have to send pictures
so you can laugh too :) this place is so SICK though. I love it ! And
the people here are so nice (for the majority of them) ESPECIALLY the
members. All of them are soooo nice. They always want to feed us and go
out with us to teach. So much support. Oh and I have a mamita. A
member of the ward who cooks lunch for us everyday. She is the bishops
wife and she is super sweet and I love her. Oh and we don't do our own
laundry either. It´s like this area is stuck in the 50´s too cuz the
wives wait on the men . Makes me uncomfortable to be waited on and stuff
cuz my wife ;) is gonna be waited on. But anywho so Sister espinosa
washed our clothes this week and she is so SWEET
! These people are literally amazing you guys. If you can you need to
come down here to pick me up and meet them in two years. They are sooooo
sweet. And they feed us well, we eat with mamita everyday other than Saturday and Sunday. Oh and the food here is sooo good too. A lot of
bread , and an egg flour soup kind of thing, and yesterday we had a
really good lasagna.
Anywho really great food really loving people and really great support. So excited to be here! I hope all is well with you guys I have to go in like 2 but I love you guys and I am praying for all of you always. if you ever get the chance please send me some regular thermal underwear I underestimated the cold. Well remember to read your scriptures, pray, and go to church guys . The church is true so follow its teachings if you want to be happy. K gotta bounce, p.s. I live in the GHETTO !!!!!! Katie I got your letter -your funny
