Chile Day 12

Today I went with the family when they went to school. When I got back I went with Mrs. Fought to go and clean a room for someone nicknames the “Kiwis” who were coming in from New Zealand. After that I joined the guys and worked some more. After lunch we went to go and pick up them at school. When we came back we played a small game of soccer with the Colombians and other people that usually don't play soccer. After dinner they have a weekly family meeting for everyone on the base. At the meeting there was lots of food and bread which is a plus.

Chile Day 10

Today went smoothly. I went the the Foughts to drop them off at school. Then I went on to go to Jack's to do some computer work for him. After that we went back home for lunch and to get Rhyan. After lunch we went to go do some shopping before picking up the rest from school. We got to the school and played for a while then we went back home. We played soccer again from 6-8. I also had a nice conversation with my family back home via skype tonight.

Chile Day 5:

Well today was a lazy day. Everyone as recovering from last night. I worked again today planting some bushes and mowing. After working most of the day the guys went out to play a game of soccer from 6-8PM. This is no ordinary soccer game. the losing team is allowed to get physical with their opponent and shove and trip a little bit. I came out of the game with a banged up elbow.

Chile Day 3

Well tomorrow the Mission that I am staying at is celebrating "Dieciocho de Septiembre". That day is their independence day. They celebrate all week long. Today I worked with 2 girls from Colombia, one boy from Mexico, and 6 people from Chile. We setup a structure to have the event in. On the sides we places large branches of some local evergreen trees. We also set up some tables and put up some decorations. That took most of the day. In the evening from like 5-8 we played a epic game of soccer. We played on a soccer field/cow pasture. So as you can guess we well stepped in it and the ball went in it a lot.

Chile Day 2: School

Well today I went to the School that the family I am staying with. I sat in their Government class. After that I went to one of the teachers apartments and played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. During lunch we all played soccer. After school we played some more soccer. At the school  I had a small conversation with someone who only spoke Spanish. It was not extremely hared because he spoke nice and slow. We also went to a Chilean version of Wal-mart. I am able to tell for the most part what the stuff is by some of the words and items.
