A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Mason has really came out of his shell and is now a social fella. So, he comes to me and says, “Hey mom, the teens want me to go to Centro with them tonight. Can I go?” They often go with Liandro and the interns so... Continue Reading →

Well, Fall English camp is in the books. The boys left us Thursday for camp. They had an amazing time. The staff always does a great job. Tucker was always upfront in the mix. They learned about having rooted faith. I love when Mason loosens up and has fun. Mason and Tuck were on different... Continue Reading →

We were so excited when Papaw and Nana came for a visit. They were on a mission trip to Bolivia and decided to come visit us before heading home. The great thing is we got to spend time with them. The bad thing is, since we were just enjoying them being here, I didn’t stop... Continue Reading →

Most of the gifts were delivered to families in a rural location in... Continue Reading →

The day we returned home, I headed to the lab to pick up my test results (benign, yay) and then over to the doctor’s office to get my stitches removed. We came home to rain and more leaks in the roof. The owner hired a man to come fix the roof, so hopefully this won’t... Continue Reading →

Today’s adventure took us off the interstate and through several little towns like Puente Alto, above. Trev and I were happy to get out of the city and see more rural Chile. Cajón del Maipo is about two and a half hours from our apartment. Carol’s sister recommended this place and we were super excited.... Continue Reading →

Emily wasn’t feeling great the following day so she decided to chill at the apartment and we decided to hit a different beach. Today we headed to El Quisco and Islã Negra. But first we stopped for breakfast at this little coffee shop in Curacavi. The lady behind the counter was so sweet and spoke... Continue Reading →

It’s cool in the morning and evening and gets up to around 85-90 during the middle of the day but it’s not humid. After a previous day of walking, we decided to head out to... Continue Reading →
