My exciting news is that I just received an email from the University of Wyoming Police Department, and they found my bike today!! ... It was stolen in November. I am slightly excited!!!
Anyhow, Chile is great. I still am not sure how I did on my first test... Hopefully I will know by the end of the semester, but we'll see! I also gave a presentation in my translation class, which went well as far as I know. I don't know if I will ever get to see my grade for that one. The grading scale is 0-7 here, so I will try not to have a heart attack when I see such a low score. It's actually nice to have a tiny bit of school work to focus on.
Last weekend was nice. I spent a lot of time at beaches, as I showed in my pictures. I loved it! It was a nice mix of people that I enjoyed my Easter weekend with, including a skype with my parents, Greg, and his dad.
This Saturday night was great! Veronica asked her niece, Lulú, and I if we would make something just for fun one night. So Lulú made omelets Saturday (Veronica ended up taking over because the kitchen is her kingdom), but they were great. Jorge made us drinks (strawberry, coconut, and pisco-a Chilean rum), which were wonderful! We spent about three hours just talking (I mainly just listened), but it was really nice for me to have that time with my host family. I am going to make a simple dessert on Saturday in honor of Mother's Day because Veronica LOVES sweets... and I really don't want to attempt to make a difficult meal for several reasons... it is hard to find the same ingredients here, the oven doesn't have different temperature settings, and there are very few measuring devices in this house. I am going to have enough trouble with a simple dessert.
I skipped out on volunteering yesterday because after church service I was invited back for a lunch with the "foreigners." I am very glad I went! This time it was at a different house, but also incredibly beautiful! Of course, lunch was beyond delicious, I can't even begin to describe the desserts, and the conversation and company was spectacular!
Life is good! xoxo
