Hola Mis Amigos

We left for the airport early in the morning. The Lord definitely took care of us and made sure we were there in time for our departure (didn't He Ryan? ;) ) We got there nice and early and we patiently awaited our flight.



When we got to Chile we had a great time meeting the old Mission President and his wife the Moran's and the AP Missionaries. THEY ARE GREAT MISSIONARIES. THEY WORK SO HARD. We love them already.


When we got there President Moran took us to this look out place to see all of the Santiago Chile East Mission. It was beautiful. Chile is a great place. Ryan keeps saying that it is a mix between Brazil (all the good parts) and the United States. He was also happy to confirm that the milk is sold in boxes in Chile as well as in Brazil just as he predicted it would. It has been a magnificent experience so far, full of miracles and TONS of blessings.


In the first three days of their mission my parents (and all of us) met every single missionary, and so many people here in Chile who are helping the work to go forward. We love missionary work.

After we saw the mission, the Morans departed and we got to explore the house.
It is a beautiful house, older, but very nice for their 3 year stay. Here it is:


Here is Landon, Presidente and Hermana Laycock inside the front door:

Here is our first meal in Chile, my parents have an Hermana that works in their house and helps with certain things around the house, her name is Juanita. She had this prepared for us our first day. (WE WERE RUNNING FROM ONE THING TO THE NEXT, AND MY PARENTS DID NOT HAVE ONE MINUTE TO REST).

  2. Oh how I LOVE this post!! I find myself peering into my computer screen at all the corners of the pictures, trying to see even more of the house! I'm SO glad you guys are there. What a wonderful thing. And you leave tomorrow. I'm so excited for you to go to Brazil but I'm sad for you to be saying goodbye. Give everyone big hugs for me and enjoy Brazil!! Can't wait to hear all about it.
