Bienvenidos!

Hola from a ¨siempre¨ sunny Santiago, Chile!

I haven´t posted anthing in over a month, for this, I apologize.

The month of December is busy for most people, I believe. I had a couple extra things to keep me occupied this year.

One of them being this trip. Two months in Chile working at a Word of Life Summer Camp. The camp is on the side of a mountain in Santiago, the capital city (which is in South America, not Africa an they speak Spanish) I will have the internet on the weekends so I hope to update often.


This summer I find myself with a bit more free time than last summer. Last summer I was always running somewhere. This summer I am writing and reading and taking naps. I can´t complain but I wish that I could be of more help somehow.

I am moving to a different room again, only the 4th time since I arrived a week ago. While moving down in the subterrano (basement) of my cabin I stepped over a black thing on the floor. On my way back out I stopped to take closer look at the ¨thing¨. It was dead, slightly crumpled. It´s tail which would normally curl up a bit was flat making it´s length about two and half inches long. I looked and looked and yes... it was as I feared, a scorpion. There is dead scorpion in my oom. It was once alive. There was a live scorpion in my room! Ah!!!

Later on today I will cover a giant circular metal structure with fabric to make a globe. Then I will make costumes typical of other countries. Fun junk' eh!

Love to all!
