Hi, its me again! Thanks for coming back to read...even though it has been a while since I've posted! I guess I could blame it on getting a schedule back together, the general business of life, vacation hangover, or just plain laziness....but let's just say that the fact that you're reading this means you've already forgiven me and so let's get down to business. Here are a few things that have been going on in my version of the southern hemisphere: thing one.School has started! We marched back into the Longaví schools on March 7th...more specifics on that next week! thing two.We had a garage sale at church...sort of. Read about it HERE. thing three.3) We decided last weekend to take a trip to somewhere the doggies could run and play freely...so we went camping...just a few kilometers from the Chile/Argentina border...on a volcano. HERE you can see Jon's breathtaking pictures and Elise's lovely ability to tell a story. DON'T miss the epic video at the end. thing four.Fall. Fall happened. And, as if he knew I was having troubles rearranging seasons & months in my head, my friend Facebook helped to remind me what season it was. It was also helpful during a vocabulary review with 5th grade to practice: "Fall: March, April, May / Winter: June, July, August"...now I just have to work on internalizing it. #lifeinthesouthernhemisphere thing five.My puppy had a 'sterilization' surgery at the end of February and is recovering well. I think she was upset with me for a few hours, but we talked it through and soon her snuggles resumed.
She knows {"Sit" / "Lay down" / "Venga" (Come in Spanish) / "No (No in Spanish)"}. Technically I don't believe this makes her bilingual, just confused. She continues to be adorable and snuggly and I recently learned that she is a mini-puma, born to climb mountains.

I haven't written for a while because...I HAVE BEEN ON VACATION! But, now it is back to business (slowly but surely) since the new school year starts again next week! At the beginning of the month my sister Beth and cousin Lisa came to visit. They didn't have much time here, so we did a few quick stops at a variety of places in central and northern Chile. When I dropped them off at the airport, I also hopped on a plane, up to northern Chile and spent some time with a Chilean family I have gotten to know. I will get some pictures uploaded soon, but for now I will leave you with this lovely guest blog post by my cousin Lisa, because, well, honestly, I am going to the beach today. #notashamedofmylaziness #lastdaysofsummer How To Fall In Love With Chile 101 |

(Which will also fill you in on a few more details...because I know you are curious about those giant swans...)
Laura, our coordinator from Kingdom Workers, was able to visit us here in Chile! The week was full of meetings, get-togethers, and a beautiful drive to see horse-hair crafts and the mountains. It was great to get to know each other better and there were some great opportunities to meet with leaders and teachers in Longaví and discuss the future of the English Teacher Assistant Program.

Our next visitors from the States will be Jon & Elise’s relatives at Christmas time…and then in February my sister Beth and my cousin Lisa! And you, when are you planning your chance to visit us?? Here are a few slideshows of some November adventures to entice you... P.S. Jon got a Go-Pro camera...I have a feeling many exciting things will be happening soon with it!
