This was taken on the bus on the way to clean the roads in Limache. It was a lot of fun and very dirty. We stopped at a little store before we started and got little baggies to try and use for gloves. It didn't really work, but it kept me from directly touching the most discusting stuff.
This picture was taken at the early morning devotional. It was supposed to start at 6 AM, but I am in South America, so it started at about 7. ha ha

I just got back from a church single adult conference. I had so much fun and met so many new people. We went to Llui-llui in Limache. It is a little less than an hour from Vina. There were about 150 single people there from this region of Chile. Every night there was a themed dance. Chileans love to dance. The first night was a Hawaiian themed dance and the second day it was a white dance where everybody wore white. It is a little wierd because at the church dances everybody just dances with the same person all night. That gets boring!! It was really fun to learn some of the dances that are Chilean versions of songs like the "Chicken Dance" and "YMCA" where the actions are funny and wild (and easy to learn :)). At the camp there was a pool and the first day we all did water arobics. I have never had that much fun at water arobics! All the girls AND the boys were just going to town dancing in the water. At one point we did relay races and my partner and I won almost every time. I think that had something to do with the fact that we were on the shallow end and could just run while everybody else had to swim, but hey, a win is a win. Before we left the church to head to the camp site my bishop introduced me to this girl from my stake. Her name is Daniela and she is amazing! I can't believe how much pacience she had with me. Even when I couldn't get my point across in spanish she would just listen and prompt me along until I got it right. She stuck by me and make sure that I didn't get lost and made sure that I knew what I was doing. The only bad part was that we both thought that the same guy was cute. hehe. I have her phone number and I am hoping that we will get to hang out a lot. I am so glad that the bishop introduced us. Limache is really pretty. It was really close to the mountains and reminded me of home a lot. I can't wait to go home and go camping with the family again. I am sad that there is no Monte Cristo this year but Yellowstone will be awesome!!
