God is Good
Well, it has definitely been an eventful first couple of days. My first day here some of TJ's (the son) friends came over to plan their senior trip and afterwards we all went over to the Morsey's church and went swimming. He goes to a missionary school so they all speak english and are all from the states which was really nice for me. It was really crazy however to go from wearing coat and genes the day before and then to be in a swimsuit soaking up the sun. It was AWESOME! His friends were all really nice and fun to hang around too. God has definitely answered my prayers about the family. I have not found it difficult to fit in at all and am getting along really well with them actually. They are a really wonderful family but I was a little worried that it would be awkward with TJ but it totally isn't and we get along great. Yesterday was soooo busy and full...we left in the morning and took the Metro to downtown Santiago where we met up with another missionary family that is here and walked around the city all morning and afternoon. It was soooo cool to see another part of the world and the different cultures again and stuff like that. They have some really cool older looking buildings in the city that are really awesome. While there we climbed this little mountain/large hill that once you reach the top you can see all of the city...it was really cool. So after that we came home for a bit of a power nap and then headed off to the Mitchel's house, the same missionary family that we were just with for dinner and games. That was SOOOOO much fun. They have 2 sons, one TJ's age and one 2 years younger but just as fun, and then they had their neice staying with them for a couple of weeks and she is in her 20's. So yea that was a blast and by the end of it my stomach hurt from laughing so much. I am so thankful to God for how great He is and how faithful He always is. Tonight we will go to another B-B-Q with another 3 families but these ones are actually from Chile so it will be interesting to see how this all works out. I think some of the kids speak english but not the parents. Anyways, thanks for the comments they are ALWAYS grealty appreciated!!! Hugs and Kisses to all!!!

Hey Jenners!
Praise God for His care and working out the details of your trip! There are a few of us here at our house watching the SuperBowl. Frank just gave Kat a heartattack by yelling for the NY Giants. Grandma Sharron, Vicki, Chrissy, AJ, Kat, Jenni, and Frank all say "hi!". We all miss you but are thankful God is providing for your every need...even giving you some sunshine & warm weather! I agree with James - I am TIRED of the colder weather. Even Ranger is shaking and whimpering all the time unless he is in the house!
Love you & miss you!
