1. Cooking spree! Tracey and I both enjoy cooking, and are usually successful at it, but we are definitely recipe followers! This week I took a U.S. recipe, converted the measurements into metric, realized we don’t even have measuring cups etc. here, also realized Chileans don’t use brown sugar, OR temperature gauges on the oven :) It was only by the grace of God (literally) that we were able to share some delicious cookies with our students and family.
2. Healthy food is cheeeeaaaappp!!!!!!! Both sides of the table = same price.
3. The unity of IAM and the incredible people that we work with. Wednesday night we had a Team dinner at Diego’s house- It’s hard to describe the amount of gratitude we feel for our teammates and our shared vision. More to come on this later.
4. Walking to the grocery store! We seriously love not having a car.
5. Learning more and more what it is to truly live in community.
6. Quoting “Friends” around the table. Not only did I discover that Fabián shares my same love for the series, but he actually OWNS all 10 seasons. AMAZING!!!!
7. A meal without bread!
8. Getting to attend Institute classes. This month’s topic = spiritual warfare.
9. Date night with Tracey. This week we went to this cute little pizzeria and then walked to the grocery store for fruit snacks :) This pic is from our first Chilean date - Gracias a Chile for loving sushi as much as we do!
10. Saturday night we had some dancing lessons after Jon and Marcela’s engagement party. (Next Sunday is Independence Day and apparently we are going to start celebrating and dancing Cueca from Thursday on!) Thanks to our fabulous instructor, Claudio, we were well prepared to show off our new skills when we were pulled up on stage at church Sunday morning :)
11. An entire living room full of Chilenos learning the Cupid Shuffle.
12. Learning and teaching new card games all afternoon Sunday.
13. Anticipating a week’s worth of celebrating (and a LOT of meat we hear :) to come!
