I don't know what day it is

So the days are blurring together right now. This week has been spent training with all the students who will be working in South America. We have been in and out of a conference room (unheated cinderblock building) all week and it is hard to keep the days straight. We have ventured out into the city just about everyday and it turns out that Santiago is huge. There are thirty two sections of the city and it is hard to keep them all straight. Training has been long but it has been really helpful. I would not have wanted to go into the semester without first going through this training. It will be over on Monday and then we will begin working on Tuesday. It has been really cool to interact with the Chilean people during our ventures into the city. They are very friendly and are more than willing to start up a random conversation. I am definitely looking forward to learning their culture and building relationships with them. Anyway I'm about to go for a late night jog with my new buddy Sean and he wants me to stop blogging so Ashley will take over from here.

So I love all the juices here! Pineapple and mango are my fav. I'm very tired right now (surprise to everyone I'm sure). I have one thing for yall tonight. So I have been praying that I would make a friend and I think I did. Pray that we get to meet again and we can actually understand each other. Turns out that the people here dress nicer than anywhere I've been in America. They are seriously dressed to impress and are very driven people. I didn't bring enough dressy clothes, but hopefully I can work something out.

Thanks for those who read this. Hope it is a good thing. Once we get settled we will try to be more consistent. We love yall.
