We can't believe that we have been here almost three months. It seems like just yesterday we got off the plane. Up to this point, this experience has felt like a blur, but it has been a blur of great memories. We're going to try to recap whats been going on lately with us. One big thing coming up is that we are going to Argentina at the beginning of next week for two days. Our tourist visas are only for 90 days and we could stand in line downtown and pay $100 each to get them renewed, or we can leave the country and reenter it to get a new tourist visa. We figured we might as well put $200 towards a fun trip to Argentina (the bus tickets and hotel cost less than $200) because we won't spend that much more. We are really excited to go to another country, but I think we are most excited about the steak. They say that Argentina has the best steak, so our goal is to eat as much steak as possible in two days. The bus ride back might not be as fun, but it should be worth it haha.
Another thing that we have been doing for about a month now is volunteering in a school to help kids practice their English. We work with a pre-school class, a 10th grade class, and an 11th grade class. I'm pretty sure that some of the kids are smarter than we are and are helping us with our English haha. We came up with our own Jeopardy game to play with some of the older kids and we felt like we had come up with some pretty tough questions about history, sports, movies, etc.. but they pretty much got every question right without even hesitating. The kids are very smart and we really enjoy working with them. We also told one of them that we would mention him in our blog because he has been reading some of it. So here you go Diego. You are now world famous because we mentioned you to the millions of (19) followers on our blog haha.
Ashley's makeup conferences have been going great. She has done several so far and still has a ton of makeup left which is good because I think she is doing 6 more before we leave. They are really cool becuase she does everyone's makeup and gives them some tips, but then she spends time talking about being beautiful on the inside and where true beauty comes from. It has been a huge hit with every group she has worked with. They all love it and we are still getting requests for her to do more. Well that is all we have for now. We miss you all and we really appreciate your prayers and encouragement.
Blessings,
Ashley and Zach

Thanks Zach and Ashley! It's so good to know you're having fun here... we Chileans don't realize we have so much stuff to do in here and never take advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy working with you too :D We have been commenting tha so far we've never had people like you guys: you're fun, we have lots to talk about with you... I'm having a great experience (I actually get really excited when I have the chance to practice my english).
Well, that's about it. Thanks so much for mentioning me :D, I like your blog/journal. It's actually 8:30 in the morning (i'm up just because of the excitement for today in the afternoon). I'm sure you'll enjoy the Café Concert.
