Waiting

So... I am officially moving to a new house. I will be with the family with two sons and am very excited. Not only do I think they will be a very fun family, but apparently they have a very big house. Florencia told me they have a big backyard with a pool and... a piano inside!!! Plus, the father heard that I was sad I couldn't go to church and said he is super excited to take me to mass with him on Sundays... should be interesting, but fun. I am hoping to move in tomorrow night, but I am not sure yet. Florencia was going to talk to Rossana for me yesterday, but Rossana went to Concepción to visit family. Hopefully Florencia will get to talk to her today, but I guess we will just have to wait and see. I will continue to keep you guys updated.

We had a party at Florencia's on Thursday night. There were tons of people, and it was very fun. We started around 8 and the party didn't end till 1:30. I stayed after to help clean up, and ended up spending the night. I spent most of the day yesterday with Casi and her sister walking around downtown. It was Chile's independence day, so we went to on eof the little parties, called Ramadas, on the side of the street that looked almost like a little fair. There were lots of small covered areas to dance and drink in. There were games, swings to ride, some shops and snacks to buy. Then we walked to a Rodeo, but got there a little too late, so we just looked around the shops. Then I spent the night at Casi's place, and we have been spending the rest of the day just relaxing.

Things are still pretty hard for me, and I really miss home and everyone there, but things are getting a little easier. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and words of encouragement. Love you all.
