Week 3 in Chile

¡Hola Amigos!
Well, its the third week in Chile, and I am doin a lot better! My companion and I are making a lot of headway with some of our investigators and I think, and Im coming along with the language pretty well. I just hope that they can continue to progress. We went on a hike up the moutains today. It was so awesome! They make me really miss the ones in Utah. Im kind of bummed that I never hiked them ever. I guess i need to put that on my TPNTDWHCH list (maybe we should shorten that to my Back To Life (BTF) list. If anyone feels like I need to do something when I get home, just let me know. Actually, let my dad know, he is the one putting this whole list together.
I got kind of scared the other day. We went to a member´s house to have lunch, and they had just had a birthday for their 2 year old kid. My companion looked at me and said: "You know, your going to be out here for as long as he´s been alive." I really hope it goes by faster than that!
But so far, I havent really been hit too hard with homesickness. Yeah, its bad sometimes, but really, I think that if I was anywhere else right now, I wouldnt be nearly as happy as I am now.
Spanish is progressing poco por poco. Im just having a hard time right now being able to understand the order of the words in the sentences. I can pretty much pick out 50% of the vocabulary at this point, but understanding what goes where is still kind of tripping me up. Other than that not much has been going on. We had Communist day on the 11th. I thought that was kind of funny. Nothing really happened though, dont worry mom. Hopefully I will be able to start sending photos as soon as I can get my cable cord for the camera. Then you will be able to see a bunch of the photos that I have taken so far. Unfortunately, I cant take too many, because taking out my camera would be a big risk of getting it stolen by some flighte kids. haha, I dont know. Maybe I´ll have to take more.
Alright, I am SUPER hambre, so im goin and getting something to eat. Thanks everybody for the letters! I am really enjoying reading what you guys have been up to and what is going on in your lives. Take it easy and I´ll talk to you all again soon.
¡Chao!
Love,
