On Tuesday I went on a tour with some of my classmates. We were planning on Going to The Museum of Bella Arte but when we got there this is what we found:
"Museum on strike"
So instead of going there we went around back to the museum of modern art. After we walked through the museum we went to an icecream shop. It was very good. I had manjar chocolate. Manjar is kind of like carmel apple dip.
We walked to the museum from our school so here are some of the pictures of things that we saw on the way.

On Wednesday my aunt Beth and I went out to lunch with two girls that we met at alpha and one of their friends. The girls are studying at a university here in Santiago to become english teachers. We had a good time together. During lunch my aunt made the rule that I was only allowed to speak spanish and they were only allowed to speak english. It didn't always work but we did do it some.
From Left to Right: Soledad, Me, Marta, and Yvi.
On Friday the three girls that we had lunch with came to our house to make sweets and watch a movie. They taught us how to make a Chilean candy and Beth made chocolate chip coookie bars. We enjoyed each others company and they liked the movie (Love Comes Softly) so we will probably be doing something like that again so we can watch the rest of the series.

Couch potatoes.
We had three people come to alpha on Saturday. One of them was a new person. He lives near Casa Grande. Lucho had befriended him and at first the guy would let Lucho into his house but told him that he did not want Lucho talking about religion. Then one day he told Lucho that he wanted to come to alpha. That is a good first step. The subject of this weeks alpha was "Why Jesus Died." Pray that God would work in his heart and give us the words to say.

That is about all for my week. Thank you all for your prayers!!
