Thanksgiving Chilean- style

Me and Ana Paola, Daniela and Terea... my partners in crime!

Meet Danielita, my long lost Chilean sister! She is as crazy as I am, and we are always getting in trouble for laughing in class or being late. This was during a particularly interesting dance party...

Andre and Teresa serenading me...

Cute chicas

power! the cutest chilean in the world

Teaching our Chilean friends some new songs... these brothers are amazing musicians (the ones who let us join their band for an afternoon). We learned a lot from them and will probably see them in San Vicente on our mini-outreach

Joel, our interpreter's adorable son. He now calls me Tia Brooke because I got him ice cream once. I am winning him over one candy at a time.

Such a fun day at the beach with friends from San Vicente, South Korea, US and Chile. Mini, in the front with me, is here practicing her English and picking up one Spanish phrase a week. Right now I think all she says is ""Muy bien! Gracias!"to any question in the highest-pitched voice possible. So cute! This is also the day of the dead penguin sighting.

Helping our old man friend make our empanadas.
