Mission Home

One of the great things about visiting Chile was getting to see Presidente and Hermana take care of the Chile Osorno Mission. It was such a wonderful experience to see them take care of the missionaries with such love and enthusiasm. They love those missionaries, and they love Chile. We got to see the mission prepare for transfers, we got to see some amazing missionaries head home, we got to see Presidente set-apart a new missionary heading off on his mission, we got to go with them to interviews, we got to go out on splits with missionaries one evening, we got to see Presidente and Hermana speak in church, and we got to see how much of a positive influence Ken and Susie are on the lives of all of these wonderful missionaries and the good people of Chile. Aaron and I would love to be missionaries in the Chile Osorno Mission!

We didn't spend a lot of time in Osorno or in the mission home. When we did stay close to home, we had a great time cooking, exploring the city of Osorno, and being apart of the mission. Here are a few fun pictures.

We kept in touch with our babies through video chat. We sure missed the girls. Thanks again Grandma for taking care of them for us while we visited Chile.

Susie is making fresh fruit smoothies. It was so nice to eat fresh fruit again. I miss it so much.

I'm learning how to make empenadas.

Susie made an amazing fresh raspberry and blueberry torte.

This is Mirta. She is the mission home mamita. She is the best cook ever. She taught us how to make empenadas, and I taught her how to make homemade rolls. Yummy!

Aaron became the designated fryer.

This is the virgin of Osorno. She overlooks the city.

Cows were very plentiful in Chile. They were very happy cows.

The wiring in Chile is very interesting. Instead of taking down old wires, they just leave the old ones and add new ones to the already dangerously large collection of wires. I would not want that job.

How Aaron would look if he had dreds. That is wool.
