I thought I was doing good until I got to Chile. The Spanish is so fast.

After almost a week in South America for this assignment, I go to sleep and wake up with Spanish phrases running through my mind.

The Chile Viña del Mar Mission has good singers 🥰 https://t.co/wKRSIY9hWM

Buenas tardes from Valparaiso and Viña Del Mar, Chile. I just met a returned missionary who knows my missionary son’s companion right now in Bolivia. The world is large and small at the same time! https://t.co/Biiy1XwDrK

I find it funny I brought a hair curling iron in my bag all this way to South America and haven’t even had time to use it. On the way to another city. https://t.co/Zd1iUKSORz

Here is my story from Uruguay, where Elder @StevensonGaryE noted the multi-generational strength of the Church and he said the future is in good hands because of the children. https://t.co/Z6rvMWy4vr

“We’ve been all our lives doing over and over again the things our mothers have done.” - Laura Puchado Here is my article with children of some the first Church pioneers in Uruguay. https://t.co/Au0ELzVBaP

Texting moms some pictures of missionaries is a favorite thing to do on assignment. Today it’s the Argentina Comodoro Rivadavia Mission. https://t.co/yX0MTxwvGA

Buenas noches from Ushuaia, Argentina, at the end of the world! It was 8 degrees Celsius today, not bad. And I just interviewed a pioneer of the Church here whose testimony made me cry. More to come for @the_churchnews. https://t.co/9yrCzAnMoE

I’m embarrassed by how long it took me to remember that a light switch also controls the wall outlets in many other countries. I was looking around this Buenos Aires hotel room so confused tonight that I couldn’t get my phone to charge.

My skirt needed a safety pin today during my travels! And I had one 😄 https://t.co/P6uACKAHmz

I’m going on an overseas work assignment and kept thinking to bring a safety pin so I grabbed three. I hope I don’t have to use them. I’m looking at you, backpack zipper.

Here at the Montevideo Uruguay Temple grounds on a chilly afternoon. At meetings yesterday and this morning, people greeted me with a hug and kiss on the cheek like I am a friend. https://t.co/9Tij7cp00b

Buenos dias from Montevideo, Uruguay! https://t.co/uoY6QaDsKe

Traveling for work. Spent a night and day in Atlanta for flight delays then was rerouted. Shoutout to the Latam agent who met us at the gate in São Paulo, Brazil, and ran us to our connection to Montevideo, Uruguay.

Text from my dad: That was an interesting podcast. And I see the world will know that I wash dishes, lol. And that's an amazing backstory about “I Will Walk with Jesus.”
