April 15th found us in Parral at a district meeting. Parral is about 2 hours north of Concepcion. I needed several of the missionaries to sign visa applications for their 2nd visas. After finishing our business with the missionaries we took a stroll down by the market. A lady coaxed us into her restaurant and served us this fine meal for about $4 a plate including a drink.
The meal consisted of pan (not pictured), fried fish, potato salad, lettuce with lemon & oil, and tomatoes. We were hungry and it was tasty.
Everytime Elder L drives by these grain bins, that are outside of Parral, he gets trunky!
You can see the semi trucks lined up to dump off their grain.
On April 19th we drove to Chillan to look at a house for the sister missionaries. The fall colors were so lovely.
Autumn is my favorite time of year and this drive was a feast for the eyes.
You can see the yellow colors, the pine green and the silver of the eucalyptus.
While in Chillan we stopped at the big outdoor market so that I could buy a new purse.
This is where the missionaries go to buy souvenirs to take home.
These grain bins are over by San Carlos.
This is the church building at San Carlos. We also had to make some deliveries to the elders in San Carlos.
April 22nd was our cambio. We had some really great missionaries going home that day.
This clown was performing at the main plaza in downtown Concepcion. The children were sure enthralled with all of his antics.
The 25th of April was flu vaccination day in the mission. I was able to help a little bit by putting bandages on some of the missionaries after Sister Balden gave the shot.
April 26th found us out in Andalien looking at a house for the elders. I insisted that Elder L stop and take some more pictures of the creepy statues.
It is kind of funny how the birds are sitting at the base of the statues.
Oh, yes, and this is me sporting my new purse and just loving it. I just hang it over my shoulders and go. No more of this having to hang onto a purse, it just hangs on to me. Love it! Love it! Love it!
Another rug completed for the sister missionaries. This one is made out of old sheets.
April 29th it was back to Chillan to sign a contract and get the keys for the sister missionaries. As a bonus, they have a small orange tree in their back yard, complete with oranges. The oranges will ripen in a few weeks.
