So I arrived yesterday afternoon in the wonderful city Santiago after about 35 hours of travelling. Killer. Yerko, Mario and a couple of others picked us up from the airport, and then we drove to what was soon to become the girls house! We drove past a students strike and they were throwing fire at the police! Yerko simply said "welcome to the jungle" and turned up the music. Our house is an old house with no heating, and is falling apart, there is no gas pipes and you cant flush toilet paper down the toilet or it will block, but now we've put some pictures up, and are getting to know one another, it is becoming more and more like home. We went for lunch at Yerko and Corine's house (our team leaders) and they made empanadas (a very chilean dish kind of like a pasty) and a avacado salad (very chilean) and sweetcorn with mayonaise! (weird.. but chilean!) It was really good. We also went to the mall to buy a few bits for the house and to make our rooms more homely. It has been pretty relaxed so far, getting to know the metro system, and the buses, and getting to know each other. Tomorrow we have the team orientation and briefing. So I will have more exciting things to talk about then.

**please pray that we dont get bitten by a spider that lives in our house which would kill us!
**Also, please pray for our friend who has not been able to leave europe because he is having problems with his passport. He thinks he can get here on Saturday at the earliest. He has already missed so much, so just pray that he doesn't feel too stressed and that he can pick things up quickly.
