The day after Christmas, Mark, Verla, Brogan, and I headed off to Chile to go visit Brogan's mission. It was a really fun experience. We visited three of Brogan's areas Copiapo, Antofagasta, and Iquique. The people were all so nice. Everywhere you went they would bring you a drink whether you wanted one or not, and they were some of the most generous people I have ever met. Brogan was in heaven the entire trip. He loved being able to be back in the atmosphere, eating the food, and especially visiting the people. I enjoyed Chile, but I could never live there. I struggled with the food at times, and I got tired of not being able to understand anything. I was so excited when I was able to come back and hear English again. Throughout the trip we were on nine different flights, and one all night bus ride, so we were pretty exhausted. It was a great experience though, and I am glad Brogan was able to go back.
As we were planning the trip, Mark and Verla decided to make it a little more of a vacation for the rest of us as well. So after going to Chile, we were able to spend four days in Jamaica. The resort we stayed in was really nice, and we all had a lot of fun. It was windy the entire time we were there, so there was only one day where we were really able to enjoy most of the water sports, but it was still great to just enjoy the sunshine. Mark and Brogan were able to go scuba diving one day, so Verla and I went and pampered ourselves a little with a massage and facial. The day we had to leave was the nicest day we were there. The wind had quit blowing, so were all a little bummed to have to leave, but we were also all ready to come home again. It was a fun trip with lots of good laughs!
