Here's a picture of Lindsey and I in front of a Coca Cola sign that, translated, says, "The hotter it is, the less clothes people wear." We thought it was funny. :)

Summer Fun!
Well, summer is coming to a close here in Santiago. Most of the schools start back up next week, everyone is back from vacation, and the hot weather is starting to cool off. I know most of the time I put pictures up of events, but this time I decided to just put some photos up of us having fun and enjoying the summer time!! I hope you enjoy! :)

One of the highlights of our summer was taking a trip to Mendoza, Argentina for a couple of days with some of the Univesity students. Pictured here from left to right is me, Cristian, Lindsey, and Kani.

New Church Home
Well, we finally made the move to our new building! We moved on January 28th and it was a great day! Over 50 church members came to help, young and old! Everyone is so excited to be in our new beautiful building! Our first church service was very special. We had well over 100 people present! After services, we had a ceremony and watched as several men from our church placed a cross in the tower, and then we had worship time together, praising and thanking God for all He has done for this congregation.
Being in the new building is so exciting! When I see this building, I see hope. I see a future for this church in Santiago. We are here to stay. I get chills when I think of all the things that will happen in this building... baptisms, weddings, celebrations, lock-ins, and so much more! I hope you will take the time to celebrate with me and thank God for what he has done in Santiago, Chile!
Below are some pictures of our move day and the new building, and there will be much more to come (how cool is that?!?). Enjoy!

Meet My Storgin!
I would like for you all to meet Konner Glen Grant. He is the newest member of the Kelley and Julie Grant family, and the newest member of the mission team here in Santiago! What makes him even more special is that he was born on December 28th... my birthday!
Ok, so you might be wondering about the title of this post. What's a storgin you might be asking? Well, you know how when you share a birthday with someone it just seems really special? I mean, twins have the title of twins, so there should be a title for anybody who shares a birthday, right? I was sharing these exact sentaments with Kelly and Sara Davidson and they told me that in their family they did have a word for it... Storgin! My life has been changed ever since! :) So, hopefully you were looking for a title to put on 2 people that had the same birthday. And now you have an answer!
With all that being said, let's all welcome, Konner Grant, my storgin, to the world!
