Hola everyone!!!
Hey friends and family!! This is Jason! In my broken spanish the title I was going for is ¨We have a home!...or better said a cottage-little home!!¨ We had to run around the city the first day we got here, which was a Sunday, but we had very little luck since everything is practically closed. We were able to get a house on Monday through an agency. We probably got the ¨gringo¨deal, but it is a nice little old house inbetween where Anna and I will be teaching.
Our first night in our new home was quite the adventure! We didn´t sign the contract until around 7:30 pm or so and didn´t get to our house until around 8 pm. We hadn´t eaten dinner yet and so the couple from the agency took us to the supermarket to get some food from the deli. They bought us some plastic ware to eat with because we didn´t have any silverware or plates yet!! So, Ann and I had a little picnic upstairs in our bedroom while we waited for the cleaning agency to finish up (everyone works later and stays up later in Chile, so moving in at this hour is not a strange thing I guess).
Well, once everyone left Anna and I began to put our things away. I plugged in a lamp to give us some more light and just after I did from the outlet there was a big POP! and the outlet shorted and tripped the breaker. Well, luckily we brought a little flashlight, but try as we might we couldn´t find the breaker box!!! Also, the gas wasn´t hooked up so we didn´t have any hot water, so when I took an ARCTIC COLD shower I had to use the little flashlight to see!! :) ha ha. Oh yeah, and the agency couple took our blankets to clean so we didn´t have any bedding except sheets!!! So we bundled up and had a cold nights sleep!!
Anyways, all is well and God has taken care of us! We have a neat story to tell next time we have time to post!!!! Ok, love you all and talk to you all soon. Pics to come...
Jason and Anna
