Hello from ARICA!

Hola Familia!!
I'm just trying to get used to these keyboards, they're a little bit different! :)  I got here safely and I'm loving it already!  We got to Santiago, we had to wait there until 2:30 and then the flight was delayed until 4:30. Then we got to Antofagasta around 6 and the whole office was there to greet us, along with President and Sister Bruce of course. :)  They had been waiting there for a couple hours because our flight was delayed.  So we drove back (the elders all went in the van and I drove with the Bruce's) and we got stuck in traffic because of a mining expo that's going on.  The Bruce's said that that is probably the only time we will ever be in traffic in Antofagasta... :)  We went back to the office, had pizza and introductions, took a few pictures and got to know each other a little better.  
 
My companion's name is Hermana Delgado.  She's from Peru and she is such a wonderful happy trainer!  She's been very patient with me, seeing as I speak about zero Spanish....and she's trying to learn English, so it will work out great! :)  The bus ride was 12 hours, so it's been a long and exciting 3 days of travel... :P  I'd better get going, but it was great to talk to you all on Monday!! I love you all so much and I'm so grateful for your prayers.  
 
One thing Mom, we couldn't find a mail box, it was only a UPS box that the airport lady directed us to, so I brought the phone here to Chile and Sister Bruce said she would run it by our house when she's in Utah when they get home.  I said she could just mail it, but she said she would love to meet you! :)  P-Days are on Monday, so I'll be talking to you all soon with more details! :D  I love this Gospel, and I love this work.  We are so blessed to be living right now.  Talk to you soon!
Con Amor,
Hermana Tuft
