Dear Sister Steele,
You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Chile Osorno Mission. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 18 months.
You should report to the Mexico Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, October 9, 2013. You will prepare to preach the gospel in the Spanish language.
I have started this blog so that my family and friends...maybe stalkers...can keep in contact with me for the next 18 months. While I'm away my mom (or Sydney) will be updating my blog. So if she forgets don't give her a hard time! I could not be more excited about my call to Chile! Although I am nervous to be speaking spanish I know that the Lord will bless me as I try and learn the language. I read my call on Friday, August 23, 2013. I really didn't have any guesses on where I would go. But as soon as I read Chile I knew someone there needed me and that's where the Lord wanted me. I couldn't believe I left 45 days after I opened my call...especially since I was leaving the country! Everyone else getting calls to leave the country are leaving the end of December or January! Maybe it's because I already have a passport but who knows. It's all on the Lord time. I have so much to do and so little time! But I'm glad I get to leave soon and get out there.
I don't know much but about Osorno except that it's very south. Osorno has 4 seasons. It is cold but it doesn't snow there. It usually doesn't get much hotter than 86 degrees! It is very humid and dry. There are some active volcanos in Osorno. From pictures I've seen and what I've heard it's beautiful there and I'll be seeing some pretty famous sights. I could not have asked for a better place to serve the Lord!
