Transfer

Maggie was transferred Placilla on April 8, 2013. Placilla is a wealthier area not too far from Valparaiso. Maggie said that Valparaiso looks a lot like Paris, "cool and old". Maggie and her new companion, Sister Schrader from Colorado, have both been in Chile only six weeks. Sister Schrader has had several years of Spanish, so with her Spanish and Maggie's enthusiasm, they are doing great. Maggie reports that people are very kind and showing mercy to them by speaking a little slower so that they can follow along.

Maggie's new apartment is all new, new furniture and new beds. A couple of weeks ago she came down with a strange ailment with symptoms of little red welts all over her body. The official diagnosis:  Fleas! She and her companion de-bugged the apartment and the welts were all better. So...no bugs so far in this new apartment.

They have many new investigators and have much to do. Maggie is anticipating great things in Placilla!
