So I have a little time to write, so I thought I would explain the situation here in Chile to the people that don't know. Basically, there is a lot of political and social unrest here and many of the people aren't happy with a lot of things the government has done over the past years. Last weekend it kind of exploded in all of Chile and there have been protests and riots and people setting fires in many of the cities. All the missionaries and I are safe! We just have to be inside all day. The members have been bringing us meals and we have been allowed to purchase a few groceries. Thankfully, we have also been able to go to some members' houses that live close by so that we can call home. We have also been instructed to wear informal clothing and not to wear our badges until things calm down. The members have been wonderful and have really looked out for us. Coquimbo and La Serena are a little in commotion but I'm hopeful that it will pass soon.
Hermana Brooks and I have been inside for 5 days and we are trying to find ways to not die of boredom haha. But I love her so much! I'm so grateful that she is the one I'm trapped in the house with haha. She cracks me up and we have had lots of fun together.
Please, everyone, pray for Chile! Pray that the problems will stop...that they can find some solutions, so we can get back to work!
love,
Hermana Snyder
Praying for you Dear Hermana Snyder, We hope that things get better and more than anything that you are safe. You are such a brave missionary and we have enjoyed following your journey in Chile. We hope that you soon get back to mission work.
