Funny Things Heard on the Chile Mission Trip

Now that we are back from Chile I thought you might enjoy The List’s Top Ten from Chile:

1. “I thought these places were all closed, but they just weren’t open.”
2. “This road would be a booger in the winter time” (in Chile, it was winter)
3. “Someone with a good camera could get a good picture from here”
4. “Sometimes it seems like we’re the mature ones of the bunch” (said by a youth)
5. “Jose Christo” referring to Jesus in a testimony.
6. “Escupe me” (trying to say excuse me in Spanish but saying “spit on me” instead)
7. “That’s one even Tarzan would not understand” (our missionary)
8. “I made us rush on accident, but it wasn’t on purpose” (also our missionary)
9. “I am amazed that there are so many Americans on this flight” (as we boarded for the US)
10. “Take all the time you want, just do it quickly.” (TSA agent at DFW)

Honorable mention goes to Cathy Rozas, one of our translators. When talking about Christmas being in summer in Chile I asked if Santa wore a bathing suit. She said, “No, he looks just like you.” I then replied, "Ho, Ho, Ho, thank you very much."
