San Ramon Santiago Chile Pictures
My second area was the Fernandez Albano ward in the community of San Ramon. This was in the far northwest corner of the mission but in the south central part of Santiago. We lived upstairs in the back of the house below. We stayed about a month before we moved to another house.
This was the two story chapel that we attended. After I left, the fence was doubled in height because people were breaking in and vandalizing it.
Here I am with Ronald McDonald. There was a McDonald's a few minutes east of our area. When I first went to McDonald's in Chile, my companions were so happy because there was lettuce on the Big Macs. Apparently there had been fear of cholera before and so there was no lettuce.
Super Pollo was a the name and logo of a Chilean poultry company. The chicken is wearing parts of a typical Chilean Huaso outfit.
This is the second house we lived in. We lived upstairs and you could see out the cracks in the walls. Not too bad since it wasn't winter when I was there.
This was the typical school bus. It was just a van that a private citizen would drive and charge parents for kids that wanted a ride. Since this was usually expensive, many children rode the cheaper micros to school.
We four lived in the same house for about a month. Left to right: Elders Carroll, Wagner, Fletcher, & Me.
