Chile bows out of the World Cup and summer in Edmonton

So Chile suffered a pretty bad defeat to Brazil in the Round of 16 in the World Cup. The country should still be pleased of their performance since they were expected to get out of their group which they did. Hopefully Chile can learn what it takes to play at the high level since they played Spain in their game prior to Brazil. It was nice to see them play as it brought back memories of their world cup qualifying campaign when I was serving my mission in Chile.
Anyway, so far being up in Edmonton has been great. It has been a bit of challenge to navigate my way around the city, but now it is becoming easier. G&G always give me some food, so that is always a bonus. Well thats all for now.

Jon Burr from Peace River will serve in the Santiago Chile mission too. You'll have to come down here to enjoy some hiking and wear your 7-11 outfit for old times sake.

Just teasing. We love having you.

Spain was probably the better team, but I thought Chile was the victim of some pretty shoddy refereeing.
