Episode 6: Just Two Girls Lost in Translation

Ali and Alex focus in on their Mormon mission experiences in Chile after briefly discussing concerns about celebrities’ extreme weight loss, including Ariana Grande on her tour and other actresses. They describe culture shock at the Mexico City MTC, language immersion, tough living conditions (propane for hot water, limited money for food, washing clothes by hand), and highly strict mission rules with minimal communication. They explain being punished near the end for taking photos with elders during a trip to San Pedro, which led to being barred from the temple and separated from the group. Ali shares meeting Pituca y Lucas cast members on P-day. They also recount major Chilean events during their mission: deadly floods, an 8.3 magnitude earthquake with tsunami warnings, and Copa America celebrations. The episode ends with a follow-up listener update about kissing a best friend and advice on a situationship conflict involving a guy’s friend.Don't miss out on anything Pretty!.
