Hola! Thanks for
sending all the pictures again. Looks
like you guys had a great weekend, and nice fishing pole Mom! Don't catch them all before I get there
please!! Couldn't believe how old Hannah
is looking! Well it was a pretty good
week this week down here. Everybody was
talking a lot about the earthquakes and everything. One of the inactive ladies we are teaching
husband was staying in a hotel in the town where the big earthquake happened
the other day, and she was pretty scared about the whole thing. All the phone lines and everything were cut so
she could not hear from him for a few days. She was pretty distressed there for a while,
and we were there when her husband finally was able to call. Haven't seen anybody that happy in my life! And yes we did feel the earthquake that passed
through a couple of days ago. My comp
was talking on the phone and I was eating a cucumber and we heard a big noise
like a train was coming, and then it started shaking pretty hard! I guess everyone was so paranoid from the big
ones that happened in the north cause that was the only thing that was on the
news for the last week, so when it started to shake, everybody started running
outside and all the women and kids were screaming. The whole ground shaking thing did not scare
me as much as the screaming. We live in a
pretty big apartment complex, so there were ALOT of women screaming. Sure
was not that big, but long and big enough to scare the people a little! After hearing all the people screaming and
stuff, it made me think about the Mormon Message with Elder Nelson when he talks
about the airplane he was on that caught on fire and everybody started
screaming and freaking out. I just
wanted to go around teaching everybody that night, after how scared they were. Made me realize how much the gospel and the
plan of salvation really does comfort us!
Things are
still going pretty good in our sector. Had
lots of stuff to do this week, but we still were able to find some good people
and have some good lessons. And
Conference was great this time. I have
really learned how to enjoy and get way more out of Conference here on the
mission. Think I took a book of notes
this time - gets longer every conference! I think the mate helped me stay awake a little
bit too! Good stuff! I really like the talk by President Uchtdorf
about being thankful. I think that
one is gonna help our investigator, Benedicto, out a lot. He has been pretty depressed, but I think that
will help a lot - it was just for him.
That is good
you were able to get some stuff planted in the green house already Dad! Speaking of fruits and vegetables, bananas
were the one thing I could still not eat down here, cause they are from Ecuador,
just like the ones we eat in the states, but I decided to try them again, and
didn't have any problems. I have been
eating about three kilos a week - didn't realize all the goodness I was missing
for so many years, haha. So hope the problem
does not come back in the states though, cause I have come to love tomato and
avocado a lot down here, so I am just hoping it is gone for good!!
Well I had
better get going, but thanks for the email Dad, and thanks for all the letters
you send Mom - I still get them and I enjoy them a lot!
Hey Dad, one
thing I could use is one more little bottle of that American Crew hair stuff
you sent me a while ago, could you send me some of that again?? It is the one with the blue sticker on it. And some dill pickle spitz sunflower seeds
would be real good too!! :) Thanks dad
:)
I hope that you guys all have a great week this week!! I love and miss you all!
