We had an earth quake of 6.4 here on Saturday. Hermana Jerez and I were in the street
contacting and we knocked on a door and right when the man came out of his door,
we heard a crunching sound and I looked down the street and the road was like
an earth river wobbling!! The man walked
out of his house as the ground was moving and shaking, and I grabbed on to
Hermana Jerez and asked what we should do hahahha! We waited a minute and then it calmed down and
you know what the man said when he got to the fence where we were standing
scared half to death?? He said, ´´I’m
catholic and I don’t care about you guys and your religion, good day.´´ AND
WALKED BACK IN THE HOUSE!!!! I honestly don’t think he noticed... and if he did
he was a cold hearted old man to leave us standing there before seeing if we
were at least okay! But oh well... We
walked to the next house and rang the doorbell and a lady came out and told us
to go back to our house because she said the aftershock is sometimes stronger. But...we continued to the next house and
then all the lights shut off and it got really dark and a teensy bit scary, but
we knocked one more door, trying to take advantage of the situation and another
lady came out scared to death and we asked if she was okay and she told us that
she was scared and really appreciated us asking and having desires to preserver
and share the gospel but she told us we really needed to go to a house until
the lights came on... So... this time we took her advice and went to Hermana
Blanca Bronzale´s house and her and her family is so precious! They gave us
food and Mate and we ended up being able to get to know her family a bit more
and have a lesson with them... So there is blessing number 1 of the terremoto
(earthquake), the second is that after this, the lights came back on and we
continued contacting... Then it started
to rain REALLY HARD, we were practically swimming (: but we knocked on this one
guys door and he told us he knows a bit about the church and long story short,
he tried to lie to us about his name, but we joked with him and told him he
needed to be a better liar or just tell us his name. He laughed and invited us
in WOOHOO. We taught him, his mommy and
met his 98 year old grandma who had as many jokes and energy as Grandma Evelyn
did. BLESSING number 2! And we had to
run home in the pouring rain for 30 minutes to make it home on time. LOVE THE MISSION LIFE (: it was a long but
successful day. I learned a lot about
diligence on Saturday.
This week we also helped this guy push his car back to his
house and in his garage and he invited us back to see if we could teach him YAY
for service. Also, Juan, a friend of a
recent convert gets baptized this Saturday!!!!!!! We are so excited ((:
Well..... I’ll send pics soon but I am scared to send
anything because this cyber has eaten a lot of people’s memory with viruses...
So next week we will send pictures from the computer from the church.
Also... We did a huge Nerf war with the zone and it was way
fun.
Landon, Austin and Brooklyn... ya’ll better practice because
I got good at this game and we are gonna play when I get home!
Well that’s all for now. Interviews with President Cook next week and
I will only have 2 more after that! ♥
Hermana Blancas son (our ward mission leader) and Elder Wilson and Elder Castro (: |
Have a super sassy semana xoxoxooxx
