Saturday we had a small earthquake! It was a new experience. We were in a meeting then all of a sudden I felt my stomach goin all back and forth. I thought, "What did I eat this morning?" Then I felt all dizzy and drugged. It reminded me of the Villaflora! But then someone asked, "what was that?" Then it came back and then I saw the picture on the wall banging against the wall. It was pretty sweet. I stood up to see how I felt while standing up, I imagined surfing, but it went away before I could do anything. And that was it. Nothing drastic or dangerous or scary, just a first time experience. It supposedly started in Colombia and Venezuela and Panama felt it too. Cool stuff.
So Valentines day eh? You hardly notice here! It`s all about Carnaval, Carnaval, and Carnaval. It`s when everyone has water fights and throws eggs and flour all over the place. But this year that haven´t really because it`s been raining all week. Hard. So I bought that stinkin sunscreen for nothing!!
A family, Familia Abad, is going to be baptized this Saturday at 10 am. I´m super excited. It´s an actual real family that could be sealed in a year. So it`s awesome. They´re doing great. I gave Nixon, the husband, a blessing to leave smoking and drinking and he hasn`t done either for about 20 days now. Keep it up!!
We have another family, Familia Cuatin, progressing well for the 23. They`re awesome. The husband went and told his friends that he couldn´t play soccer anymore on Sundays. For Ecuador, that`s huge!! Wooooo baby.
Um other than that I really can´t think of anything else that`s happened this week. I just can´t listen to music for 2 months or have activities. They´re called righteous sacrifices. Because we want to see miracles these next two months we`re going hardcore to receive blessings. So mom, if you could help me out with missionary thoughts or faith motivating experiences. I have to help the zone stay diligent and excited and I have to set the example with all of this. So if you could share a spiritual thought in your letters each week it`d be great. Kinda like you did this week! Good stuff.
Well keep on working my mother! You´re doing great! Tell me what I should do with my life. What should I study? Are you okay with me going to study in BYU? Should I go back to work in the potato field when I get back?
AH! Spiritual things!! Yeah, anyway, I gotta go. But thanks for everything mom. I love you! Take care and tell everyone I said hi.
