Every week seems to be busy, but moving faster and faster. It´s hard to believe I´ve been with my current companion for 5 weeks already. Time just keeps moving blindingly fast.
As for the aftershocks everyone is okay. We actually happened to be in our weekly zone class at the Chapel at that moment. Probably the safest place to be in an earthquake. We are doing well in every aspect. Last night the power went out just as we were ending the day and as I was talking with a devout Catholic, apparently in most of the country. The power came back really quick but still it was interesting. We could see the Milky Way for a time which was great, the first time in months. In fact, the power came on just as we got into our apartment after climbing the 14 flights of stairs.
As for the investigators and everything we are working on getting them to progress. We have several that want to get baptised and others that are continuous. There are a lot of kids popping up right now as well. We should be getting a few baptisms really quick here.
I had a funny experience this last week. We were walking down the street and a drunk stopped us and yelling at us told us to go home to our country. He made us stop and started swearing like crazy and trying to tell us we were stupid and didn´t know what we were doing. He got up in my face and stuff but I could tell he really didn´t know what he was doing. In the end he asked us for money and then left in a rage because we didn´t have any. Anyway, I found it funny as it was just a classic drunk that just wanted to get angry at someone.
As for some good experiences I have seen the gospel in action in several peoples lives and we are being led to people that really need our help and want the gospel. Today while grocery shopping a lady stopped us, asked us for our number and said that she was going to need help with some things within the next few days. It´s really amazing the gospel and this work. Probably the best thing this week has been reading in Isaiah. I learned a lot about Christ and everything. There is another name for Christ in Isaiah and a lot of symbolism with it, as well as the symbolism of Zion and Jerusalem.
Well, I love you all and am grateful for you. I pray that you all are happy and safe. Love you!
