Earthquake!

Hello!
I am writing from the ruins of a broken down house with a phone that only has one bar of a signal...just kidding. I'm all right and writing in an internet cafe. We had an earthquake this week, and it was pretty awesome. There are always earthquakes that happen that we don't feel, but we got to feel this one. Apparently it was a 6.4. I was in intercambios that day, so I was with another missionary in a house with one of their investigators. We had just finished praying and were ready to go when the house started to shake, small at first but then stronger. We walked out of the house while it was still shaking, and the other missionary freaked out and thought that she was going to die. But we were all right. Chile is well prepared and all that happened is that it shook the ground a lot. But I hope that investigator got an answer to her prayer.
Trinidad is going great. We are working with a couple of investigators to help them out. We had stake conference recently, and a seventy and our mission president and his wife came to give talks. They were really good. Some of the members gave their testimonies, and it's great to see how the Lord works in their lives and helps them become happier.
The weather is really hot, for those of you who have been asking. We are putting a lot of sunblock on, drinking a lot of water, and I have a nice tan-line on my feet from my shoes. People say later on in the summer the winds stop, which I am not looking forward to because the winds make the day so much better. For now, we are just planning citas in the hottest parts of the day.
I also have heard a lot about the elections from the people in Chile. I hope you all make the right decision and choose a good person who can lead the nation in peace. And just remember whatever you decide makes a ripple effect not just in the United States, but in other places, such as Chile. For those who are still unsure and those who are sure (everyone), you should read Alma 46 and pay attention to verse 12.
I am really grateful for this gospel, and I am really grateful that I have made the decision to come and serve a mission. I can see the small and significant differences it makes in people's lives, and also how it helps me out in my life. I find whenever times get tough that God is there for me, telling me through the scriptures and everyday experiences what I need to hear and to know. I know this gospel is true, and if I could I would tell everybody in Chile. For now, I'll stick to Chile Santiago Este.
Thanks for all the support.
