Hello Everyone! Im totally fine. Neither me or my companion got hurt. Our house took no damage that we could find and the only thing that fell over in our house was a cereal box and a photo. im not even joking. Me and Elder Canaan both woke up to the quake and immediatly began praying, than we ran out of the house. we only were awake for the last minute of it, we slept through the build up, ha. but we checked on the neighbors, everyone was fine. It was loud and quite intense, but our area suffered little to no damage. if you could be here right now you wouldnt have any idea we just went through an 8.8 earthquake.
i imagine the news is showing the worst of it in concepcion and santiago, and thats not where we are, thankfully. a few elders from my district are there though. we have been praying alot these past few days. we dont really know much more then you guys, we are kind of cut off from the world as you know. we have been told to remain in our house for the past few days, we had a short sacrament meeting sunday, the ward is really coming together to help, we got permission to check on a few of our investigadors, they were fine. but just today we had permision to go buy food and water. it was nuts all the markets are packed, but we have everything we need now. all the missionaries in our zone were not hurt. it was seriously a miracle. the chileans are doing fine, at least the ones we have talked to. as for me mentally, im fine, it was definantly intense and the aftershocks are a little unsettling, but im totally fine. we cleaned up the house really well yesterday, made some good food and played chess and guitar. not too mention i have almost read the whole book of mormon over., im in Either, ha. we have maintained our regular schedule but we are just in the house. we should be going back to work on wednesday.
plus i got both packages that you sent, they are totally awesome and perfect for a time like this. they had everything i did not even realize i was craving. the tape was awesome and the card reader is perfect. we had another great conference and week. we have another baptism date, Gizelle for the 21 of march. Familia droguett is still doing awesome, we havent heard from Cristpeher yet, his family was still on vacation when the quake hit. so it has slowed the work a bit, but we will pick it right back up. so no worries, we are in good hands. thank you all, much love!.
