Well, we had a couple of earthquakes this last week! I'll start off by telling a super funny story! So we were in the house at around 8:40ish and our house just started shaking and we all thought it was just a big truck passing by because we live right by a shipping yard or a port, so there's always huge trucks driving by. But then the shaking didn't stop and then it started to get a lot louder and the whole house was shaking and my first thought was, "Yo We Gotta Get Out Of This House!!! We Are Having An Earthquake!" So mid-earthquake we dipped from the house because the houses are all 3rd world houses made out of nothing and we live on the 2nd floor, so when we got down to the bottom level the earthquake stopped. People ran out of their houses but no one said very much when we were out there, other than if it is bigger we are dead. But then we had another one that same night and I was dead asleep, but I do remember waking up that night and my heart was beating really fast, so yeah I guess that was cool. Where we live is below sea level and Guayaquil is pretty much surrounded by water since it's a port city, so it's like an island. Could be crazy in another big earthquake!
Well, we didn't have our bautismo last week! NOO!! HE DRANK COFFEE!!!! But we have made new plans and helped him set a goal to get baptized this Saturday! ALSO the Stake President invited us this Thursday to have a little Thanksgiving with him! Yeah we are pumped! And yeah he has ESPN! hahah! No, but really go COWBOYS haha!
All is well with me. I like 1 John chapter 4 a lot right now in my life! It talks all about the pure love of Christ and God! This is the perfect time for you all to read it.
Well hope all is well with everyone! We might be going to the temple this week!!
Have an awesome Thanksgiving everyone! Next year, I will get to eat with you! Yay!
Love ya!
