Okay so we had the COOLEST miracles this week I don't even know where to start!! AHHHH. Okay so like 5 weeks ago we got a referral from a Jehova's witness. Which is a miracle in itself if you know any JW. And she was just like "I am saved hunny, but here's my friends number"- so we call her. No answer and we forget. So inspired though cause we were met to see this lady when and where we did at the exact moment we did. So we went to this international market and saw the Jehova's Witness AGAIN and she was like "what the heck, why did you only call her twice, call her again" - so we did and she was so excited so we set an appt and went to see her Tuesday. So she is like this viejita who lives in an assisted living center with a bunch of other elderly chileans. Which was random because mostly everyone is from Cental America. And then I felt weird and thought (no one will believe me, but whatever) "I bet there is going to be an earthquake" - so we go inside this lady;s apartment and then there was like... an earthquake. A real one! This poor woman was in the earthquake hace 2 years in Chile and seriously was about to have a heart attack. She was crying and screaming "TERREMOTO!" and banging on the walls (although it was massively destructive even the Chileans said it was quite big, 6.0 according to the mission pres, so she had reason)- and so we grab these old ladies during the earthquake and walk them very slowly (their old and immobile) down 5 flights of stairs. Obviously by the time we were about one down it stopped. It was like a movie! I am not going to lie I was scared cause we were high up. But anyway the miracle is we go down stairs with all these terrified Chilean (and GHANAIN!!) anzianos. And we gathered them and prayed with them and calmed them all down and read them scriptures and found some of the most golden people I have met on my mission. We got sooo many return appointments and I just knew we had to be there at the very moment we were there, not 5 weeks ago, but at that moment. Cause A. that woman would have DIED she was like hypervhenalating (sp?) and we had to meet all those people because we can't knock at this center and wouldn't have met them any other way. I just wish you could have seen it it was so great! The weather really helped us out this week. We had twosuper intense storm and were able to teach the other stranded people and keep Shirley and Beni a little longer to teach them. We started to leave and Angel Moroni got struck by lightning and then there was like this hurricane looking storm outside. But we would have been driving in it (because the hurricane looking storm started a couple min after the lightning) if it weren't struck as we were walking out. And yeah the AP's called and said to be prepared for a hurricane Saturday, but I doubt it will get to us or be too intense. Anyway updates on the bdates: Alonzo has his citizenship test this week so will be getting baotized next Sunday, Shirley seems ready and excited to be baptized next Sunday, but her mom it seems like might take a little more time. Luis is REALLY struggling... that is a completely nother (?) story, Lorena very hard to get a hold of pray for her, We got two more this past week with La familia Vargas (but there's is muy complicado) and Henrey!! He accepted a bdate after our first lesson in the Vc on his birthday. So cute. Anyway sorry these stories are really all over the place I just am out of time and have to send it right right now. Love you all so :)
