Behind again! We went on Friday night with the Eickbushes to TacoBell. They had talked about the missionaries going there and I had been craving a taco ever since. They frequent TacoBell and Taco Time often so they knew where everyone of their restaurants in the city were. It was actually really fun. We went back to their place and played Five Crowns- I was the loser! While we were there the Yturraldes dropped by to pick up something. They had been at the temple so they sat down and visited with us. I could not believe how quite it was in their apartment. No horns honking, car alarms ringing, ambulance sirens blaring, guaguas polluting the air, people shouting, etc. They had soft music playing in the background and you could actually hear it. Made us give a thought to moving into their apartment when they leave in March.
We haven't had power all day today so I spent some time at Yturraldes - they have a back up generator- calling Keira for her birthday. We had to go down to the guard building to plug our printer in and print off some copies for our lessons tonight and tomorrow.
It was an interesting night in Hainamosa. First of all when we got there Jonathan and his brother that we met last week were there and he informed us that his brother was going to be baptized and he wanted me to play for them. This brother is in a baseball training camp just out of Santiago and is on a break. He is 17 and wants to serve a mission. We talked about how being a member of the church and living by it's standards would protect him from much of the worldliness of professional baseball. He really has a strong testimony and it was a great experience to hear him bear his testimony even though there was much I didn't understand. To add to the atmosphere was the fact that the power went off and on five times staying off longer each time. One of our students, Anderson, had agreed to play the music for the baptism but we never had power for the keyboard to work. Jonathan's brother was confirmed in the dark. It was a strange experience for me but they all seemed to think it was a normal thing. Most of the talks were given in the dark also. Which just solidifies my opinion that these people really do see in the dark!!
