ALL IS WELL!-There is a picture of the sun with debris and dust kicked up from the earth quake.



The night of the earthquake was really scary. I jumped down to the bottom bunk with Elder Stagg when the rattling shook me awake. We held down tight to the mattress as the noise and shaking grew. I was really scarred when it grew to a max. I honestly felt safe being a missionary, but I was still scared, scared. I could not believe how powerful that really was. I felt totally at the will of the earth. How mighty and powerful is our God. Honestly after getting settled down, I realized how absolutely beautiful that was. It was honestly absolutely incredible to feel that.
