Earthquake

Earthquake, as you all know
I was really near, I felt the tremble, the floor was shaking at 3 a.m. We woke up, it was a pretty interesting experience. A lot of people are devastated, down here.
Ok well I have to be short this week, we have a few appointments today, later in the night, everything is fine down here. We had a rough week because of the festival, we tried to be effective but there was nothing to do. a 2 day festival (Festival of siruelas, i´m not sure how to spell it, it is dried prunes) where everyone gathers to party. We went for an hour, because we had permission and we had nothing to do. It was awesome because it was a interesting culture event. It made it really hard for us as missionary this week, in church not even half the members came. Our church is so small too. We have to give family home evenings every monday (Today) for the members, it is kinda demanding but we are learning. I will send some pictures of our activities sometime.
Our church has like 25 members. Here in bowen it´s almost like as if we were the leaders of the church, we take care of everything, prepare the sacrament table, prepare the chairs, open the church, the only thing we aren´t suppose to do is give talks on sunday. It´s an awesome learning experience, we are trying so hard to help this church grow. Bowen is very catholic, and most the people don´t like that we are here. We heard some complains about us, that came from the radio (members told us). The catholic church says that we are a sect and that we aren´t christians.
We are hoping for a good week, no more interruptions after the festival. Well thanks for all the support!
Love,
Elder Olson
