Temblor y Amor


HOLA HOLA! :)
wow what an exciting week! :) i just wanted to let you know that all is well with me and hermana vargas here in ecuador. our ward is fine and all the missionaries in our mission are safe! :)
of course the biggest happening of this week was the EARTHQUAKE! on saturday night we were in the church building, getting ready for a baptism of the lideres de zona. we were just waiting in the baptismal font room with 2 other ladies, and all of the sudden i felt the ground begin to shake. i turned to hermana vargas who was sitting by me and said "yo pienso que hay un temblor!"... and sure enough there was an earthquake. we just sat there in the church for a few mintues, a little suprised, but calm, and the other ladies in the room sat there as well, while one began to cry and pray. we just sat there waiting as the room was shaking and the doors were shaking. and all my grade school training of what to do when there is an earthquake totally went out the window. yep. i forgot it all. but luckily all went well and we were safe!! :) when it ended, i didnt actually realize that it was that big of an earthquake. i thought maybe it was just a normal small one like they have sometimes here.
but when we left the room and talked with other people who were outside of the church, we found out that it was actually a big earthquake!! that many lights had shut off and there was no cell phone service. we had no idea, because we were in the chapel, and there are emergency lights and the chapels are built to support a 9.0 earthquake, so it didnt feel that big.
that night we began to hear more of what happened from the people around us, and realized how blessed and protected we were. it didnt even seem like that big of an earthquake to us, and we werent really that scared.
the next day church was cancelled, but we were able to go downstairs of our apartment to the family that are members below us. they blessed and passed the sacrament for us, about 8 people that were there. i was touched by the Spirit as  i realized the importance and grand blessing the sacrament is and the great opportunity i had to partake of it, even if it was just for a few people in the room.
this morning we got to help the humanitarian effort sort out bags of donated food and clothing for the people who were affected in ecaudor. we were there for 3 hours in the church sorting and bagging items. again i was amazed at the charity and service of the people here. there was TONS of clothing and food. i wish i would have had my camera with me! TONS of items. i was so impressed with these people here who, some of them hardly have anything to give, and yet give away to help others. wow. the spirit of service and love is flying strong here right now in ecuador!
other than that.... it was a pretty normal week! :) i sang a solo for a fireside we had and for the baptism de los lideres de zona. we sent a letter to the golden family who rejected us, the familia gomez... and hope to hear a response in the future! :) we talked to joffry and katty this past week and helped them set goals to go to the temple! also we met this cute couple this past week, they are about 60 yrs old, married, but have never been able to have kids, but are the sweetest happiest little couple!
looking back on this past week i have realized the importance of standing in holy places. when we are in holy places, we are protected from danger and can feel peace during the storm and danger that surrounds us. when we are spiritually and temporarily prepared for the dangers that surround us, we will be ok when things happen. we wont need to feel scared, because we will know that we will be watched over and protected. this gospel is true, and will help us through anything that we are going through!
i love you all lots! thanks for all your love and prayers for ecuador! :)
les amo,
Hermana Warburton

  2. El pueblo de Guatemala me cometió crimen perfecto con mis calumniadores por la negligencia de porfiarles a los tales las calumnias de prevaricador y de violador sexual masoquista por una necrofilia voyeurista popular frustrado por los tales desde el año de 1,992 hasta la fecha actual año 2,017 (25 años de calumnia). Es cierto de que mis secuestradores de las bandas de plagiarios me remataron por mis calumniadores pero fue por la culpa de Guatemala por nunca defenderme ni tampoco averiguarme con la policía que evolucionó en mis antecedentes penales y policíacos con mi primer antecedente de autocrimen por la comisaría # 14 de la policía por culpa de las colonias CentroAmérica y Tikal 2 de la zona 7 de la ciudad de Guatemala porque nunca me reprendieron con la comisaría sino que únicamente me sobornaron con la necrofilia voyeurista para difamarme en mi colonia actual residenciales San José. La comisaría #13 de la policía me cometió omisiones evolutivas de crimenes residenciales que me infirieron apologalmente con secuestrarme por mis plagiarios en una conspiracion apologal con mis calumniadores.
