So, Tuesday, was a little crazy. We got hit with a pretty big earthquake. We were lucky enough to be the LDS Temple of Mexico City. The temple is considered, for us, the most sacred place on earth. So, being in the temple while all this locura (madness) went down was a huge blessing. When it started to shake, we were all super shocked, but nobody screamed or did much. It felt like we were in a big boat just rocking around. Super weird. But unfortunately the earthquake did a lot of damage here. We are looking for good ways to help in our areas.
30 Seconds to the End
I have thought a lot about the end we all face here on earth. At times, we feel invincible as human beings, but then something happens to remind us of our frailty. For example, an earthquake that comes and goes in less than a minute, could end everything. Death, to me, is kind of the final exam of life. We have spent all our time studying, preparing, and then the exam inevitably comes. When it comes, there is no more prep time, no more "phone a friend" or Google searches. When it comes, there is only us, who we are. We must answer for who we are, what we have become. There is a Savior, Jesus Christ, who wants to school us and prepare us for this exam. More than that, He wants to help us become the best people we can whilst here. I have felt this hope and this peace from faith in Him. I am still in prep time, but I hope to face the exam without fear and with peace. Haha, veremos (we will see).
