saturday night

so refreshing to talk to you sara and mom today! cant wait to see you in 2 days..

jon and i are staying at the house of senior ramon and odilia rain (rah-een) during convention.. no hot water for bathing and jonathan cant stand up straight in the hall or bedroom! wouldnt change this accommodation for a 5 -star for anything!! they are older friends with big hearts.. moved to puerto montt from an island in the south..

convention in puerto montt is going fast, but softening.. one example of many: today in testimony, a father with a small family spoke the following "naturally, we may lose everything. but, we need not worry. We should only worry that we might lose the fear of god in our lives".. i asked after the meeting why he would say such a thing.. their house burnt to the ground this summer.. insurance? nada! they have started slowly to rebuild..happy to be at convention..
85 or so in the meetings.. it is in the carpenters shop (main floor) of some of the friends who live upstairs..

every day continues to overflow with privaledges..
