I´ve used a lot of time with pictures, so I´ll just be able to paste a little of what I wrote to mishelae:
We
were using internet in a cyber café last monday when the power died
because of the crazy rain/lightning storm we had. First the internet
went out and I was trying to get the email that I wrote to averi to
send, but it wouldn´t let me. Then the whole room with all of the
computers just went dark because the power went out. We had this crazy
and unexpected rainstorm hit. Everyone in Centro (the main shopping
place) was hiding in all of the buildings because the rain was coming
down really hard, and the streets were all flooding too. We still left
in this crazy rain storm, and everyone looked at us really weird when we
told them that we were going to go out in the storm. But we just
covered all of the stuff in our backpacks (we always carry extra plastic
bags, just in case) and ran out through the empty streets of Centro
just around the corner to the grocery store where we were going to buy
food. There was a wall of people lined up at the doors, and the store
was packed with people escaping the rain, so we didn´t end up going
shopping then. We already got drenched just running around the corner,
so we just gave up and continued running through the streets for like 15
minutes before we found an empty taxi. So that was a little
adventurous. The power outage was a lot of the city, including our area,
so we couldn´t work when we got back to our area monday night, because
there weren´t any street lamps on, so everywhere becomes a lot more
dangerous. So we went home and studied in the candlelight. The power
didn´t come back until after we went to bed, so it lasted for over 6
hours I think. Normally in the city that doesn´t happen. In the south,
that will probably happen like every other day. But it was kind of fun
to use candles to study that night, and look over the city in almost
complete darkness.
So that was kind of fun.
We
are getting ready for general conference this next week, I still have
to finish the BofM in spanish before this weekend for my goal. We might
have another baptism soon.
Love,
Elder Ward
