The earth shakes at night

It is fun to talk to you guys the same time Marie is on, but something tells me her emails are funny and full of jokes with stories that are hard to believe, and I might seem a little stale in comparrison.  I hope not.  That would be like the rest of our life though.  Whatever, Chile is just better.  Thats all you need to know.

Today was another good week for Elder Terry in the CCM. Thank you for all of your prayers, I can feel them and they bring me comfort when I need it.

 The missionaries here are some of the coolest people I have ever met in my life.  I cant believe the quality of people who have showed up at the ccm (Chile MTC)

 This is my District.  Seriously as District leader I feel like the dad.  I think I have about the cutest kids in the world.  Dont be haters

 I think I have an especially cute look when I eat.  They tell us to eat up, cuz food wont be as plentiful when we leave.  I hope thats true.  My pants are getting tight.  YIKES!

We got to go to the temple this week. The missionaries here go every other week. I loved the temple here it is so beautiful. Most of the missionaries in my session were American so the whole session was in English so that was nice.

P days here are so awesome. Well it is not really a pday more like a p few hours haha. President Doll said that as far as he knows The ccm is the only mtc in the world that lets missionaries walk around the city. I love the city it is so interesting to me, I have never ever seen anything like it. Its nice too because they have a lot of American places to eat like mcdonalds, burger king, pizza hut so its not too much different then the states! No that a horrible exaggeration, it is actually a lot different ha. 

Sundays are so amazing here. It really is the best day of the week at the CCM.  The spirit is so strong. All week we work super hard and it is stressful but Sunday we get to relax and feel the spirit through devotionals, Sunday school, and the Sacrament. I love Sundays here. I was able to teach my zone for an hour this Sunday.  I had a really spiritual experience doing it.  Mom, I taught my whole lesson on the alabaster box in honor of you.  Thank you for telling me this story the night before I left.  It has had a huge impact on me.  I have a testimony the the cost we pay personally to put the oil in the alabaster box that we use to wash the Saviors feet with, is worth every tear shed.  Im trying to fill my box full of sacred oil so that I can wash the feet of my friends in Chile that I go teach.  The spirit was so strong. I will always remember your advice to find the saddest most broken people and teach them about the ministry of Christ. I love the scripture in Ether 12 that says gods grace is sufficient for the meek. I think everybody has very difficult things in their life and are sad and the meek are the ones who turn to Christ.  Stupid pride keeps us away.  I read 3 nephi 17 and had such a strong impression of gods love. Something about Gods love for little children really helps me understand. Its why we are all so crazy about Lukey.

Every two weeks we switch teachers and the spanish gets a little more intense. Tomorrow will be two weeks so we will get new teachers. I am excited for that.

I felt my first earthquake here. It was right before I went to bed. It wasnt that big but it was definitely noticeable. I was in my bed and it started shaking.and slowly moving across the floor.  It was actually pretty cool.

I am glad everything is going well with you guys. I love you so much.
