Swine flu quarantine/church cancelled for 3 weeks

Hi everyone! 'Hope your week was great. Over here its been kinda crazy. There has been a big scare of this disease they call gripe A [swine flu], they say its even bigger in the states but sometimes people just say stuff like that. Well its getting crazy down here. Apparently people are dieing from this thing. They are closing down big stores and stuff like that. Then this past week when we were with our bishop he received a call from the stake president saying that church is being cancelled for at least 3 weeks until the disease has settled down. Apparently its like that all over the mission. So for like the first time in my life I just didn't go to church. It was really weird just working this Sunday morning. So we just had our own little sacrament meeting as a district and that was that. It is a crazy dumb thing cuz now our investigators cant go to church which they really need to do or we cant baptize them. So its a bummer down here but we are doing the best we can do without church.
This past week we went to one of our investigators house and they were having problems in their family getting along so we decided to teach about prayer and how much of a difference it can make in the family. We told them to start praying as a family, and also personally by everyone going to their room to pray. The parents pray together then everyone says their personal prayer :) Tons of prayer! I'm positive we will go back to a much nicer environment this next week. So ya that's pretty much it. Hope every things going great over there.
love you all
