Earthquake in the Night

After being "shaken" awake Warren found the emergency light that we bought when we got to Chile. We finally found something we bought that we actually needed.

A quick inspection of the apartment found only minor damage, but nothing serious.

Broken vases and fallen pictures. The water in the toilets sloshed out onto the floor, but we didn't notice at the moment as we were headed down the stairs and outside.

Just like in 3 Nephi, everyone gathered at the temple after the "destruction". We found that the only light was shining on the Angel Moroni, but the rest was pretty dark. There was a full moon, however, so we could find our way around even without the emergency light.

The next morning we discovered that the Angel Moroni had "dropped" his trumpet. It was in three pieces on the ground. Amazingly, the temple just happens to have a spare one for just such occasions.
