...I really love these people...

Querido Familia y a los demas,

Pues, this week was pretty....I don't even know, lol. This whole week was Holy Week down here were all of the people dress up like women and demons, dance with Judas, and try to re-crucify the Savior...a little different than the average Easter weekend of looking for eggs....not really sure why we do that, but anyways.

The zone leaders thought that it would be safer for everyone if we all stayed in the stake center pretty much the whole week... watch the "Preach My Gospel" movies, eat some pizza and play around the whole week. It was a really nice break I would say but now I'm ready to go back to work.

The other day we were contacting in this area right next to the beach and we were meeting some really cool people...and I know that there aren't any members down there. We have never taught in this area and all of a sudden I got excited and I got re-animated and it felt like I was entering the mission all over again. It was sooo cool!! I have almost 3 changes in this area and I only have about 7 months before I come home and I've come to fact that getting in the office.. although it would be one of the most amazing experiences ever...probably isn't going to happen. But that's ok because I really am enjoying being just a normal missionary. Don't have to worry about anyone else's dates or sicknesses or sins. Just me and my companion... working hard...anyways just wrote the president and asked him if I could finish the rest of my mission here in La Blanca, or at least to have one or two more changes here, jaja! He doesn't always write back but as long as he gets that memo.

Changes are tomorrow and I really don't want to leave...I really do love these people. It's like I have a whole new family and after the mission I really would like to build a house down here so that I could come visit with these people. They are some of the most amazing people you could ever know. Maybe one day all of you could get to know them just as well as I have. I don't know, that fire that I had is back, like it really feels like that adrenaline rush you get in your chest some times, but it's always with me and I LOVE IT!!!!


When are transfers? Do you think you will be transfered this next time?

Tomorrow, hope not, lol, I really love it here!


Have you ordered your suit yet?

No, It only takes the guy about 4-5 days to make it and I haven't ordered it yet.


Did you get your minutes for your phone for Mothers Day?

No, but I will.....Mother's Day is the 8th right..?


Did you get your Easter box? When I send chocolate...does it melt or is it ok?

Yeah, I got it, and no... it does'nt melt but I throw it in the frezer anyways...If I can get anything cold, I will, love the cold and miss it , lol.

And for those leather scripture cases, I'm going to need every one that wants some to send me some photos of what they want on their covers for like the front and back. As far as the nativity scene I think I'll have to wait till Christmas for that...but we'll get it don't worry.

Anyways, love the work, love you guys, and love the always tropic weather!!!
