This week was pretty good minus the Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebration part because nobody was home or even in the streets. Everbody goes to the beach during this week. But we really worked hard anyway (some of that might be because the zone leaders said they would buy lunch at Applebee’s for the ones that reach their goals because the work is hard during Semana Santa). We found some good people; the problem was that nobody likes to go to church at this time. We’re really trying to focus on families. We found a really good one too. The wife is a member and so is the hija (daughter) but the dad isn´t. The problem is that the husband and wife aren´t married and they didn´t go to church this Sunday. But they said they will for sure go this second week. We also have another really good possibility this week named Jose. We have an appointment with him tonight although I think his mom might be a little against it. His cousins and other relatives are members so they are helping us. He is 19 years so I´m pretty sure we can still baptize him because he can choose for himself now. So that’s who we have to teach right now and one more guy that has been going to church for 3 weeks. However, whenever we call to go teach him he says we can´t come because he is busy. But he really likes church but I think he has a few problems to work out because he is always in talking with the bishop. We’re doing some things in the ward to get the members more involved because the members haven’t been too involved yet. So we have an activity this week on Wednesday. All the different groups are going to do a talent act and some little messages just to get them involved and to bring some friends. Also, we are doing this thing every week where a family in the ward gets to give a Book of Mormon to another family and then on Sunday they share their experience in Sacrament meeting. Then they get to choose a family to do the same thing. So we hope that we will have some success with this.
I saw 2 weird things this week - one was part of Semana Santa. A group of people were walking down the street singing then when they got closer we saw they were caring a casket with a mannequin type thing that was supposed to represent Christ. It was a little weird. Then yesterday we saw a guy chase some other guy with a machete but the guy got away so he didn´t get him - haha.
I hope you guys all had a good Easter and had the chance to remember what Christ did for us. I spoke a little bit in church about the atonement and resurrection for about 15 to 20 minutes. That´s a lot in Spanish - haha.
Dad I liked what you wrote about the house in Idaho getting built soon and that you are ready to start that and have to get some jet skis but you forgot one thing... the boat! - haha. Mom, I haven’t received the last package yet but we have interviews this week so I´m sure I’ll get it. The mission only has 1 car so I haven´t received anything for a while so I´m pretty sure it´s in the office. I am officially half of the way through the Book of Mormon in Spanish now.
Thanks for all that you guys do and Happy Easter.
I Love You All!!!
Have fun in Virginia, Mom and Dad
Cuidense, (take care)
Con Amor (with love)
