Well Easter here is called "Semana Santa" and lets just say the Catholics are crazy with reenactments of what Christ did for us.... they really go too far with it!!!
2. What was the best thing about this past week? The worst thing?
The best thing was that we heard the BYU synfania (symphony) play and it was super good. The bad thing was that we arrived one night to our house late because we were super far away and we got done late from our lesson but it was a good lesson!!!
Haha that doesn't suprise me that you are bruised haha you are always bruised lol
That is really true... we look at it as a day to day thing. When we don't have a good day we go and try to do better the next and each week we get to renew our covenants and follow Christ a little better each week
So this week was super fun and super hot. Since its pascua (Easter) we are challenged to teach about Christ and what he did for us and what pascua means. For me its a new life, a second start and a blank page because he suffered for our sins so we can start new and follow him in a different way each day. It was a great week. There were not a lot of people in the streets. We got to teach with Alfredo and his wife and it was a great lesson but we did get home late haha but that's alright. We are preparing for the baptism of Ricardo this week so we hope he passes the test so he can get baptized this week. On Friday we had exchanges with Elder Richards and so I was with him while his comp was with Elder Batz. It was good. We worked super hard and even though there was this guy that told us that the devil is right and how there will be a war in Mexico and that the devil is going to win and how he is just bluffing right now and really he has all the cards and that we are wrong and we don't know because we just think in the way of God... it was a good day haha. We found a lot of people to talk to and teach and we got to go listen to the BYU Idaho Band that came. It was good and we got to talk to the members of the band and the Zone. I know what its like to stress. For me we are stressed a little bit because the Zone isn't doing too good. We are going to Baptize but everyone else no, so we are really working to get that fixed. On Sunday we went to the temple with Ricardo and we listened to a family sing about the Pascua (Easter). Also on Sunday I talked in church about the Atonement and how Christ didn't want to suffer and die but he did it because he loved us and still loves us and he loves God. He asked if there was another less painful way but of the will of the father not his will so it really made me show that yes he had a hard life and for us its hard too but if it was hard for the only perfect being in the world shouldn't we be able to suck it up and go with what we have. It opened my mind a lot and its an awesome thing to learn. Well that was my week. I love you! Stay safe!!!!
