                         I didn't get a caption for this one, and maybe we don't need any explanation!

                      These pictures are from the Semana Santa (Holy Week) Celebrations

"Semana Santa was pretty crazy this week!!" April, 21, 2014

So, Semana Santa was pretty crazy this week!! I'll attach some pics of the procession and the candle walk.

The temple trip Friday was so awesome. It was super organized and best of all I got to see some of my converts and some members from my other ward.

There was also a lunar eclipse so the moon went red.

Also we have a baptism the 27th hopefully it all goes well!!!

Only this but I'll send lots of pics! love you guys!

"This week they started the Semana Santa" April 14, 2014

But this week was super great, but really weird. This week they started the Semana Santa, or the holy week. Palm Sunday was yesterday, I've always seen Palm Sunday and Good Friday on calendars but I didn't know that the catholic people celebrated it. They do this thing called the procession and they walk around with these huge things of Mary and Joseph and Christ like huge dolls on platforms then they act out Christ carrying the cross and like guards beating him, and they do it like all day and all this week. they dress up in special robes and do all these different things. To be honest it is kinda cool to watch but its such apostasy... ha but we've heard Good Friday is crazy I'll take pics.



Also we got a temple trip this week!! Friday with investigators! We also put 2 baptismal dates!!!
that's all I got for this week.


love you all!!

We baptised Nelson yesterday!! April 7, 2014

this week was super great!!!
first off. Conference, conference was so great!!! i love it so much. at first we had some problems saturday morning not one member of the ward or branch showed up to the church finally at like 10:10 one guy gave us keys to the church and we set up the projector and all this. finally we started at 1045 and we were gonna watch in english but we couldnt this session, but the rest of them we did. it was awesome having the english room!

Second. we baptized nelson yesterday!! it was so great. he bore his testimony after and started crying. then after we ate some cakes with them and drank hot chocolate.

Third, i ripped my suit pants so big haha!!! i owned them, we were hopping in a ride and it caught on something.

Fourth, i have to use this soap made out of sulfur for my bug bites. and the soap smells so gross, then after i use it the bathroom reeks. i use a different soap after to make my body not smell like it but it owns the bathroom. so me and this other white elder we always say that im always gonna have to use the sulfur soap. and im just gonna be like the sulfur boy after the mission and everyones gonna make fun of me haha.

Fifth, there is a new elder tanner coming in a few weeks. haha im so pumped to meet him. we always talk about how hes gonna be so cool and that hes just gonna own me and everyone is gonna love him way more than me haha!!
