Okay so for easter here it is a bit different because it is only the Cathliocs that celebrate this hoilday, and they call it The Holy Week. I am not sure well completely what they all do but really they just celebrate Christ and his suffering on the cross, also I think they have an event where they have a person (which I am sure it is voluntary he is supposely christ) and they well crosify (¿spelling? ¡help me my english is getting worse and worse!) him, a sister in the ward told us that but I am not sure that is right or what but if so then it is diffinetly pure apostasy and God will stirke them with him Hammer+777. So that is what happens here. Oh today we went on a hike to the top of a mountian( it is more like a big hill but okay) where there is a white cross with graffity, and stuff, but apart from the cross was the view which was great and so I took lots of photos in which everyone we be able to enjoy the beautiful area of Chimualcan. Now another story about this cross which the same sister told us is that a kid was crosified on this cross some years ago not sure why and for what purpose because Christ was and still is perfect, and if people are trying to be like him by crosifing themselves is well kind of dumb in my opinion but hey who knows. Okay so where I live is close to a main street called Baja California, and another one called Tijuana and no I haven`t found kevin yet but I will keep trying. Oh so this past week was pretty good, and I am doing great. On Friday in the night time we were knocking on doors and stuff and then this van comes with a family so my comp was like oh goody a eternal family so he goes and contacts them and I continue to knock doors so I knock a few doors more then I was like well my comp hadn`t come back yet so I went to find out whats up, okay, and well when the husband saw me I had realized right then that they were drunks, and the husband was like hey you white boy come here so alright, so we just sat there listing to him and his wife who was drunk also even more drunk then her husband so it was really funny with them because the wife was like, "I believe in Jehova, and I want you two to tell my husband that he exist.." then the husband was like no I don`t believe and anyways this story goes on and on it is kind of long but I will tell of the funny parts. So Anyways the husband talks to me about the united states and stuff, then he says that he knows everything about the united states, so I asked him a question so I asked "Where is Neveda?" so he thinks for a moment and then says that Neveda is in Neveda, I wanted to laugh so hard when he said that because it was hilaious but I could`t not in front of him. Anyways that is only one of the funny parts but it was rich! Also this past my comp got sick, but he is doing better now, he got sick on tuesday night at about 11 and he was throwing up and stuff, and had a small fever so that was fun, we just in the house all day on wednesday. Lets see here oh our mission president has given us a challenge to read the book of mormon in 90 days, and has given us a sheet of what chapters we need to have read and things to look for in the reading and it is really pretty cool. He has us looking for doctrine concerning to conversion, and also personal experiences in the Book of Mormon well like the prophet had and stuff, also whenever God speaks like " Thus saith the Lord", and whenever it mentions the name of Christ with any of his names, and Christ like attributes so this reading is going pretty good I am enjoying it. Oh about the President and his slamming is well like it says in the scriptures, that for the wicked the truth is hard to hear and accept but for those that enjoy and obey the truth is well enrichment to the soul. So yeah but he does it so well, he is a very sprituall man, he is a great guy. You know dad the advice that President keller gave is true, I know it is, some of the things that we hear and they strike us right in our hearts that is because god is talking to us through the Holy Ghost, because one of the feelings of the holy ghost is an increase of faith, then it is up to us to follow it. I know that this principle is true, We teach this principle about faith to the investigadors, and I have had that feeling as well. That advice is true I testify that it is because when I say my prayers and they are more focused on the people, I recive help from God and inspriation for my personal life. I know that is it true. Well I think that is about it because I don´t have anything else, I am sorry that This is late again but it is because we were doing laundary with at a sister`s house and it started to rain when we finished doing laundary so we waited til it was over, Well I love ya`all Have fun and don`t die!

Love YA!!
