Interesting Easter Traditions in Mexico

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this week, we had divisions with our district leader and well I don’t know why but I took divisions with his companion. It was fun because we went to work and had some good lessons. Now only to get my area working like that so that I’m not contacting all the time.  I know that me and my new companion will find the key in working this area in the first week or the first 2 weeks so that we have more success.

So my companion’s name is Elder Olvera, and he is from Bera Cruz.  It seems like we are going to have a great companionship.  I think that we will get some things done and really unify this area.

There are a lot of crazy things that have gone on this week!!!!  They had parties almost every night in our area hahahaha. I saw a parade that was the procession of Christ being brought to the tomb or something of the sort.  Also, I found out that on Saturday they burn Judas!!  It’s funny the things that people think of.  Then on Sunday, they had some artist from the states singing in the plaza.  I don’t think that this week will be any different at all because well they have 2 weeks of vacation here in Mexico. (I like it more than ours because more time off now and less  in the summer.  I always got bored during the summer hahaha) While I was watching the parade, I got a little scared because people dress similar to the KKK.  The only thing different was the pointy cap was red.  I didn’t understand why in the heck they were dressed like that but it might be one of those mysteries I never figure out.  Mom asked me what I ate.  Well the truth is nothing special.  I don’t think it’s that big of a deal here to do things like that.  I know that in Pascua, they don’t eat meat from any animal besides fish on those Fridays.  I think that some of the people that we ate with still follow this Catholic tradition.

So my family, there is no place I would be at the moment.  Maybe in 10 months I’ll be ready to come home, but I’m thinking about it and that would most likely be a no.

Hope that everyone has a great week and chooses the right.
