Pictures‏ (They weren't attached....I'll update when I receive them)




Hola, hola...

Ok, ok, we´ll start with the day in Antigua with Hermana Wetzel! It was an absolute blast and (very, very sadly) WAY too fast. We hardly did anything (just shopped ;) of course). We tried to catch up on everything, but there wasn´t enough time. Everyday, I just realize more and more how much I learned from her. It´s crazy. I´ve never learned that much from one person in that short of a time period. It was sad (AGAIN!) when we had to leave, but we´ll see eachother on May 10th for the "Hermanas Only Activity."

Pictures
Me wearing the gifts for Goose, Toph, and Izy before sending them :)
Baptism of one of the boys in our ward. The familia Morales.. they are incredible and always helping us!
Baptism of Sonia. We´re still teaching her 3 teenagers.
Our ward trip to the temple!! It was awesome. Someday, I´ll tell all the stories of each of the people in the picture to you :)
Baptism of Cinthia (yesterday). Don´t worry, she´s way cute in person. I don´t know why she decided to smile every other moment besides in the pictures ;)

Semana Santa (the week of Easter) is HUGE here. Everyone books it for the beach, because no one works or studies all week, so it was a little dead here in La Mariposa. There are lots of processions, but we didn´t see anything because nothing is done inside the colonia here, just out in the pueblo. We ended up having to travel 3 days in a row to Escuintla (normally an hour away), so that was insane (the prices for the rides sky-rocketed and there weren´t as many buses as usual - it was interesting seeing economics at work). We went on divisions with some other hermanas in the coast. I was with one of the Latinas that I entered with from the CCM. It was awesome. I learned a lot from her and she is an excellent missionary, and, again, it was fun showing off La Mariposa.

When they want to get places here... they FILLLLLL the cars, motorcycles, and buses. 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 baby on a motorcycle. At least 15 people in the bed of a truck, etc. It´s awesome and crazy....

Hna Rizo is from Nicaragua. She has only been a member (almost) six years, but seems like she has been one her whole life. She has 3 brothers, but only her, her mom, and her oldest brothers are members. What else? Her mission is over the end of June, but don´t worry, she´s not real baggy, yet.

Love,
Hermana Marin
