Halloween
was all weekend because they have dia de los muertos tambien! I'm still
confused which day they celebrate it here because the past three days
there have been children dressed up in the street asking for candy and
money from businesses and cars. Lots of people put up offerings for
their family members that have died and put a display thing and believe
that they come to visit them and eat the food that they leave and all
that but the church doesn't really support it in that way. I think I have
a picture of a decoration set up from a recent convert though.

Our district activity! I didn't really get a good picture though.
This one I have a bad double chin so I don't really like it that much.

This
week we went to the doctors twice for my companions foot. Found out she
has tendonitis. We were both pretty bummed. First time I've had a
companion that will run with me in the mornings and walk fast during
they day. Thursday they gave her some crazy long injection thing in her
foot and she had to stay off of it for a couple days so we did divisions
and I went out to our appointments with a girl in my ward who is
putting in her mission papers soon. She is awesome and really helped us
out a lot.

Pan de los muertos. We mentioned that we had never tried it to a
few people and then had to eat it twice yesterday back to back. It is
pretty good but I wasn't hungry. They also made us abuelita hot
chocolate. Way good!!!

From
our baptism yesterday!!!! Gerardo got baptized :) He's is a golden
child. Twelve years old and loves going to church. He always does the
reading we leave him and remembers everything. Smart kid and an awesome
example for his family. We really love them. His mom Odette really loves
the church too. They have been going every week the past few months but
she can't get baptized yet because her and Daniel aren't married and live
together. He had been menos activo for a really long time. But they
both spoke at the baptism which was really cool. I've never had an
investigator speak at a baptism before. And last night we had the best
lesson with them EVER. And our Bishop came too. The Spirit was so strong
and they finally opened up to us about their fears and we testified
strongly of the Atonement that Christ can help them overcome it. I have
no doubt that she will be able to get baptized soon and sealed in the
temple next year. They are the cutest family ever.

My memory card has some virus on it
so we have been trying to fix it. The pictures I sent are from my
comp's camera. I took lots more this week but I can't get to them. And now
we've got to head to a cita but all is well in Mexico :) I will have to
write more next week because we are doing good and having a lot of
success. My ward is awesome here. Love you all!
Hope you have a good week!
