This is the 6 month retiring of the tie ceremony.

Happy Mother`s day! I had a lot of fun talking to you guys yesterday. It was too short though so maybe next time we`ll do it for like 2 hours or something like that. 

This week was really busy, we had a lot of meetings and activities in the zone to keep us busy all week. I would tell you about the activities we had in the center but I already told you the good part about the transito and the 4 crazy Christians. (Spencer told us the missionaries went to El Centro and set up a table to get some references of people to teach. One of the people who came up to them was a homeless person and a police officer came and kind of walloped on the homeless guy till he left. Then four people came-not together but separately probably to try and argue with the missionaries but ended up arguing with each other while the missionaries sat there silently watching them.) Most of the rest of the time was spent handing out Liahonas (Liahonas are church magazines) and DVDs to people in the street. It was kind of funny because this one guy I talked to was sitting like right behind our table. I talked to him and gave him a Liahona. I guess he didn`t know how to read because I left, he flipped through the pages for a few minutes and then finally put it on his head. It was also funny because my companion was talking to a guy and he got to the part where we ask for their address. The guy was like ¨I live at...at...at I don`t know man I`m still a little bit high. ¨ 

This week was really fun too because I completed 6 months in the mission. We had a tiny fiesta the 5th of May because I completed 6 months on the 4th and my companion 21 months on the 6th so we split it down the middle. I call it a party but it lasted more like 10 minutes and it really just involved us eating our 10 peso cookies and talking. Then I had to report and I was too tired to stay up. 

Speaking of the Devil and where he lives, it has gotten really hot. We have a bunk bed but we ended up taking the matrieses...mattresses (¿How is this dumb word spelled?) off our beds and moved them to the floor in the study area. That kind of worked but I`m still toast.

Well that`s about it. But I have a question. Our District Leaders want to know what activity we can do as missionaries in the ward or ward activities that are dirt cheap.
