Wow this week has really passed by fast. I got to Sunday and I realized that I get to write you guys again. Sometimes I feel like the week goes Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. What is cool is that this week was so full of stuff that it passed by even faster. 

So this week was really cool because it is the week of the independence of Mexico. In the US it´s just one day but here they have a party and then the next day they have the after party. Not really but it´s a two day deal and it´s super cool. Thursday night we had el grito de dolores. In every pueblo city state in Mexico, the presidents (mayors) Shout the grito at about 1030 or 1100 in the night. and then afterwards they shoot off a bunch of fireworks. What was cool is that our house is almost on main street so we went out on our balcony and heard and saw the shout. At the very end they say viva Mexico three times.

In the morning of Friday we went to the desfila or parade they have all of the kids in the schools march and the Queens of Ascensión ride on the hoods of the cars. I think that the best part is when a less active kid about the age of Price was dressed up like a friar even with a half bald cap and holding the banner of guadalupe grito Viva la virgin Maria. It was like That´s not good. 

We had a really cool teaching opportunity. We were in Omnibus going from Ascensión to Casas Grandes for a training meeting. When we got on the bus the lady next to us asked us to talk to her about God. We were a little confused because that had never really happened before and where do you even begin. So we started with Lesson 1 and we pretty much taught all 5 lessons by the time we got to Casas Grandes. It´s a good thing we weren’t heading to Chihuahua because if we had more time we might of baptized her in the bathrooms in the back of the bus. It was really interesting because even though she didn’t say anything we could tell that she had lost someone very close to her and that she worried about his salvation. We could also tell that she had been listening a lot to the JW but that she wasn´t a member. If you listen close enough you can find out a lot about the people you talk to. Hopefully she will keep listening to the missionaries but we don´t know. 

Well I have to let you guys go but I hope that everything goes well in school and everything. Remember that you guys are examples and can help bring others to Crist. I love y’all muchisísimo. Cuídense mucho.
