It sounds like everyone had a super awesome Easter!!! La Semana Santa this week wasn't what I expected it to be. I guess since Almería is a smaller city they don't have as many prosessions as other cities like Málaga. I only saw one and it was freaking scary. Why do people think it's spiritual? No idea. They had the KKK type costumes with masks and then their huge float with Christ being persecuted by the Jews and then they had huge drums and they marched to the beat. Just a little bit creepy.
Anyways, well my Easter was quite memorable. Oh goodness. I ate my first fish in Spain!!! Worst experience ever! I will never like fish. Ever. It's just not going to happen haha. We had our big lunch meal thing with our investigators that we are about to drop...haha the Ecuadorian Family. They wanted to serve us their special food that they make during the Semana Santa in Ecuador. It started off with a chunky orange soup with mystery things inside and some type of fish that I did not like. Then for the main course they made me eat a huge nasty cold sardine fish with they eye ball n all on top of mashed potatoes and a nasty red sauce. I waned to die. I was just making faces at my comp of "please eat my fish for me...or...let's get out of here asap." She just laughed all during the meal. Soooo much fun. But the dessert was rice pudding, SO GOOD! That made up for everything haha I was so grateful for it.
Also this week I had my first lesson in English!! We met a guy from Nigeria and he didn't speak any Spanish so I jumped in and we made an apointment with him. I was super scared for this lesson because I would have to teach the majority of it. Hna Martín did teach some and she spoke super well!! She needs to speak more English ;) It was a super shaky lesson and I was just not good haha I was speaking super weird English and just had no idea how to teach not speaking in Spanish. Ugh, it was rough haha and on top of that, I could barely understand his thick Nigerian accent. It was super interesting but he accepted to read the BOM. So that's good!! We'll see what happens with this interesting situtation....
Other than that....still trying to find investigators. We had a conference in Málaga for two days and it was SO FUN! LOVE THOSE CONFERENCES! The missionaries in this mission are the greatest. I LOVE OUR MISSION! Everyone is just so hilarious and spiritual and awesome and this mission is going to kick butt this year in baptisms. It's only going to get more awesome with all of the new Hermanas. YEAHHHHH! Spain is going to be translated soon because we'll have the greatest missionaries ever :)
ENJOY CONFERENCE THIS WEEK! I'll be watching it in spanish...soooo tell me what the Apostles and Prophet actually say cuz there is no way I will understand. haha I'll just have to read it in the Ensign. Enjoy that you get to watch it in English from the comfort of your homes. It's such a blessing. Watch every single second of it!!! I'll be following up with all of you... ;) Have a great week! Love you ALLLLLL!!! This Gospel is the greatest thing in the world. We are so incredibly blessed. Help share your blessings with others :)
love,
