Hello!
This week has been insane. I
have been worked sooo hard! We had changes this week, which
are always crazy, but this week the flights got all split up and we had
to run back and forth from the airport all the time. We also had the
whole mission go to the temple this week. Luckily, the planning for that
wasn't too crazy, but all of the missionaries came to San Jose the night
before their temple day to sleep. And guess where all the missionaries
sleep when they come here? My house. I had three nights in a row with
over 25 missionaries in my house... I didn't get any sleep at all! They
were all so loud! And to make this worse, right after that I had to wake
up at 2:00AM to drop off the returning missionaries at the airport. I
can safely say I'm dead tired.
Okay that's enough of that. This
email is going to be pretty short because other than crazy office stuff I
haven't been able to do anything exciting this week. Easter was weird
here... Most of the people here treat it like any other day. In church
they didn't really even talk about Easter.
It's weird. The
Catholic church here celebrates Holy Week. It consists of lots of parades
where people follow big crucifixion statues and chant the
Hail Mary and the Lords Prayer in Latin. It is actually kind of scary.
One night I was working in the office late and saw a bunch of sirens and
heard a woman screaming in a very monotone creepy voice. I ran outside
and saw about 50 people in the street holding up a big cross chanting
things that I couldn't understand. I took a video of a procession during
the day, but the pastor got mad at me.
Yesterday we found a spider
bigger than my hand just chilling in the office. It was funny how much
it freaked out my companion.
I'll send a video of it.
I hope you all had a
good easter and that you enjoy General Conference this weekend! I'm
really looking forward to it, because I'll actually be able to understand
it in spanish this time! haha
