Today is the day of the dead here in Mexico. Its kind of weird because here in Mexico they double dip on the holidays this time of year. They celebrate Halloween, but they mostly just throw stuff at the buses and have parties and then on the day of the dead they mostly just use it as an excuse to not work. I know there is a real reason for the holiday but I've mostly just seen people with their faces painted like skulls. I think its a day that they use to remember the people who have passed away.

We had a meeting this morning in the offices for the trainers and trainees at the half way point of the 12 week program, and we just barely got back to the area and washed our clothes and now we have very little time to write. Oh, and since its a holiday, a bunch of internet places were closed :(

P.day "activity" for this week was a training meeting.

Always looking so good and radiating happiness!

Well, this week we worked a lot with a new investigator named Alejandra. She is almost 30 years old and has a daughter named Lupita. In the last 2 weeks they have almost received all the missionary lessons! The only problem is that they couldnt come to church because Alejandras sister had a birthday party and she had promised prior that she would go, but she promised us that next week she will go. She was able to go to a baptism we had in the ward and she met some members, so we are pretty excited about her progress in that aspect.
