So last Thursday Carnaval started, and it actually hasn´t ended yet but it is pretty crazy. I thought Carnaval was really just a Brazil thing but I guess a lot of port cities do it, Guaymas, Veracruz ect. Now I don't really know exactly how crazy it is because we aren´t allowed to go to the part of the city where they celebrate but after 3pm there is TONS and TONS of people walking towards downtown and then it is pretty loud all night. From what I have heard though, it seems a lot like Mardi Gras with a big beauty pagent, bands coming to play every night, and tons of drinking. We did walk past where they have been keeping the floats for the parades one morning though and they were all pretty sick.
Anyways this week was great, we had NINE investigators come to church, one of them even bore their testimony, and found some more people who seem really excited to learn more about the Gospel. We finally got Adalberto to set a date for his baptism March 15th) after over a month of him saying he wants to be baptized but a little more down the road. I can´t believe I am going to complete 4 months in the misión this week! Time flies by faster and faster each week, it is crazy.
