Although they call it Semana Santa here there is really nothing holy about it. All week everybody went to the beach and nobody really even mentioned Easter... so it was a little dfficult to find people to teach because EVERYBODY went to Kino which is a beach like an hour away. School is out again this week too, for really no good reason and they call it Semana Diabla, which is just another week of vacations and party.
Also this week Xochitl our awesome investigator who told us she wanted to be a missionary and marry in the temple and had a baptism planned for this Saturday... ditched town. We passed by her house last Sat night to remind her about church and she was sleeping, Sunday morning he ex boyfriend came by her house and carried her off to another part of town out of our area. It happened SOO fast and was pretty confusing and sad. We finally set out to find her one day and talked with her and she and her boyfriend said they would listen to us together but then didn´t show up for our lesson so yeah that is a bummer.
Other than that, not much went down in Hermosillo this week. We celebrated my Companion´s, Elder Pineda, birthday with some investigators with a bonfire and I taught everybody how to make smores. Except there were no graham crackers so we used Pan dulce and I thought t was kinda gross but they claim to have liked it!
Let´s see also this week... I got a million bug bites on me feet somehow,
I had piroline for the first time which is like a mexican popsicle that is actually really good (a lot of the sweets and candies here are super gross), we hiked cerro de la compana which is a mountain in the middle of the city and toured around downtown and also learned how to whistle like a Mexican.
Con mucho amor,
Elder Mitchell
