well tuesday was a little stressful, super spiritual and kinda "crappy" haha. so we have an investigator named O, shes really awesome and my comp and i have been trying to give her a date for baptism because we feel shes ready. the problem is the past 2 lessons the house has been super crazy and we couldnt get the spirit as strong as we would have like too and just didnt feel it. finally on tuesday, after lots of prayer and preparation we had an awesome lesson. we taught about priesthood and before the lesson she complained about pain in her foot. i kept getting the impression to give her a blessing but i remembered were not suppose to offer to give blessings. but i finally just asked her and she agreed to it. we gave her the blessing and after she felt a lot better so we asked her to be baptized and she said yes!!! im super happy for her. this was the stressful and spiritual part. after we walked out side and we were checking our plans to see where he were going next. all the sudden i felt something fall on my back and my comp just starts laughing. i asked him what happened and he told me to look up. when i looked up i saw the back side of a freaking pigeon!!!! i immediately knew what was on my back, and it was all over my back pack!! so i did a walk of shame back to the house and you would have thought the people here have never seen a gringo with bird crap on his back. little kids were laughing and it started to smell really bad. i got in the house and washed the "crap out of it"!
the rest of the week was pretty normal,thankfully vacations ended so we finally had work again,but it was also la semana de los motos or the week of the motor cycles!!! it was awesome there was so many motor cycles and choppers and built bikes everywhere. i wish i had gotten pictures. the hotel parking lots were full of choppers!
today we played billiards and ate tocos. it was a pretty fun day!

April 6th:
so i had a fun week!
tuesday morning at about 4 am my comp wakes me up and shows me the nastiest rash ever! we decided he should take a shower then if that doesnt work we would go to the hospital. well at about 5 the rash was growing so we headed to the hospital. thankfully its only about 10 mins by walking. we got their and he got a shot and the gave him some pills to take. we got back to the house and slept for about a half and hour and had to get ready for the day. at 8 we had a multi zone meeting which consisted of about 150 missionarys and the mission pres. it lasted till 530! it about killed me haha. i learned a lot but i feel like they could have made it go by a lot faster!
Wednesday through friday was pretty rough. there was no one in the streets and all of our investigators were gone. every one in mazatlan goes to the beaches or the catholic churches. the work was slow and we couldnt wait for conference!
Saturday started off bringing J A to the stake center to watch conference. it was super exciting to bring him to church because it was the first time he could see inside of a church building. he loved the church and loved conference even more! i got lucky and got to watch conference in english , there are only 4 american missionarys in the zone and we all sat together. i loved conference! ive never been so excited for general conference before the mission haha. i guess every one in the states celebrates general conference the same because all four of us americans brought a bunch of food and took a billion notes.
Sunday we watched conference till it ended then tried to work again. everyone was still on vacations but we had some lessons.
today we went to the faro ( the biggest natural lighthouse) at 5 am because my district leader is mean. then we went to carls jr for breakfeast. it was a pretty good day!
i hope you guys had an awesome Easter!
