Hey sorry I have been so crappy writing lately haha.
So this week was Easter Sunday!!Yeah and conference!!! Here in Mexico people are super apostate and have catholic church walks where you take giant virgin maries and march around town, or you tie yourself to a cross and walk for like 8 hours (some towns actually nail them to the cross..) yeah it was aweful!
We were going to have another baptism this week!!! a 6 day baptism!! Found a guy that is only in town every 20 days because of work and has gone to church a bunch of times and we were going ot baptize him Saturday, but Friday we made the mistake of stopping by, and his mom heard us talking about baptism and started reciting prayers telling satan to get away from her son,,, sucky haha and then she threatened to kick him out and then he decided to wait to get baptized haha oh well next month :) haha
Oh and today the bus drivers did an Oaxaca blockade! which sucked because I went to visit my coverts and we ended up taking 3 special taxis (SUPER expensive) and walking for 3 hours to get back.. sucked I will send some pictures haha.
I am super happy!! I loved conference!! Kind of a temple theme ha? haha I loved President Packers talk, I honestly loved every talk!! I also loved the talk about how he said don't walk, run. Because honestly we shouldn't do anything half way. Average is the opposite of excellence. LOVED IT!!
Happy Easter! Chrsit is the son of God. He lives and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that he is the Christ. And I know he is my savior.
OH and also THAILANDS GETTING A TEMPLE!!!! :D So if you are serving a misison in Thailand you are amazing cough*Sister Holmes!!
Love you guys,
Elder Davenport
Yes we were excited to hear Conference too. Jeffrey Holland was a favorite of ours talking about the two brothers that saved each other's lives and how the Savior does the same for us. Thought about you throughout conference and was so happy for Sister Sam getting a new temple! Love you muchly, Grandmom and Grandpop - awaiting going to the MTC in two weeks!!
