Dear Mom,

We get however much time we need but we also want/need to do lots of other things too, at the beginning of p-days we drop our clothes off to be cleaned, play soccer for 2 hours, eat, write, shop, and thats about it... I read all my letters online, and dont really need them printed off or anything like that. Elder Gutierrez from Querétaro, Mexico. Elder Vasquez from Maryland. Elder Flores from Mexico City, Mexico. Cambios (changes) happen every 6 weeks but you dont ever know if you are going or staying. Dont know when Zone conferences are for sure but it is like every 3-6 months or something like that.... I have no idea what the street names are around you, We are not really by the chapel but if you see a bridge go that direction and we actually live in a house a block away from a big Catholic church and a park. HAHAHA you dont have to buy all the movies just make a list of the good ones and I will rent them or something when I get back. Sounds like you had a good Anniversary :) glad for that, and I date all my letters I send her. I am taking pictures but not a ton because there isnt really things to take pictures of... hahahaha
Sounds like your Easter was pretty good, glad we got a new Wii and it will probably be a lot better than the one we used to have... hahaha you should have gotten an X-Box though ;) hahahahaha Glad you had a good dinner and had fun with Grandma and Grandpa and Shelly. There is a good 40-50 members in our ward and we are only over one ward, we have a pretty small area. I am in Veracruz and I am pretty much the farthest away that you can be in the mission.

This Cambio we got a new elder in the house. I bought a toaster for 95 pesos which is like 8ish dollars. So I have had toast throughout this week and it was awesome!!! hahahaha the only thing that is lacking is a good frozen glass of milk. :/ This week while we were walking around I nailed my head on a metal covering for something, none of the other houses have it and I was looking away talking to my companion, I got a nice goose egg and a permanent headache throughout the week. You should get a picture of it. Also have done a lot of service this week, around two and a half days worth. The first day I destroyed my hands with a sledgehammer!!! I got 6 blisters and the Mexicans all laughed at me and they think that this is the first time I have ever done work like that before. It was kinda frustrating cause I couldnt really explain to them that I just spent two months in the MTC and I left during the winter when we dont do work like that because there is snow on the ground. hahahaha oh well. hahaha Their version of Easter is call ´´Semana Santa´´ which means holy week, They get work and school off for two weeks to ´´celebrate´´ the week before and after Christ´s resurrection. They also all go on vacation, so really nobody was here, all the shops were closed and we really didnt do too much this week... This week will pretty much be the same too because this is the final week.

Don´t know about Mother´s Day because appartently here Mothers Day is on the 10th and in America my calendar says it is on the 8th. So I really dont know about that. I know it can be a 30-40 minute call, but I dont know what day or when in that day for sure.... hahahaha :/ I have been trying to figure it our for about a week so we could figure something out...

Well thats about it, Love you guys!!!! and miss you !!!!!
Love Bud,

p.s. I cant believe I am missing Jessica in glasses, she looks.... awesome in that picture hahahah I want to see one when she is all dressed up too, But the picture of the Easter dresses, i thought to myself... it is a good thing I am getting back when she turns 16, because the boys are going to be all over her!!! hahahaha I will also have a machete too :)
