Yup. Definitely forgot there are Easter traditions like candy and egg hunts and all that. We were sorta busy trying to find people to teach haha.

Unfortunately President thought it prudent for us to only get mail every two weeks. This last week no packages came, so I´m assuming I´ll have a report on them in three more Mondays.....definitely docked his brownie points for that one....

Two things before I forget!

1) I´ve been in this sector for about 6 months, but it just occurred to me this week that we´re basically in D.C. We´ve got the president´s house literally on the other side of the ward/stake/mission boundaries! How cool is that?? It´s funny because in Chile EVERY house has a 6 foot fence where their property meets the sidewalk, EXCEPT the President´s House...go figure!

2) Apparently there´s an app called "What´sApp" (a messaging app) and if you download it (first year is free, every year after that is $1) you can message anyone in the world! So you could talk to the members here, if you wanted to :) Hno Jose R served in California and always speaks English with us (it´s like 98% perfect) so if you want to chat with him, his number is +569-------- Let me know if you do or don´t :) (you'll have to email Lecia and ask for his number if you have a burning desire to chat with Jose. llcrider@hotmail.com)

Re: school & work: I´m now used to getting very little sleep compared to before the mission - in fact, sometime I wake up at 6:30 or 7 and I´m ready to get the day started - so I wouldn´t have a problem getting up early to put in a few hours before work. I try to do a Sudoku every morning to help my brain wake up faster because I have a feeling life will have me putting in quite a few "overtime hours" my first year or so back. Dad´s looking into a few flexible hours jobs for me and he´s found some where I can utilize my Spanish (doesn´t being bilingual get you an automatic upperhand with most companies? Especially in AZ...) Come August/September I think we´ll have to start hammering out the details and getting some things set in stone for when I get back. Thoughts?

Lots of love,
