Holidays

Hola,

Well, another week has come and gone.  This week we had the holiest day in Mexico, the birthday of the Mexican mother of Christ.  This year the party was actually pretty calm.  Last year we had to be in our house at 6, this year we went to the super Catholic town in our area at about 7.  There were people partying, but nothing like last year.

As far as news goes, there's not too much to report.  And I don't have too much time, so it's going to be a quick one.  We found a couple new investigators in said Catholic town, Cocotitlan.  One in particular, Arely, is pretty golden.  She accepted the Restoration pretty well, and we'll see what happens with her.  Other than that, we had the dedication of the Tijuana temple this Sunday instead of the normal services.  The cultural ceremony was a bit unorganized, but they seemed to have fun doing it, which is good I guess.  The actual dedication was good.  President Uchtdorf and Elder Oaks came to do it.  All in all it was a good dedication. 

That's about it for news from here.  I hope you have a nice Christmas break.  I still don't know where/when I will be calling on Christmas, but I'll let you know.  

I love you, and I'll write you next week.

Love,

Elder Samuel Long
