April 5, 2010










Dear Family,
Wow this week was pretty crazy. It´s called Semana Santa. It´s really just another reason for people to drink and have vacations. It was really amazing watching the General Conference. It´s a lot different when you know about the scriptures they share. I learned so much. I only took 20 pages of notes this time :) I really liked how the whole conference focuse and families and strengthening the youth and children. It was amazing listening to the prophet´s voice again. It has a power that is very amazing. We´re preparing an investigator to be baptized this weekend. He´s really excited and we are too!!! Today was a really fun day. We had our zone activity and as you can see we went to some cascadas(waterfalls for you non-spanish speakers)!!! It´s about an hour long hike in there after all 20 of us traveled for an hour in the back of a small pick-up. It was way fun. We were literaly walking through the jungle and I took a ton of pictures. Well I love all of you. Can´t wait to write you next week.


Love,
Élder Hakes
