Cangrejo!! A member fed us a ton of crab! It was so good!




This is what CANCUN REALLY LOOKS LIKE!!! This is the CITY of Cancun... what 99 percent of the world sees is just the island with the hotels... THIS is real Cancun!





March 29

"Well this week has been ... well, a week... haha. We had our ups and downs... its just gettin really hard cuz we have tons of investigators which is awesome but it also means that some fall and some progress.. it´s really hard to see them not accept or fall back in to old habits... I can sympathize with Alma and Moroni now when they were sad for the wickedness of the people.. on a much smaller level though... haha But yeah we also had some really cool experiences... the other day we were going through a box of records of ex investigators and we felt like we should contact one of them... her name is Rosa... when she came to the door her eyes got bright and she said ELDERS!!! Apparently she was going to get baptized but then the changes happened and somehow the new elders never contacted her... this was two and a half years ago... she started crying and said that she has been going to a Christian church and that she is really confused.. she also said that when she is going through hard times she reads the Book of Mormon... we tesfified to her and asked to come back.. she of course accpeted and we´re way excited... also this guy on a bike came up to us to ask us about our church.. so the Lord really is preparing people for us and guiding us each day... its cool to see but frustrating to see our other struggling investigators too... this one couple we´re teaching didn't come cuz the wife didnt have shoes only flip flops ...... wow... it is so frustrating... this weekend was terrible!!! I´m pretty sure the entire country was drunk this weekend... grrr... But yeah, other than that all is good...
I almost forgot... so turns out I picked up some sort of virus that causes an inflammation of the sternum where the ribs connect... so all my ribs feel like they´re being pulled out of my breast bone!! It's fantastic!! The doc gave me some pills and its gettin better...

So, the changes are Sunday night the 4th!!! AAAAAGHH!!!! I so don't want to leave!!! We have like 5 baptisms set for the day of my birthday! It would so not be cool if I got changed!!! ... grrr So I´m kinda worried about that... But, all is well.. just workin our butts off!!!"
Love,
Elder Eddingotn
