So what a crazy week. semana santa. so this week was so hard. cause my ankle is just getting worse. haha yeah. so thats fun. but other than that working hard... kinda. haha

semana santa starts thursdays well its all week. but the people stop working and no school Thursday.. and everyone is gone. none in the street. no one is in their houses. or if they are its with tons of people and it was so hard. 1 lesson. hahaha yeah.  viernes. is the day Jesus died. so there is no one in the street. the people are just sad and quiet all day. in the night they meet together for something I don't know what its called. but its honestly like a parade. where the people carry giant floats of Jesus's body when he died. and Mary. and john the apostle and the other mary. and all the people meet and watch. it was cool. a catholic thing. but i felt the spirit cause i was thinking of what Jesus did for me and how he died. what an amazing sacrifice. i feel so much more love for him now. saturday. was just kinda normal. still a holiday so not many people. and Sunday. the day Jesus rose from the dead. the day he conquered death. wow. ive never understood easter until now. what an amazing day. sacrament was so amazing. the spirit was so strong. after church. we went to juanitas house and watch the movie the testaments with her. she is my rc. it was great. we got invited to an easter party. but we missed the bus. and we couldnt go so we went home to rest my foot. cause its so much more swollen. hah it hurts.

 so look up this scripture... this will explain how i feel every night here in costa rica.    Isaiah 28:20 hahahhaahaha cada dia.

i have an addiction. i drink more than a liter of tang every morning the flaver gunanabana or something like that. haha i cant say it and all the latinos think its funny when i try. hahaha oh well.

this week was hard. it really was. i struggled. walking a lot with my bad leg. its just getting worse. and i fell again. haha. but i know this is where i need to be. and i know god loves me. and that he is proud of the work i am doing. and even when im sad i miss home. and i am struggling. i know this is where god needs me. im doing the work jesus would do if he could. if youve watched the news. you know the second coming. is well. coming. 4 earthquakes in latin america.! 4 we are preparing for one here. a strong one i think. we have little ones all the time. thats not new. but im safe. and protected. and i have the power to control the earth and move mountains. if i need to.. god has my back cause i have his. and i love it.

 This week. i wanted to come home. but i have so much more to do here. i love you all. i love the work. when we give anything. it will always come back to us. much better than before. thats how god works. he is just waiting to bless us. he is our father in heaven! and when its hard give thanks. show god you always trust in him. thats all i have right now. him. i dont know anything else. i am in a strange place with new people. and i know. everything will be alright. and i feel peace. i struggle. but i know he is always with me. i love you all. love elder Jordan Evans
