Out Four Months Today - Cuatro Meses Hoy

This was Elder Read four months ago today!  Fue Elder Read hace cuatro meses hoy!
How time flies. We still miss him of course, but he's doing the Lord's work and working extremely hard, with two more baptisms coming up shortly.

Here are a couple of photos of la Samana Santa - Holy Week - actually taken by Sister Deere, wife of the Mission President, with her captions:
Here's a very brief glimpse of Semana Santa in Spain.  There are processions everywhere, and we went to see this one in Malaga. These robes and tall pointed hats represent the penitent, and some wearers walk barefoot or carry chains or shackles. 

The processions have representations of Mary, and of Christ on the cross.  It seems all of Spain this week was sitting downtown watching a procession every day.  This "trono", (float or throne) was carried by about 50 men, and it swayed with each step they took.  The tronos can weigh up to 5,000 kilos.

Elder Read and Elder Rodriguez were too busy to see any processions in Huelva.

Traduciré el resto mas tarde porque tengo que visitar una española con los misioneros.
