Hey mom and dad,Como estan? Well this weekend was awesome first the cultural event, held in the Aztec stadium. That was cool there were, im not sure, but probably 80,000-100,000 people there with almost all being members. When we first arrived it looked like it was going to rain but never did,hmmmm. It was about 2 1/2 hours long. First President Erying shared a message and then the prophet. He is sooo awesome. He sang a song in spanish that he learned in spanish class then said that is the first and the last time ill ever sing a song in a conference haha. Yeah then the event started it was a story of the history of mexico but with dances and video clips. While still relating to the church in mexico and to the restoration of the gospel. Then after that it ended with the theme of missionary work and about 1200 missionaries walked out singing called to serve. Oh and i saw Elder Curtis, wow he is huge, i got a picture with him. Then it ended and the rededication was the next day. That to was awesome When it was the prophets turn to speak he said that he saw that the clouds were gathering and it looked like it was going to rain, so he said a short simple prayer asking heavenly father to please keep the rain from interrupting with the event and that he was so thankful that God honored his request. That was awesome just the simple miracles that happen from the proper authority. But then he just commented how awesome the event was and how he wants everybody in the church to do the same sorts of things to create good memories for the youth. Then a few more messages were shared and then President Erying gave the shout and the prophet gave the prayer. There were two sessions, i went to the second. But yeah that was awesome. Thats about it for the weekend. With the stamps huh i dont what they are called they are just the normal 42 cent stamps or whatever they are. Tell everybody hi. Oh and tomorrow we have changes, im staying in my same area but im getting a new comp. named elder Trejo. Well see how he is tomorrow. Well i gotta go love you guys. And good luck with the house. Your son, Elder Crick

Hey,Wow things sound crazy . Oh yeah and David Fuentes haha he's a cool guy in my ward he's actually only like 23 but yeah he served in Arizona on his mission. I told him that he'll have to come visit when I get back. Oh and Josh Curtis yeah we have been working in the temple all week like different missions work diff days but one day we went to take a family and the South mission was there and I asked for Josh and they said that he worked the day before so I just barely missed him. But yeah not much new this week like literally we have been in the temple all week but yesterday was the last day and we were working I think about 15,000 came through yesterday. It was crazy but something different to do. The food is alright I miss some good American home cooking but it's all good. Well I don't really have anything else to say you'll just have to give me your opinion on Obama getting elected. We'll talk to you later. Love you guys. Elder Crick
