They broadcast conference here to every chapel and the ward watches all 5 sessions on a projector because they don't have it showing on T.V. The only ways to watch it are from internet. I would love to talk to the missionaries there in Utah.. they have no idea how easy they have it. They don't have Easter here. they have something called La Semana Santa the sacred week. It's actually a Catholic holiday but the Catholic influence is soo strong here that everybody celebrates it. They take a week and a half out of school and the Catholics' dress up every night in a white robe and walk down the street carying a cross.. and everybody has crosses in their front yards and they don't eat meat or something.. it's weird but yeah they don't really have Easter this is the closest thing they have. I don't know the results of the skin test yet I will have to go there tomorrow I think (They are checking for skin cancer). My new area is great we have about 10 baptisms set up for next month so we will see what happens!
  Just a little story that was sent to me from the mission president!

March 31st, 2015 (InsideCostaRica.com) An early morning earthquake that struck two kilometers north of Vara Blanca, Heredia, produced more than 70 aftershocks, according to the National Seismological and Volcanological Observatory (OVSICORI).

 The initial quake, measuring 4.6-magnitude on the Richter scale, struck at 3:09 a.m. Aftershocks continued until 5:17 a.m., according to OVSICORI.

 Significant shaking was reported in various sectors of Heredia, as well as in Naranjo, La Garita, El Coyal and Poas in Alajuela, and the western San Jose suburbs of Escazu and Santa Ana.
 There were no reports of injury or damage.
 
 Happy Easter from Costa Rica
