Nicky here. We had the week before Easter off of school and took full advantage of our time off. We spent the first few days going out with the missionaries; Benjamin with the elders and I went with the sisters. We were also invited by the mission president's wife to participate in a choir performance put on by all the missionaries in the mission. They needed more women's voices so several women from the stake so they asked me if I could join. I went to the rehearsal. All four of us went and Benjamin ended up joining in the rehearsal. It was a good thing he did because the tenors needed a little help. We sang at a meeting for new members, investigators and less active members on Good Friday. The next day we went to the big mall, Plaza las Americas, to the food court. There were about 170 of us sitting in groups of 8 all around the food court. Right at 12 noon one table of missionaries stood up and started singing 'Christ the Lord is Risen Today'. After a couple of measures, another group stands up. And so on until everyone was standing. It's called a flash mob. We sang the first verse of a few other hymns and then sat down. It was a fun experience to be with so many missionaries and sharing our testimonies of the resurrection through music. It is easy to be involved in church activities and service here in Puerto Rico where the church is small. It's been a great blessing for us.

We also spent some time that week at the beach and playing in the water of a broken fire hydrant right by our house. We really had a great time beating the heat. Sylvia loves the beach too. We went three afternoons in a row. She couldn't get enough.

We also took a little trip around the island over the weekend. We went to two of the areas where Benjamin served while he was here as a missionary. We stopped by a couple of houses and saw some people that he knew. It was really great. I only wish I had my camera with me. We didn't really plan the trip...we just left the house and drove.

We've only got a few weeks of classes left. It's amazing how fast this year has gone.
