Happy Easter too! Kat told me that the Easter egg hunt wasn´t nearly as fun with these two youngsters. They lack the "fire" so to speak. I´ll whup them into shape when I get home, don´t worry. I have a reputation to keep as the reigning Easter egg champion!
The work here is going great! As a zone we achieved 11 confirmations this month and our goal was 10, so we are very proud of ourselves and are gearing up to do even better in April! I love my zone! The elders are great and work hard. My companion and I had four confirmations yesterday so we are doing great work as well. He is excellent. We have lots of fun together. President Heyman congratulated me during the interviews this week for how well the zone is doing. He says he´s grateful for the work we do and complimented me on doing such a great job with the zone. There isn´t much time left so I want to keep doing better to leave a good legacy! It´s a fantastic area with great members and lots of prepared people to hear and accept the message of the restored gospel!
On a fun note, today we went to LA CRUZ DE SANTA ANA (look it up on google, it is called Parque tematico de la cruz Santa Ana) and enjoyed ourselves. Just my companion and I. I honestly can´t believe that we are already in April! I don´t know what we´ll do for my birthday. Members will probably make me a cake and we´ll have a little party. (don´t want to use too much time to break because time is getting short) :)

I finished the Book of Mormon in Spanish today. I read it all the way through, cover to cover. It is interesting to see the differences in the translation and the words that are used. It is an added blessing to know two languages because if I don't understand a word or phrase in English I can look it up in Spanish, and vice versa. The Book of Mormon is true. There is no way a man could have written it. It was revelation given to prophets on this continent anciently and was translated by Joseph Smith. Anyone who follows the invitation given at the beginning of the book that invites us to read, ponder, and ask God if it is true will gain a testimony. I know it! I have tried it many times. I´ve read the Book of Mormon over 5 times on my mission. I love it! It doesn´t matter what others may do to try and defame it or tear it apart -- it won´t work!
So you got the travel plans! Could you forward me the message so that I, too, can see? I will have exactly two years of mission time, almost to the hour! Exactly two years from the time that I left home I will get there again! Cool! They can´t steal any time from me! If I am correct, the five of us that get to salt lake together are Elders Evanson, Dallimore, Staker, Biggs, and Christensen. Is that right?
Have a fantastic week! I love you so much mom! I am very healthy and am tearing it up! "Ain´t nothin gonna break my stride, I´m runnin and I wont slow down, oh no, I´ve got to keep on moving!" ;) BIGGS hugs and kisses!
your sunshiney son,
Elder M. Biggs
