Week #3: Halfway done!

Wassup guys!!!

So this email is a little earlier because we are going to the temple in a little over an hour from now. I am SO excited. Not only because the temple will be cool and all, but I'm gonna get a new sick tie hahaha.

Two nights ago, Elder Frost's stomach was feeling really sick, and he was up all night throwing up like crazy, unfortunately. He woke us all up (Elder Robinson and Elder Sapp are in the same room as us) at 1:30 am and asked for a Priesthood blessing. We had Elder Sapp anoint the oil, and then I gave him a blessing. It was super scary because I had never done a blessing before, and I said a quick prayer right before to ask God to give me help in knowing what to say. It was only about a 45-second blessing, but I think it helped him a lot. He was able to sleep the rest of the night, but still felt sick in the morning. We went to the infirmary, and they told us to just relax and gave him some medicine. The cool thing is that the doctor said that he would for sure have to stay in home today too, but he's feeling much better today, so we can visit the temple!

My Spanish still isn't the best, and the food is still the same. I'm still learning a lot, of course, but I'm honestly ready to go to Paraguay at this point.

I'll definitely have some pictures next week of Mexico and stuff, but for this week I apologize if they're boring. Last week I got 'complaints' that I wasn't in any of the pictures, so I thought it would appropriate if the pictures were of me pointing at things.

Sorry if this email was boring, but there's not much to talk about. I love you all and hope you have a great week

Heaven help this kid's English, deteriorating right before my eyes. You'd think he was learning Spanish or something.

Hey Mom! Hahaha I'm so happy my picture with the cat is popular. I thought it was super funny when we took it. We were teaching a menos activo member and he had these little cats jump up on us during the lesson. So we have 'interviews' with President every transfer to make sure everythings good, and we had ours this week and President told me that I'm almost for sure going somewhere this transfer. He didn't know where yet but just told me I was leaving. I personally think it would be super fun to go somewhere super far away like in Zone 9 or something. The farthest area away is called Campo Nueva and I kinda wanna go there haha. But I don't have a huge preference. Also MOM. On my last transfer I am FOR SURE gonna try to make everyone feel trunky!!! That's the funnest part of leaving!!  1. No she didn't. We had a really good lesson with her a few days ago with a few members and it was awesome. She's still trying to read and pray to...

Falam Portugues?

Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy everrryybbooddyyy!!!! Voces falam portugues? Está bem! Eu tambem nao. Mas vou seguir aprendendo kkkkkkkkkkk.      So we had transfers and I'm back here with my boy Elder Rodrigues and we're just having a grand ol' time here in the Floresta. I remember my first week here I had to adjust quite a bit. In Villarrica the people are super nice, but here they're a little more frío. So Elder Rodrigues kinda had to go through that same adjustment. But I think he's doing pretty good now.      I'm pretty glad that Elder Rodrigues is here with me. Last transfer my companion didn't drink any soda and only ate out once a week, but now we're back to eating out every day except Sunday and drinking soda for personal study in the morning, so life is good. I honestly have NO idea how I have not gained weight since I've been here. I checked my weight actually a few weeks ago, and I'm still sitting at the same 160 pounds of skin and bone tha...

The Prophet Was Right!

What the heck happened guys??? Last week was super chill, but then all of a sudden BAM I feel like we're in an apocalypse or something. IN JUST ONE WEEK! WHAT THE HECK?      So I'd first like to state that the majority of people here in Paraguay hear about the news about something and that's the ONLY thing they talk about. So if something happens, pretty much EVERYONE tells us about it. Members, non members, everyone. So we'd been aware of the Corona Virus for quite some time. But really I didn't think it was a big deal haha. Then on tuesday night we get this message from our president saying, "Due to the Corona Virus, there will be no church meetings of any kind for 2 weeks. No sacrament meeting. No district councils. NADA." WHATTTT yYOU GOTTA BE KIDDING MEE?? HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE A MISSIONARY WITHOUT A CHURCH??? This week was crazy!      So if any of you are wondering how the people are doing here in Paraguay, everyone is pr...
