Tranquilo!

Hey guys!!

So woot woot I actually have time to write and put pictures in now! This week was definitely a lot more relaxing than the last one haha. 

So first of all, all of the members here are AWESOME! We have lunches every day and a lot of time people want to give us dinner too haha. There's a bunch of members that love taking pictures of me and my companion and then they send them to my mom and I KNOW she loves that. A lot of them also give us referrals a lot so we always have a lot of people to visit which is always good.

Right now we have one investigator with a baptism date and his name is Ezequiel. He's 12 and he's awesome. He went to church yesterday and really wants to get baptized. I guess the missionaries in Obrero have already taught him all of the lessons, the only hard part is getting a signature from his dad. I guess his dad is SUPER Catholic and doesn't want nada from us. PERO, we talked to our mission leader in the branch and apparently he knows Ezequiel's dad, so he's gonna talk to him and I think we'll get a signature and have a baptism! I guess Obrero hasn't had a convert baptism in like 7 months so we're definitely gonna change that.

Me and Elder Gomes are getting along juuuuuusttt fine. It's super goofy because he's from Brazil and is still learning Spanish, so a lot of times he'll be speaking some Portugese words that I don't know and I won't really understand him and it takes a while but it's ALL GOOD. He really wants to learn English so we've actually been speaking a ton of English lately and it's super fun. I've met a ton of people here in Obrero that speak English and it has been super fun talking to them.

It's been super hard to find new people for us lately because it has been SO hot and SO humid lately, but we're out here perseverando hasta el fin. I hit 6 months in 3 days which is completely crazy. The time has gone by soooooo slow but at the same time soooo fast. It's hard to explain. But I'll be burning a tie (obviously) so look out for that picture next week.

I also got a new camera so woot woot for pictures again. It's almost the same as my old one.

Spiritual note - I'm reading the BoM in Spanish right now and it's AWESOME. I just read 2 Nephi 4 a few days ago and it's now one of my favorite, if not MY favorite chapter. It talks a lot about repentance and sinning and overcoming that. I would highly recommend reading it (maybe not in Spanish, but).

But that's all I got for this week. Have a ton of pictures this week so yay. But hope you all have a great week! Church is true! Keep the Commandments! Chao.

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...
