Welp.

Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,

So, as you can read from the title, we definitely didn't have a baptism...BUT, it's all good, becaAUUUSEEE as you can see from the picture, I FOUND CUP OF NOODLESS!!!! But in all seriousness, I'm super bummed the baptism didn't follow through. Here's how it went down:

On Friday we went to the church and cleaned out the baptism font which took forEVVERRR (like 3 or 4 hours) because the drainage thing doesn't work so we had to dump out water with a bucket and it takes forever. We also invited a LOT of people to the baptism and we were super excited because Obrero hasn't had a baptism in like 7 months. Then Saturday comes around and we finished filling the font with water in the morning and we were super prepared. We went over to Ezequiel's house at like 2ish just to make sure everything is all good and when we got there he was super excited for his baptism so we thought everything was good. We went over to the church at 5:30 (The baptism was supposed to start at 6:00) and we made sure everything was ready. We had already planned people to speak and hymns to play and everything. Then 6:00 rolls around and of course nobody is still there because Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Standard Time. But 6:15 rolls around a bunch of members showed up, including a bunch who brought food and cake and stuff to eat afterwards and everyones asking, "Where's Ezequiel???" So we went over to Ezequiel's house and he wasn't home and his family had no idea where he was so yeah just like that the baptism was cancelled. BUT, we did get to enjoy empanadas later that night, so it wasn't all too bad. We're planning on talking to Ezequiel tomorrow to see what's up.



But other than that, not a ton happened this week. We have a list of members and we really made an effort to visit a bunch of the inactive ones and not one of them wanted to talk to us. So that was fun. But yeeeeeeeeah. We're gonna find some awesome people to teach this week, I can feel it. Hope you all have a bomb 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...
