New companion: Elder Prado!

Woooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhaaaaaaaattt is up y'all. How was your week? Good? Good. Me and Elder Prado are just out here in Paraguay baptizing the WORLD so I guess you could say we're doing pretty good as well.
     This week awesome. We talked to billions of people and baptized all of them. Legit we had to go to the ocean to fit them all! It was crazy. Not but on the reals this week was pretty good. We talked to a lot of people and really found a lot of awesome people to teach. We've been visiting a bunch of members lately and getting a lot of references and we're super excited to work with them.
     I got a new companion, so I've been guiding the area to Elder Prado and it's been pretty rough, not gonna lie ðŸ˜‚. We low key got like super lost a couple of days, but we eventually found all of our appointments and didn't die, so I guess you could say we were successful. Elder Prado is a baller. He's from Argentina and he's the man. He only has a month and a half on the mish but he already knows how to do everything and even speaks perfect spanish! His favorite sport is basketball and we're gonna slay it this transfer.
     We made some pretty bomb goals this transfer. I'm gonna do Insanity every day from Tuesday - Saturday and Shaun T is gonna flip his bucket when he sees how ripped I am. I'm also gonna try and eat healthier, because Elder Prado says if you eat healthier you'll be less tired. I call balogne, but I guess we'll give it a shot.
     So I totally forgot to take a picture, but my companion Elder Prado has a tooth problem and I'm a little worried. I guess his tooth like literally snapped in half somehow, and so we're going to the dentist tomorrow to go check it out. We called the office and they said usually the person needs a surgery and the recovery can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 months, so let's hope that I'm not getting a new companion soon ðŸ˜—.
     This week I've learned a ton about the Holy Ghost and how much of an influence it has in our lives. If we keep the commandments we are promised to have the Spirit help guide our lives and wow it's such a blessing. Being a missionary is super hard, but really it feels like a I'm living another life because we're so close to our Heavenly Father when we're serving him. So ya'll should keep the commandments and repent if you're not. KEEP THE SPIRIT.
     That's all for this week. I'll tell ya'll what happens with Elder Prado's tooth and all of our crazy adventures next week. But until then I hope you all have a bombtastic week. LOVE ALL OF YOU!

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...
