Bipolar Weather

Yooooooooooooooooooo guys. I'd like to start off this email by saying that I'm super hungry and my muscles are sore from doing Insanity every day. Especially my legs.
     This week was pretty wild. And by wild I mean pretty boring lol. The weather here legit is whack. Last Monday it was pretty tranquilo and warmish but then BAM, Tuesday hit. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold guys. Legit Elder Prado and I were jumping up and down in our sweaters it was so cold. We were just clapping from house to house and the only people that would listen to us were girls with no hombre in the house. And as many of you know, we're not allowed to go into houses if there ain't no hombre in there, so we were walkin around for like TWO HOURS in the cold. But I bought a 2 liter of Coke the day before, so life was all good.
     My companion says that I eat very unhealthily and I simply just don't understand. For example, this morning we woke up and we were getting ready to plan and I grabbed myself a cup of Frosted Flakes with a cup of Coca Cola to compliment. 2 days ago I ate popcorn with condensed and sweetened milk with Sprite for dinner and I felt very satisfied afterwards. As you can see from the first picture above, I made myself some BOMB fried potatoes with some Coke AND green apple slices. It was amazing.
     This week nobody we're teaching went to church and we have nobody with a baptism date, so I guess you could say life is pretty great ðŸ˜‚. But on the realsies we made some Big Boy goals this week to get some people dunked this month. One thing that's super hard to do is teach Members. We have a goal to visit a lot of members for 15 minutes each and invite the Spirit and ask for referrals. The problem is that members like to TALK and TALK and TAAALLLKKKK. We'll ask some simple question like "How has prayer helped you in your life?" and they'll give us a 20 minute story of their life and how they were converted to the church and what their favorite food is and how they've been losing weight recently and been looking for an orthodonist because their teeth are really janked up and all these shenanigans. I'm just trynna find people to teach! But sometimes we actually do get good referrals and find people that are READY to be taught.
     This week I learned a lot about la diligencia. Or diligence, for all of you are lame and don't know spanish (that was a joke I still don't know spanish oops). Me and Elder Prado have been workin like CRAZZZYYY. We only found 5 new people to teach until Sunday, which is a lot less than our goal of 18 for the week. It would have been really easy to be lazy on Sunday and say 'eh, we'll get it next week', but we worked hard yesterday and foun 9 new people to teach in 1 day! So if anything is hard in life, like maybe you're doing Insanity and getting no results and are still really skinny, just keep trying! I have faith in you all.
     But that's pretty much it. I hope you all have a fantastic week and eat a lot of KFC and drink a lot of Dr. Pepper for me. Love ya'll.

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...
