I love teaching 9-year-olds!

 Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yaaaaaaaaaa'''''''''''lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. How was your week? Hot? Guess what....IT WAS HOT HERE TOO. Yeah, ya know how it's like...supposed to be winter here? Yeah, it was like easily 90 degrees all week. But luckily I'm already used to being super hot all of the time because I am, so it was able to stand it. But on the realsies, this week was AMAZING GUYSSSS. We saw MORE MIRACLES!! I know! It's been crazy. We've had like 3 awesome weeks in a row, which is crazy. Yesterday this inactive family went to church and they hadn't gone for a loooooooooong time. They had a baby who died and they were just super traumatized from that and we visited them and talked about the plan of salvation and they just felt the spirit so strongly and it was awesome. They have 2 kids(who are older than 8 woo woo) who aren't baptized so we'll be visiting them :D. So this week was pretty fantastic.
     We've been teaching this 9 year old Lujan and I know I talked about her last email but oooooh myyy gooodnesss she's so funny. It is by far our favorite visit of the day ğŸ˜‚. Yesterday we were talking about the importance of going to church and she was like 'I have a confession. I think sacrament is really boring but I LOOOVEEE PRIMAARRYYYY! We sing and draw and do all of these fun things. During sacrament I just sit there and listen and listen and listen.?' She's so funny. If know a bunch of dumb magic tricks with pens and rings and stuff and I always show it to them and it's just all great guys. I love em. They always make us food. Lujan's getting baptized on the 24th so keep the Familia Sanabria in your prayers.
     So I came out here on August 28th 2018 and I go home a little early (August 11th, 2020) because I had 6 weeks in the MTC, so yesterday I basically hit a year! It's been CRAZY. Time flies by so fast guys. I remember giving my farewell talk having NO IDEA what I was doing or talking about, and now here I am, teaching multiple people every day about the Gospel in SPANISH. It's wild.
     I feel like I officially know spanish now guys. Like I can talk to people and kinda zone out and still know what they're saying. I still have a super gringo accent and sometimes people can't understand me, but we're getting there :D.
     But yeah, this week was pretty fantastic! We're teaching a ton of awesome people. It's possible we'll have a baptism 3 weeks in the row, which would be incredible. I'll keep ya'll updated on them NEXT WEEEK WOOOO. Also I remembered my camera and stuff so here's those photos. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

p1 - The district
p2 - The dentist
p3 - Went on divisions with my man Elder Haws in his area. He's a baller.
p4 - This is a normal bus. Normally there's a ton of people and gotta walk through all of them and it sucks. I love it.

My Mission Is Over. See Y'All Soon

Hey guys! So I'm sure you all already know/have heard stuff about missionaries going home and stuff and yup, you read that title right. All Elders from the United States that have 18 or more months in the mission will be released. I currently have 18 months and something days, so I will be in that group. This last week has been crazy. We're closing our houses and everything. My Brazilian companion will be going home tomorrow and be with his family. We still don't know when all the gringos are going home. We've been told that in less than 2 weeks. But wow, this is just craziness. I'm super grateful for the chance I've had to serve and be here in Paraguay. I know that these are some trialing times right now for some people but just follow Christ and all will be good. I know that the church is true. The Book of Mormon is true. If it wasn't, there's NO FREAKING WAY that I would spend almost 19 months of my life telling people it is. I'm pumped for c...

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...

Zone Conference!

Hey hey hey evverryyonee. What's up? Oh me? I'm doing great. I hope you all know that we finished those 14 liters of soda yesterday. And yes, every liter was worth it.      We totally had a zone conference with a General Authority named Elder Villar on Thursday and that was pretty amazing. He talked a lot about how missionary work is really just loving and ministering one another.  https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=7IRSt0xa4D4  That video is pretty awesome, you should watch it. Like, I definitely realized that the MEMBERS can be even BETTER missionaries than us! Just show the example, invite people to activities, be cool, idk. The church is awesome! Was a great conference. I also got to see the majority of my companions which was kinda cool.      It was hot EVERY single day this week. Ya know, I really thought the cold was coming, but I guess not :(. So I put on sunscreen every day, and I know that I'm not getting burnt because I know how sunb...
