Milagros and Changes

YoyoyoyoyoYOYOYOYOYOy guysssssssssssssssssssssss.. This wwereeekkk wass craazzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. If you're seeing those those fotos above, you'll see wee got some baptisms! Woo!!! Everything went well and Alma, Patricia, Kevin, and Nicol were all baptized. It took a LOT of work and a lot of prayers, but it all worked out. They were all confirmed yesterday. Really just a fantastic week.
     To to start out this email, I'm gonna talk about all of the craziness that was Saturday. So in order for someone to get baptized, they need to be interviewed by your district leader or your zone leader if you are the district leader. So I was on divisions with our Zone Leaders to interview Nicol and Kevin Saturday morning. All was swell in the morning. We woke up, punched Shaun T in the face, planned, studied, made some goals, and were cheerfully walking to the church to fill the baptism font and do the interviews. We merrily walked to the baptism font to fill it up, and to our despise there was no water. I repeat, there was NO WATER. Our mission president once told us, "Pacience is hiding your impaciencie". We'll just say that I was hiding quite a bit of impaciencie ðŸ˜‚. But in the end, after a lot of prayer and hard work, our branch president was able to find a plumber guy to fix the water and everyone was baptized. I had the opportunidad to baptize Patricia and Alma. Elder Prado was going to, but we just simply didn¡t have enough baptism clothes hahaha. The baptism was awwweeesommmeee. Super spiritual. Patricia and Alma are especially super excited.
     We have changes tomorrow! I've been here for 4 months and I will be leaving tomorrow. I'm going to an area called Villa Rica and it's pretty darn far away...like 3 hours. I'm SUPER PUMPED GUYS. Like low key we just had a bunch of baptisms and now literally nothing is happening in our area, so it's a great time to change ðŸ˜‚. My companion's name is Elder Jensen. I haven't had an American companion for like 7 months, so I'm pretty excited. We also have an area called Paso Yobai in our district, which has BICYCLES IN THEIR AREA. So I'll definitely be going on divisions to rocking it on 2 wheels. Life is pretty great.
     My time here in Paso de Oro has just FLOWN by. This last week was sooooooooooo crazzyyyyyyyyy. I had so much to do every single day, espeically this week. I can't believe I'm already leaving. I heard that Villa Rica is like a super pretty city but also kinda campaña with nothing it, so I'm sure I'll love it. 
     So if any of you didn't know, I've been reading all of the New Testament. It's been awesome reading about Jesus and his apostles and stuff, but I just recently finished, and the last book is Revelations. Guys, I swear I was reading a Harry Potter book or something....what the heck is going on in Revelations??? I was reading about people killing a dragon and beasts with 7 wings and just a bunch of crazy stuff. If any of you have ideas, please let me know. Thank you.
     But this email is already too long. Life is all great here in Paraguay. Super excited for changes. Church is true. HAVE A GREAT WEEK YA'LLL!!!

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...
