Villarica!

What is UPPPP everrryonnneee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How's it goinnggg!!!??? How am I? Oh ya know, pretty fanFREAKINGtastic! Just finished my first week in Villarrica and it's just wonderful. TOTALLY forgot to take pictures, but it's like this really nice clean city, but it's also a little campaña(fields n stuff). It's giGANTIC. I think if you look at our WHOLE area, it would be about 100x bigger than my last area (not even kidding), but we work almost solely in this area around the city where the church is, and even that is like 5x bigger than my last area. It's ridiculous. But hey, I like walking anyways.
     Everyone here in Villarrica is CRAZY nice. Like it's actually so weird how different the people are here compared to Asuncion. I'm used to "Otro día" at least 20 times a day, but guess how many times I've been told "Otro día" in Villarrica? NUNCA! I am yet to get rejected here like that. Like yeah, everyone is Catholic and not ready for the Gospel, but they're all SUPER friendly to us. It's amazing. It's a little tough because we have a goal to talk to a certain amount of people every week (140) and it's been way harder to hit it now that everyone wants to talk to us. But I got faith.
     I FINALLY HAVE AN AMERICAN COMPANION. After like 7 months hahaha. My companion is Elder Jensen. He just got here to Paraguay 6 weeks ago so I'm finishin his training and he's just awesome. He's my very first white companion, so that's pretty cool. We also both have blue eyes, so we're REAL strangers here in Paraguay. It's really helped me a lot to have an American companion who doesn't know Spanish because a lot of times I zone out when I talk to people and just hope my companion has got me, BUT  JOKES ON ME, THAT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. So I'm learning to ALWAYS be paying attention. Pretty sure I have ADHD or something....
     Unfortunately, nothing too crazy is happening here in Villarrica. I feel like every area I go to nothing is happening when I arrive 😂. But we're gonna change that! We found a lot of awesome people this past week and the Spirit told me that all of them are gonna be baptized, so I'm super excited. Also, did you guys know that General Conference is in 3 weeks? ARE YA'LL EXCITED!!!?????? I'm pretty pumped. 
     Also do you guys know what else is coming up?....CHRISTMAS. Yeah, so I know it's September, but like that means it's basically Christmas time. Ya'll already know I'm already listening to Christmas music :D. So just a bunch of exciting things are happening. Life is great.
     But hey, I sincerely apoligize for having like no photos this week of Villarrica R.I.P. But next week for sure. The chuch is true. Always be worthy to listen to the Spirit. HOpe you all have a fanTASTIC WEEK. CHAAAAAAOOOOOO.

p1 - sour cream
p2 - chaaoooo elder prado
p3 - Familia Sanabria (baptized the 9 yo Lujan)
p4 - Familia Britez (baptized Kevin and Luz, the 9 and 12 year olds)
p5 - sad because I wasn't able to visit the familia Oviedo one more time. We baptized Patricia and Alma

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...
