Four Gringos is Even Better

     Hooooooooowwwwwwwwwsssssss iiittt ggoooinnnnggggg eevverrryyonnee???????????????????????????

     THIS week was pretty LOONG to say the least 😂. I don't know why, but I felt like this whole week was longer than all of last transfer. We divided the people that me and Elder Jensen were teaching in half, but all of the people that Elder Smith and I picked all disappeared. So we're basically starting from scratch again. Life is pretty great. But hey, we're gonna commit like 100 people to baptism this week, so watch out for my next email.
     So first of all, I had to take a bus to go to Asuncion to go get Elder Smith. That was WEEIIRRDD. I took a 4 hour bus ride along with a 30 minute taxi ride....ALONE. I haven't spent that much time with myself since I've been on the mission. So that was whack. Got Elder Smith from the office and the next day I took another 4 hour bus and we got home. He's super cool. He's knows a LOT of spanish. Like way more than I knew when I started my mission. He's actually from Sandy UT as well, but he went to Alta because he's a loser. But we get along well.
     I won't lie, it's pretty darn fun living with 4 elders in the same house. It's like every night is a party 😂. We celebrated Elder Jensen and Sutton's birthday a few days ago. Totally don't have pictures, but we got big balloons and candles and cake and it was pretty great.
     Yeah, I'm sorry I literally have like absolutely nothing exciting to talk about this week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But life is swell. Church is true. Gospel is AWESOME. Live it. Cherish it. Love it. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

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...
