Why don't people go to church?

So if you're reading that title right, you're noticing that NOBODY FLIPPING WENT TO CHURCH AGAIN!!!!!! What the heck man! Why is it so hard? Think about it...you get up just a little early and go to this place for just 2 short hours and keep all of the commandments and BAM, you're saved and go to the celestial kingdom. You'd think it would be more easy.
     Anyways, WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTSSSS UUUPPP YAAA'LLLLLLL. This week was pretty swell. We found a lot of really cool people to teach. By that, I mean that we're teaching like 5 people, which is like 5 more than we've been teaching since my time here in Villarrica. So that's pretty cool.
     Man, ya know I'm really trying to think of anything creative or exciting to put on this email, but ya know nothing is really coming to mind right now. I guess that means I had a pretty good week.
     I guess I've been learning a lot about faith and patience. Like we've actually been working so hard and have been seeing NADA. But this weeks 'Come Follow Me' teaching was also about having faith, and I definitely do need to develop more faith in Jesus Christ. I know that if we keep working we'll find something EVENTUALLY. I think I just got too many blessings in my last area with the last day 4 baptism thing, so the Lord was like "Well, no baptisms for you for a while." So just gotta have some paciencia, know what I'm saying?
     HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT FANTASTIC WEEK.

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...
