Paso Yobai Adventure

Wow guys! This might have been the most physically exhausting week of my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE! I'M SOOO TIIIRRREEEDD RIGHT NOW! If ya'll forgot, I had to come to this area Paso Yobai for a whole week because an Elder went home here for breaking his back or something. So it was pretty wild. I'm gonna make this email a little different then the usual; I'm going to go over every DAY individually because so many things happened.
     Monday - I get to Yobai and BAM, just to start off this AMAZING WEEK, I go into the house and there's NO AIR CONDITIONER IN THEIR HOUSE! WHAT THE HECK??? HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT? IT'S LIKE 100 DEGREES ALL DAY.
     Tuesday - We go do this SERVICE for these members by helping them hoe their ground a little. Then the member DROPS THE CAÑA ON ME and tells me I'm doing it wrong and how all of the gringos don't know how to do anything (lol). Then we had lunch(I've had diahrea every day since I've been here) and went out into the HEAT HEAT HEAT. IT WAS SO HOOOOTTTTTT. Then we had a CHRISTMAS DINNER with some members. That was awesome. They made some really good meat and there was a lot of soda. It was great.
     Wednesday - WE HAD NO PLANS SO WE WENT AND CONTACTED ALLLLL DDDAAYY AND IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
     Thursday - My family celebrated Christmas so I actually called them on Thursday. We went to the church, aka the only place in all of Yobai that has internet. We taught two people who asked the same question and then dropped us, "Where does it say Joseph Smith in the Bible?" People don't like it when we say that his name isn't in the Bible.
     Friday -  We found a lot of cool people. At the end of the day I DIEEEEDDD. We went to this member's house to eat dinner and all of a sudden, BAM, my stomach starts dying and I feel suuuupeerrr hot. We go back home and I have a 101 degree fever and stomach hurt SOOO BADDD. If any of you did not know, I have never gotten sick in my whole mission. I love Paso Yobai.
     Saturday - I died in the house. I think I have the 2020 EFY album memorized now.
     Sunday - I had to give a TALK in church. Yeah, I come to Yobai for ONE week and they make my give a talk! What?? Also the whole reuniòn was in pure GUARANÌ. I didn't understand anything. It was great.
     So that was pretty much my time here in Paso Yobai. I can safely say that I will never be riding a bike for the rest of my life nor come to Paso Yobai ever again.
     HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK! I'LL BE LEAVING FOR A NEW AREA NEXT WEEK I'LL UPDATE YA'LL THEN! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2020 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

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...
