Divisions, shenanigans, and gaseosa

Wwwhhhhhhhaaaattttt isss upppp ya''''llllllllllll. How was everyone's week? Swell? Fantastic? Amazing? Oh, sorry...I was just talking about how GREAT our week was because EVERY week is great here in PARAGUAY.
     Ok that may have been kind of an exaggeration. It was a pretty normal week ðŸ˜‚. Nobody went to church, but hey, Sarah still has a baptismal date for the 29th, so we're all gucci. Taught some people. Ate some food. Good stuff.
     We did have Zone Conference on Thursday and that was pretty cool. They did make a change to how we count "New Investigators." So we used to count them if we taught a 5 minute lesson with a return date to come back. But NOW we have to teach a FULL lesson for it to count. So our average new investigators is probably going from 15 to a fat 3. I also got to see a lot of Elders and old companions and that's always fun. It was also the LAST zone conference of the hermanas from my MTC district, which is super weird. I guess you could say I'm getting pretty old.
     We had divisions with the Elders in Villa Anita. I stayed here with Elder Farnsworth and really the only highlight of the day, besides not getting into one house all day, was getting Dominoes stuffed crust pizza with a 3.3 liter of Pepsi at night. That was pretty great. (véase la foto arriba)
     We'll have changes next week and also interviews this week. I know you all are DYING to know who my next companion is, but don't worry, you can wait another week.
     Yup, that's it. Pray that we find some of those vaso escogidos(chosen vessels) out here in the Floresta. Hope you all have a GREAT 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...
