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 sunburns feel, yet my face and neck and ears are CONSTANTLY red and everyone tells me that every day. So I don't know if my face is just naturally red or if I'm just permanently sunburnt. I guess we'll find out in 5 months.
     If you remember my last email (I know you remember it word for word), you'll know that we got a TON of food. It was all incredible, and I'll never regret it. HOWEVER, this week we actually payed a guy to fix our water heater for our shower and also a bunch of other random things and we are BROKE right now. We got VERY little groceries this week and I'll just say we'll be eating lots of ramen :D.
     So I'm gonna attach this video in this email, but we had a divisions on Friday and when we ended we came back home and our shower was like, flooded. I guess all of the water from our sink and our NEIGHBOR'S sink, goes through this drain underground and it's connected to our shower. So we came home and it smelt SUPER gross and we couldn't shower for 2 days. But after some hard work of unplunging and weird chemicals, our drainage now kind of works. The church is true.
     WElp that's basically all I have for this week. I know I always send just photos of us eating ice cream and doing thing but I PROMISE WE WORK SUPER HARD EVERY DAY! We just don't have anything to take pictures of during the day so everything is at our house haha. But we're gonna get some bapptiizzzmmmssssss this week. Pray we find awesome people. Hope you all have a fantasstiicc weeekk. BYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEE

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...
