Used Air...

This week was wild so we're just gonna get right into it. On Tuesday we had zone conference, and it was super cool. Definitely learned a lot from President and it was super fun to finally have all the Elders in the zone together for a day. We shared a little something about baptism and it went super well I think. It was definitely a great time with everyone there. After that we had a family home evening with our friend named Mica. She's super cool and we had it at a members house who are also super cool. We talked about the plan of salvation and man it was such a great experience to have this family be able to bear their testimonies about how they know that they can live together forever. Mica definitely enjoyed it and she is super excited to come to church with us on Sunday. 

After that we did an area attack again with 8 missionaries. It was crazy we straight up visited like everyone in their area and found a whole bunch of new people to teach. Me and Elder Cox found this family that is super cool. We shared the restoration with them and they seemed to really love it. They kept saying this all makes sense, this all makes too much sense. So that was definitely something super impressive to see. 

I also received a Christmas/birthday package from my family and it was awesome there was some sweet stuff inside. I may have opened all of the Christmas stuff during November but it's all good because it doesn't feel like Christmas down here anyway haha. If there's no snow and I'm sweating while inside my own house... it's not Christmas. I never really thought about it at home when people say "fresh mountain air." It's real. The only way to describe the air down here in Paraguay right now, is used. We are down here breathing used sticky, thick air. That fresh air at home is straight built different. But I love it down here too. 

Also, it was Thanksgiving this week which was wack because again we out here sweating and it doesn't feel like Thanksgiving. But I did see a turkey on thanksgiving day just walking around. So that was a bonus I guess. But also on thanksgiving day, we went to dinner with Mica and she bought us some good pizza so that was sweet. And we had another really spiritual lesson with her. It was pretty amazing not gonna lie. 

One day this week we were just chillin and we get a call from Hermana Faundez saying that one of the missionaries in our zone was pretty sick. We knew about it but we didn't know how sick he actually was. I guess it was worse than we knew. So we had to get on over to his apartment and do some divisiones real quick. My comp Elder Yañez took him to the hospital to see what was going on and I stayed with Elder Hoover and did divisions with him. Such a blast. I always have a good time with Elder Hoover. Don't worry, this other Elder is good just got like absolutely no energy and super nauseous but other than that he's chillin. 

We had some Elders in our district over for dinner one night so we whipped up some food and not just any food. We whipped up some of the best food ever created, straight from the heart of the USA. My fam sent me some boxed Kraft Mac and Cheese. And man... literally the best creation on this planet. The Paraguayans in our district were not prepared for this. 

It was honestly such a good week, can't complain about anything because I'm straight living the dream down here. I love you all.

The package!




English Class

This guy in the middle is going to start his mission in January in our same mission.


After lunch we saw this lady that needed some help.


This dude responded to my Facebook story. I didn't know what it meant until he sent me a second message. Basically he said I have a nice butt haha

Everyone was so hyped about the mac and cheese


Came out of nowhere

Happy Birthday

What’s up!! This week was amazing, we were able to get some real work done. We had a couple of lessons where we could bring some members along. We found some other inactive members who we are helping come back to church and along with that baptize their kids. I’m super thankful for the members here in the ward, they are awesome and always able to help us when we need it.     One day we met a lady and invited her to church, but she told us she didn't want to go because she didn’t have any friends in the church. So we told her that before Sunday came we would stop by her house with a member so that she could get to know her and then have a friend in church. And we knew just the lady to call … Rosa. A recent convert that I had such the blessing to be apart of her conversion process. So we went to Rosa’s house and told her that we had a friend that she needed to meet. She said, “just a minute hermanito (little brother) let me put my walking shoes on” and we walked on over to the l...

How's it going everyone?? This week went by ridiculously fast so here's some stuff that happened. On Monday we were able to change our P-day to Monday because we had divisions with other elders on Saturday. But it was super fun we had P-day with the whole zone. We played Paddle for like 3 hours, went to eat lunch all together in a mall and then came back to the church were we played chair soccer for another 3 hours. It was sweet to be have P-day all together and hangout with a bunch of missionaries.  On Tuesday we went out and worked and found some cool people that said that they really wanted to go to church with us. So we sat down and taught some good lessons. We taught the restoration and why it's so important. I honestly really love teaching especially when the people are interested. It's a lot of fun and really rewarding and satisfying. On Wednesday we were working and doing some stuff and then all of the sudden President showed up. So we started talking to...

Snakes, Dogs, and Red Dirt

How's it going everyone. Day one I was warned about the snakes, these snakes are much more dangerous than the snakes you are thinking about right now. These snakes are teenage girls that give you the "look" everywhere you go. It's super funny we will be walking on the street and all of the sudden three girls will run up and talk with us as we walk for miles. It's hilarious, I love it.  A couple weird things that happened this week: a couple of drunk people interrupted our lessons which is sweet. I tried deep fried cow stomach, which honestly tasted and felt like a deep fried booger (sorry that's the only way I know how to describe it). Women breastfeed in the middle of lessons so that's something. I waited for a bus for 3.5 hours because the bus system here is wack. I ate like a pumpkin porridge thing which was pretty good. My comp is Elder Chomorro a Paraguayo who doesn't speak much english which is crazy. I feel like I haven't been able to have a...
