Las Lomitas...

This week has been one of the fastest weeks of my mission but that's probably because of all the things that we did.

On Tuesday I had to go up to the office for transfers, I got transferred to a place called Las Lomitas that is near a city called Ñemby. This is a suburb of Asunción so I guess I finally had to get an area semi close to Asunción and here we are. But I'm loving it to be honest.
It's a place that's a pretty big city. There's a bunch of cars and busses and stuff like that but once you get a little off of the main roads you really don't notice it. 

But this place is super cool all of the members are down to help, down to go out and visit the people with us. We had a member with us just about every day, visiting the people that we're teaching and it's low key the best thing. Our amigos feel more comfortable and open up more when there's someone from their own country there helping them. We went around finding a whole bunch of new people to teach as well as helping people that they were already teaching progress. We ended the week with 8 people on date for baptism so we're super hyped about that. And half of them came to church yesterday so we still got some more work to do but we're stoked to do it.

This area is so packed with people and things to do that every night we get home at 9:30 on the dot. And then have to do some calls or text a bunch of people. We're grinding but I've never felt better. We honestly are having great time, loving the work, loving what we're doing out here. We have a pretty cool zone as well full of missionaries that I've already met and it'll be sweet to get to know some of them more. 

It's been pretty chilly lately and it's the best because I haven't felt cold in a long time. Plus all the members want to give us cocido or hot chocolate which is always a win. But the funny thing is  that they always have some bread that goes along with is and it's like a ring of bread. But it's the worst bread in the world its basically like eating Styrofoam but the hot chocolate wouldn't be the same without it. 

Anyway it's been a great week. I love what we got going here, it's a sweet area with dope members and a dope companion as well. I love all you guys hope you're doing well.

Every day at 4:00 we take a stupid picture and sent it to the zone just for fun.

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...
