This week was pretty wild a roller-coaster for sure. To start off we had like 4 ladies that we were teaching progressing this week and they were like really progressing. Then one by one we got a text saying that their husbands don't want them talking to us more or reading the Book of Mormon or anything like that. But hey it's good the Lord has a plan. We also talked to a bunch of people this week and found some really cool people. 

We also live right above a pharmacy and we're best friends with the employees there. They're even ordering shirts for us so that we can sport them on p days. They even registered me as a member there. We love farmatotal. 

We had a conference up in Asunción which was pretty sweet. Got to see a lot of the homies again that I haven't seen in a while. And it was kinda messing with my comp and I because we started the mission together in the same MTC district and at this conference we saw most of the sisters from our MTC district but they are getting ready to go home in 3 weeks so this conference was the last time that we'll get to see them in the mission which kinda blew our minds. But pretty crazy that we're already this far into the mission. 

But most importantly this week we started a trend. So in Paraguay there are little stores attached to every house and people sell things like soda, milk, bread, fruit and so on. So they have ads for what they sell. Well one of these ads has a girl on it named Mia, Mia went to the same high school as my buddy Elder Dutson. I guess she became like a model or something but her face is literally all over Paraguay, so naturally we had to gift our buddy Dutson a poster. So we went asking every little store that had one of these ads If we could have it and gift it to someone. Needless to say they don't really care because they don't even pay to have the ads put up. So we got a poster, then we thought, can we get another? So we got another one. And we started to think, how many can we get? So right now we have 4 but we're on the hunt for more. And now our zone as well is looking and snagging posters when possible. I love the mission. 

We also had interviews with President this week which are always good. We got to hangout with him for a little while we drove around the zone doing interviews. And he paid for our lunch so that's a bonus. 

But this week was good definitely learned that this is the work of the Lord and of nobody else. All we need to do is get out of His way so that He can do His work through us. 

I love the mish and love you guys.

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...
