Elder Easton Schofield-Paraguay Asuncion Mission

This week was awesome, to start it off on Sunday we had our friend Rosa in church again. She is the funniest old lady I know and is always cracking jokes about the missionaries and making fun of us and all that good stuff and it's even better because it's coming from a 80 year old lady. She's on track to get baptized and is happy to do it, she is just waiting on her answer. She has been praying and praying and doesn't feel like she's gotten an answer, but we have a baptism today and she's going to come and we know that she's going to feel the importance and the need to be baptized at the baptism of our friend Agustín.  That same Sunday the coolest thing happened, we were looking for a person named Lisseth who told us where she lived more or less, so we were talking to people in the street trying to come across Lisseth and the people told us to go to a house and ask there so we did. When we got there we all thought that no way is this the house of Lisseth but...

This week was pretty chill, we didn't have much going on in the office, just some things here and there. Preparing for the conferences coming up, and taking care of some other stuff.  On sunday our friend Rosa came to church which was awesome, she said ¨I dont know why but everyone here seems to be so happy, look at their faces, they´re beaming¨ So we explained some more about the Spirit and how it makes you feel and also how she will be able to have this same spirit with her after she gets baptized. She still is kind of reluctant to get baptized but she said that she wants to go to church again this week. So after she feels the Spirit again I know that she's going to want to get baptized. Then Sunday we had our Staff meeting which always kinda blows my mind with how much President remembers all inside his brain, the man does not forget anything. But after that we had our plan set out for the week.  Tuesday we received a  missionary from Argentina that...

This week was really cool, we had a bunch of conferences and meetings to prepare for. On Monday it was a pretty normal day we had to go get a whole bunch of new cell phones and get them ready for the missionaries that need them. We also met with this cool family that has been coming to church off and on and they wanted to make us dinner. So we showed up and she had made pizza, we were stoked. We started chowing down to find out that she made the pizza and then layered hard boiled eggs underneath the cheese. Not complaining, I just thought it was an interesting choice haha. We had to also go pick up and install a clothes dryer and some other things for the senior couples´ apartments. And then after that we headed to the airport to get the last 2 missionaries from this group. We picked them up and brought them back to the office, it's always super cool to talk to new missionaries.  On Tuesday, we had to take the new missionaries as well as the senior couple to the...

Well I got my transfers and I'm in the office learning how to be the new secretary. Which is honestly pretty cool.  So I came up to the office on Monday in order to help out with transfers. So Monday night we helped a lot of the people that live in the further away areas come to the office in order to go to their new areas on Tuesday. That night we also had to go pick up the 17 new missionaries from the states. So they landed at like midnight but after paying for their visa and everything we got back to the office at 2 am. But also one of the missionaries missed his flight, so he got on the next one that landed at 4 am. So we slept for a little while but then went back to the airport at 4 am to pick up the other elder and we bought him some traditional paraguayan food that some dude was selling outside of the airport. Which was always good, some solid oil filled Paraguayan food at 4 am hits different.  On Tuesday we got up and had transfers which basically consists of hel...
