 Hows it going?


So Rosa got baptized this week and it was the best, we went to her house the day before her baptism to make sure that everything was in order. And the first thing she told us was that we made her buy a new towel and shower sandals. We said ¨what¨ and she goes, how do you expect me to get baptized and then dry myself off with an old towel that everybody is going to see. And she got herself some nice new sandals so that between the bathroom and the font she could walk in style. She told all of the members at her baptism that the missionaries made her buy a new towel. I love this lady. When she got baptized the water was kinda cold because the hot water heaters never work here. And while she was getting in the font she was talking super loudly saying Ï don’t know what those missionaries were saying, this water is too cold¨ she goes " that elder Schofield told me it would be warm, this isn't even close to warm" we were all cracking up right before she was baptized, but once she came out she said "oh that was nice can we do it again" hahaha she's the best. 

There's a bonus about being in the city, for the first time in my mission I found a dry cleaner place and sent my suit to get cleaned. Which was bittersweet because I had a mango stain on my right shoulder that I got back when I was in Caaguazu and a mango fell on my shoulder. And finally now a year later I got it out. Which is honestly kind of sad. I was pretty fond of the stain.

But other than that it was a pretty normal week. Just getting everything ready for the conference we're going to have with a general authority here soon. And making sure that everything is going to work the way that we want it. 

I'm sure a lot of other stuff happened but I can't remember much right now. I love all of you guys and love being here in the mission.

President was out of the country for a mission president conference. During this time one of our missionaries ended up in the hospital for appendicitis. We had to rush him to the hospital and get him back home afterwards. Our mission van turned into a medical transport this week.

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...
