Normal Week...

This week was super cool, we didn't have any big things to plan or conferences or anything. Just getting things ready for transfers. But it was super cool because we could finish the little work we had here and get out and teach. 

We contacted a bunch this week and met a whole bunch of new people and some really cool ones as well who want to progress. We met these two teenagers in a park and started sharing with them and ended up giving them both books of mormon. We went back the following day and they said that they read and wanted to read more! It's always great to see people who genuinely are interested in the Gospel and want to learn more. These two teenagers said that they would come to church on Sunday as well so we're praying that they can!

We also had a funny experience. We were walking one day and saw this old lady sitting on her porch so we went to talk to her and she said that she only believes in the Bible and doesn't read any other books. She said that our beliefs are so different that it wouldn't even be worth our time to talk. So we asked her what her beliefs are and she said "Well, go to church on Sunday, Jesus is our savior, the bible is the word of God" and we said well hey we believe all of that as well. She started talking about some things and it reminded me of a scripture in the Book of Mormon so I took it out and asked her if I could read a little. After I read she said proudly AMEN and asked what part of the bible it was from. I told her it was from the Book Of Mormon and asked if she would like to read more. She said Nope, but I asked if I could read a couple more verses. And read some verses that link the Book of Mormon and the bible and she loved them. After talking and explaining more we gifted her the Book of Mormon and she said that she would read it. It was a super cool lesson but then she started rambling on about famous musicians and how they all sell their soul to the devil to be so famous. I hope she just remembers to read. 

Another day we went to have a lesson with a lady that is on date for baptism. We had a cool lesson but at the end she told us that really wants to continue with us but her husband said "you were born Catholic and will stay that way." So we're still working with her still and trying to find a way to help her husband realize it as well. Pray for Daniella.

But it was a great week overall, hope you all are doing well 
Love you

I saw this guy with a Lake Tahoe shirt on and had to get a picture with him. He didn't know what it said and got it at a thrift store.

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...
