Normal Week...

This week was pretty normal. We didn't have any giant conferences or anything like that but we did have leadership council. Which is always a good time. We bring in all of the leaders from their zones here to Asuncion and talk about the mission and what we can do to help out the missionaries as well as work in a more efficient way.

So it's always good to see some buddies that are in further away zones and spend some time with them. As well as learn from President and Hermana Faundez about how we can improve and better help the missionaries that need our help. 

I also got my Christmas/Birthday package from my family (love you guys so much) and they sent me some Christmas fairy lights so you already know I had to put those in the van. So picking up a bunch of missionaries late at night with the Christmas lights turned on was a great time and definitely puts me in the Christmas mood even though it's a 100+ degrees outside. 

But these week we were able to go on divisions and I went with Elder Foti an elder from Argentina who's a good buddy of mine. It's great to be able to go out and do something you love like teach the Gospel and do it with people that you really get along with. It makes the whole difference, So I'm really grateful for my comp Elder Hall as well because everyday is a great time. 

We've been working with a lot of people here in the area and a couple of them are really progressing and it's so cool to see. We have Paola who really wants to progress, she's just finding the way to balance her family as well as church, and now her younger sister who lives with her and is taking a good interest in everything. We also have a friend named Jose who is progressing really well but we works like crazy and every time he's so close to going to church and doing what he needs some work comes up. So it's tough to see these people get sooooo close but it seems like they can never take just the last step that they need to take.

I love you guys hope you have a great week,
Easton

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...
