I Don't Know What To Write Anymore...

This week was pretty cool to be honest.

We worked a bunch Monday through Wednesday here in our area finding new people, teaching a bunch of them and trying to find the way to help them move forward towards baptism. We've found some really cool people who want to progress which is awesome. 

On Tuesday I had the chance to go to FSY here in Paraguay along with President Faundez. Which was one of the coolest things. President was called to teach a couple classes so he brought us along to help him out. We saw some return missionaries that are buddies of mine that were there as counselors. But the coolest thing was that I saw this girl named  Araceli who over a year ago with my companion Elder Hall we found in San Ignacio. She comes from a tough family that doesn't give her much support but was a baptized member who just didn't really go to church. We helped her go to church and get back on that path and one of the first people Elder Hall and I saw at FSY was her. This girl that over a year ago we were able to help and there she was at FSY, doing something that will help her continue in the Church. It was incredible. 

FSY was in a city called Itá which is actually one of my old areas so that was cool to drive down the roads and relive some experiences that I had there. It was also super cool because when we got there we peeked into the room where all of the youth were. I've never felt so much like a famous person but a couple of them saw us and threw their hands in the air saying "the missionaries are here!!!"  And then once their class ended they kind of swarmed us talking about a bunch of stuff. It was pretty insane and really cool to see how the youth see missionaries. They were all super cool. 

After that on Thursday we woke up early and headed off to Caaguazu which was another one of my old areas. So I got to go down some other known streets. But there we had zone conference with all of the missionaries and then continued onto Ciudad del Este that night. We got there and set up the tables and chairs and stuff. Spent the night with some buddies in their apartment and then early in the morning headed off the conference. It's always good to see people and friends after not seeing them for a while. A lot of people in Ciudad del Este are missionaries that were in my other zones or districts and I know them really well. So it was good to catch up with them as well as say goodbye because it would be the last time I see the majority of them. Which is super sad to be honest. 

I love all the missionaries here and feel like I have a small connection with all of them. They really have come to be my family down here. So saying goodbye is really tough.

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...
