Last Transfer...

What´s up everybody? So this week was super busy and absolutely flew by. So here's a little of what happened.

On Sunday we had all of the missionaries that were ending their mission here in the office and got to spend time with them while President was doing their last interviews. After that we went together to the mission home where they all shared experiences from the mission and things that they have lived through and ways that they have grown. It was all really nice. That same night I was informed about about the transfers so I stayed up pretty late getting everything all organized for the next day when more than 30 missionaries would have to be traveling. Got that all in order and then headed off to bed. 

The next morning I made sure that everything was in order and that I didn't mistake anyone, that those that needed to travel would be traveling today. Then we took the missionaries to the airport, helped them get on their flight and sent them on home. It was pretty sad to see them go, a couple of them were my really good friends from the mission, and the majority are going back to the states so I'll see them again, but some went to other countries down here in South America so it´ll be a little tricky to see them again. Then I got my new companion, I´m still with Elder Hall, but we´re adding a 3rd to us. His name is Elder Correa, he's from Phoenix Arizona and is a super cool guy, I'm super excited to have him here with us and to be able to teach him all this stuff. That same night at midnight we went with Elder Correa to the airport to get some of the new missionaries. Seven Americans got here so we helped them with their visas and everything and got them back to a place where they could spend the night. 

We woke up Tuesday, which is actually transfer day, so we had even more people traveling today and while everything was crazy here in the office with more than 100 missionaries coming and leaving all at the same time. We had to go back to the airport to get the new latino missionaries. A group of 14. Definitely one of my favorite parts of everything is picking up new missionaries and getting to know them. So we brought them back to the office to hangout or sleep if they wanted. They basically just chilled the whole time because the following day was the new missionary training.

So after getting all of their trainers here we got everything in order on Wednesday we had the training for the new guys. Which was super cool because it was a really different group of missionaries. This time we got 15 new sister missionaries which is the biggest group of sisters that we´ve ever gotten. Basically every sister missionary in the mission is now training one of these new ones. So that was really cool. We sent them off to their areas after eating some pizza and officially we were done with transfers. 

Thursday was a pretty normal day, just making sure that everything was how it should be, and that everybody got to their areas safe and sound. But now to the important stuff. We could finally leave to work today. I'll be honest, it's been a while since we´ve been able to get out on the streets, transfer weeks are always tough. But I love getting out there to work. Before the mission there were things that I would do in order to clear my mind from the stress of school and work and stuff like playing sports. But now that same thing happens when I leave to go work. It's like all of the stress from organizing everything just floats away when we're out there teaching the Gospel and I absolutely love it. It's a joy that is basically indescribable. 

I love what i'm doing and love all of you

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...
