Ah Paradise, I mean Paraguay

Hola Familia Ok first off I have waited these five or so days to find out where Josh is going on his mission, and not one of you told me. What is up with that. Haha. But i guess I will just have to wait for another WEEK to find out where he goes......... :( But anyways here are my two adresses, it doesnt matter which one you use Elder Chase Stewart Casilla de Correo 818 Asunción Paraguay 1209 or Elder Chase Stewart 2881 Del Maestro c/ Caballero Barrio Herrera Paraguay, Asunción Well here are my addresses so you can write me now. haha. Well lets see, life here is awesome. I am slowly starting to pick up spanish. I can actually talk with people a little. Actually my first two street contacts I did turned out to be pastors. So that didnt have the best results. But besides this, i am teaching more and trying to get the hang of things. We have some AWESOME investigators here. We were supposed to have 14 investigators at church yesterday, but only five came. O well. But there is a family that we are teaching that is incredible. It is a mom and a son that is 17 and a daughter that is about 15 or so. The mom is paralyzed on the whole left side of her body. But she came to church this week, (we called a taxi for her and her family). She loved it more than anything. And her daughter loved it to. The son not so much. But the son and daughter are going to start going to seminary, so that is pretty sweet. I think they are going to get baptized in a few weeks. But the family is awesome. Also we should have two baptisms on saturday after conference. A eight year old boy and a 11 year old girl. Our conference here starts at like 1 and 5. But anyways ya. We also have another awesome family we are teaching. I think I told you about them on thursday, but they are half members half not. But anyways it is funny how God works and the devil works. One way I have seen God work is we were going to teach a family and they were not home so we contacted another family next door. They let us in, and we taught the first lesson, and they said that there has been something missing in their life and this might be it. But anyways it is sweet. A way that we have seen the devil at work, it that we had the biggest rain storm on saturday night. We had rivers in the street. I have some sweet pictures. But anyways, the water was in some places thigh deep. But it ended up flooding Miguels house, and so everyone was helping him so we couldnt teach him and that family, and then when sunday rolled around they didnt come to church because tensions were high, and it was early, and they were tired from the night before, so there baptismal date was pushed back. But i know that i need to keep my faith up and the lord will bless me. But some cool things about paraguay now. I saw my first monkey yesterday. Also here in paraguay, there is an even mix between houses, buildings, trees, motorcycles, and trash. Everything above your head is beautiful, but is kind of sad to see the trash and the living conditions. But i love these people, i love how they are ready to receive the gospel, and i love the Lord for all of his help. Stay Sweet Con Amor Elder Stewart
