Last Week in the MTC!!!

Well family this is the last email in the states for a while. I have less than three days before we leave the MTC. Wahoo This email will be pretty short because I lost 15 minutes of my 30 minutes trying to get the email to work. Grrrr But anyways, we are all so excited to get out of this place. We loved it, but we are so excited for Paraguay. There is 10 of us all together that are going to Paraguay. 4 in my district, and i think there are 4 more elders and 2 sisters. we met two of the elders and one sister that are going there. We are all excited like I said and I dont really even know what to expect. We had a teacher here, her name is Hermana Edwards, and she just got back from our mission a few months ago. She told us alot about paraguay. She actually came in our room and started talking in Guarani (the other national language of paraguay). we were all pretty confused, and i wanted to tell her that this wasnt the Korean class. Guarani sounds like korean..... Hahahahha. But anyways she then told us a few things about paraguay. She said that she has never been hotter or colder than she was in paraguay. She said it gets up to 115 degrees, and plus almost 100% humidity. Holy Cow. But everything else was preety cool like the bugs there, and the giant black butterflies that if you make them mad, they will lay worms in your skin, and you have to dig them out. Ahhhhhhhhhh paraguay, I am so excited. The packages and letters are great. I think I am going to send my box home of stuff either today or saturday. I havent decided what i want to send home yet, and i really dont think i can fit everything in my suitcases. I will probably have to pass alot of stuff down to the younger districts like candy, and everything else I inherited. I also dont think i will bring my 1000s of flashcards, so iwill pass those down to. I have a pair of shoes and other stuff that i will send home. Also i am going to send home a bunch of letters i have. So make sure you keep them in a safe spot. So today i am going to start packing and get my hair cut. The work here has been going great. This week is our teaching week so we have taught quite a bit, out of my whole district, we are overall going to teach more than 100 lessons. Me and my companion will have almost 40. We have 4 investigators here, Antonio Jeff Patricio and Andrew. Antonio and Jeff are getting baptized soon, Patricio knows he needs to get baptized but he wont commit on a date. And also we dropped andrew yesterday, because we taught him tons and he just wasnt progessing and he didnt see the importance of anything. We tried our hardest but it wasnt enough. It is going to be nice to get to paraguay and start teaching REAL investigators, and get REAL baptisms. This is truly the Lords church, and the Lord has blessed me so much with everything, especially you guys!! I just need to show my love back and help others come unto Christ. Love ya guys I will try to answer your questions in letters, but like i said i didnt have that much time Com amor Elder Stewar
