Stuart Little?

Well hello family. It has been yet another great, but fast week in Paraguay.

The work here is really going great. I was so blessed to be put into such a great area. We will have 2 baptisms this Saturday. These two boys are so awesome. Ruben is 18, and Miguel is almost 18. They are friends, and they have such great testimonies of the gospel. >They are so excited for their baptisms, and also we are preparing them for the temple and missions. They are so excited. It is so cool to have converts where you almost know with a surety that they will stay active after their baptisms. But ya, they are both getting baptized this Saturday, WAHOOO. We also have another family of three that were going to be baptized this Saturday, but they were all really really sick this past Sunday, so they couldn't come to church, and therefore their baptisms were pushed back a week. But besides this, the work is going awesome, the Lord has helped me and my companion so much, and we are having great success.

Now to answer some of your questions, first off mom, for this mothers day, I actually think that we get to skype eachother. Or video chat instead of on a phone, so what I need you to do is to set up a skype account for me and you guys. Use Trasens help if you need I am sure he knows everything of what to do. But ya, set me up a skype acount, and then you guys need to get all the equipment for yourselfs. Like a camera and microphone. So you should try to figure this all out, and how skype works. Then email me with my account information, and what I need to do. I would try to figure this out, but i dont have time, and i cant go on other websites. Thanks a ton.

This past week I have been really really thinking about grandpa, and not being able to focus. I also had a dream about him last night, but I dont remember all that happened. I find myself getting really mad at him sometimes for leaving us, and I hate it. Why did this have to happen???? But, everythime I teach people about being with their families forever, I truly mean what I say, because I had that great great experience when I went through the temple the first time. I know that I will be with grandpa and all of you again, but I just wasnt ready for grandpa to go yet. I hate it.

But on a better note, I am so glad that Hailey is home safe. I bet she is pretty jealous of me. I still have 21 more months of this. Haha. I have actually found myself thinking about home quite a bit this week, I am not home sick, but I just think of how much easier life would be. But then I think of how much the Lord is helping me, and how much I (through the Lord) am blessing these people, and there is nothing I would rather be doing more that serving these people here. What a great oppurtunidad I have. And I ask the Lord Everynight to help me better realize this. I ask for help and strength to focus more on these people, and not so much on myself. But ya, I love my mission.

So i sent some letters last week to you guys, let me know when you get them so I can know how long it takes.

But anyways, like I said I was very blessed to be put in this area. We actually get fed quite a bit. We eat with members every thursday, friday, ssometimes saturday, and every sunday. The guy we eat with on sundays is actually not in our branch, but he has been feeding the missionaries for over 5 years. We eat with him every sunday and there is some sistermissionaries that eat with him every other sunday. He stuffs us full of meat and pasta and sauasge. The food is good, but he makes us eat soooo much. I actually love the food here, and I havent eaten anything I havent liked. One of my favorite things here is actually avocado juice (avacado with milk and sugar). I will have to make it for you guys when i get back.

Make sure you guys get me Corys address when he gets to Korea. Man, I ask quite a bit from you guys. I am sorry. I just feel so far away, and I want to know everything that is going on.

Also can you guys wish Garrett and Ty a happy Birthday from me. I missed Garretts birthday in March, but Ty´s birthday is coming up in april. So ya, if you could pass that along.

Humm......... I dont know what else to talk about. Things here are going great, and I will try to send some pictures next week over the internet. I dont have that many but i will still sent them.

I hope everything is going great there, and I wish you all the best of luck with everything.

I love ya´ll and until next week, suerte.

Con Amor de Paraguay
