Hola

Another great week here in Paraguay.
The weather has been really weird lately. Some days it has been really hot, other days really cold, and other days really rainy. Crazy haha. But this is paraguay for you.
This last week was a pretty good week. I am pretty glad that it is P day because I am ready for a nap. But for this next Saturday, we are planning on 3 or 4 baptisms. We arent sure about the 4th yet. But vamos a ver. Anyways, we have a pretty busy week this week. We have Zone conference on thursday. Por fin. And there i should hopefully receive the package. Ojala. And then we have a marriage on friday. A member boy (20 years old) is marrying his girlfriend. And then on saturday he is going to baptize her. And also on saturday we have the baptisms of Gisel and Elias. Gisel is 18 and Elias is 15. I actually found this family when I was doing divisions with a recent convert. They were ready to receive the gospel which is so awesome. Their mom is going to be baptized the 4th of June. She said she wants me to baptize her. I am excited for another baptism but the only problem, is this lady isnt the smallest. Hahaha. I am rude but I dont know how I am going to baptize this over 300 pound lady. Vamos a ver. hahaha otra vez. Well anyways I am excited for this week and my package hopefully. My companion is also expecting a few packages with shoes in them. He has ahd two pairs of shoes die while I have been with him. Right now he is borrowing some converts shoes. But we have both been praying for his new shoes to come this week.
So me and my companion think that one of us is going to leave this next change, but it is funny because we always fight because we both want to stay in this awesome area. But whatever happens, happens right. And plus we still have 4 weeks until the next change. It is crazy to think that I have been here in Paraguay for almost 2 months. In three days I will complete 4 months in my mission. It isnt that much time I know, but it has soared by. I dont know where time went.
This past District meeting I received letters from Garrett and From my family in Rigby. I dont know where all the other letters are, like grandma Summers. Hopefully I get them tomorrow. Anyways I am sending another batch of letters out tomorrow. So in a month you guys should receive them.
This week our numbers werent too high, but numbers arent important. All we know is that we had six investigadors in church, and that in the next three weeks, we are expecting atleast 7 baptisms. The Lord has helped us out soooo much here in Tres Bocas it is amazing. I dont want to leave this area, and these investigators, and these recent converts. But at the same time I kind of want a brand new start. It bugs me when the people (especially members) dont think I can understand them. It bugs me when the members make fun of me for not being able to understand, and therefor they dont even talk to me. Honestly i am just really shy. I can understand them for the most part, but I dont talk all that much because 1. My companion loves to talk and i never really get the oppurtunity to. 2. when i finally get the oppurtunity to talk, and I say something wrong my companions laughs and makes fun of me. 3. I have had instances in the past when I have spoken and the people cant understand me. So these are the reasons I dont speak that much. I dont want to say something wrong, I dont want the people to make fun of me. But i need to change and just forget about the people, forget about my companion and just open my mouth and change people lives with the Lords help :)
It sounds like sports are going great. Red sox and Heat are doing well I guess?????????????
But anyways, everything here is going great. Dont worry about me, and it sound like you are all doing awesome too. It is always nice to hear from you guys. Congratulations to Abby Face on her great year in track, and to the rest of you, I love the heck out of you and am praying for ya constantly.
