Another great week in Paraguay. Like always. First off, what happened with the end of the world¿ Why didn´t it come? Hahaha. The people here in paraguay were going nuts and asking us "Is the world really going to end". It was funny we would be walking through the streets and someone would yell "MORMONES, Es verdad, el mundo va a terminar." Or in english, "is it the truth, is the world really going to end": But, it didnt and we are still here preaching and teaching.
This week has actually been really crazy. We have been running around all week to get things in order. We had zone conference this week, and then we did divisions, and i went to another elders area. We had baptismal interviews, we didnt have the wedding. We had two investigators that at one point say they wanted to get baptized, and then the next second they didnt want to, but then thgey finally decided to be baptized, and this saturday we baptized 3 people!!!!!!!!!!! Me and my comp are up to nine now here in tres bocas. And we have atleast 3 or 4 more in the next two weeks. The Lord is helping us soooooo much here. I love it and I am so so so greatful for him.
This last thursday we had zone conference. It was nice to be with other elders and enjoy ourselves a little. At the zone conference I received my package mom. Thanks so much for that. I am trying not to eat it all at once. Even though i ate the pringles and the m and ms the first couple days. Yummmm. My companion received his new shoes and also three huge boxes of candy. He has enough to last him the rest of his mission. Hahaha. But anyways, I also received a letter from Abby Face and two from Stephanie. The ones from stephanie were from April11th and 20th. I got them the same day kind of weird. O well. I sent a couple letters out to my friends this past week, but I am planning on sending alot more letters out June 1st when i get more money. Because right now, (hay taipori plata. ) Hay taipori pata means there is no money. Taipori means no in Guarani. So i am sorry that I am horrible at writing but i promise there will be letters sent out this coming week.
O ya by the way, i love the language here. It is so much fun with the castellano (spanish) mixed with the Guarani. I know a few little guarani words and it is a fun language: Hopefully I can learn more by the end. My goal is to be able to bear my testimony in three different languages for my home coming.
But anyways like I said earlier, we had three baptisms this past saturday. Elias who is 15 was baptized by my companion Elder Faas. Gisel who is 18, I baptized. And Rosana who is 21 was baptized by her novio (boyfriend) Sergio. It was tan purete (so awesome).
But the work here is still going awesome. We struggled with finding new investigators this week, but our goal for the next week is to find alot more news. The language is going better, step by step. Alot of people are telling me how much better I am, they said i was HORRIBLE at first but they can actually have a conversation with me now. We are almost half way done with our second change, and my comp thinks that he is going this change. And that i will stay. But we dont know yet. These next two changes we will be receiving around 45 new missionaries. HOLY COW that is alot. So there will be alot of new faces in the mission.
The food here is incredible. There is hardly anything I dont like ( besides this disgusting pumpkin drink YUKKK) We are fed very well here and i dont think that I am gaining or losing weight. Thew people here are really blunt and they always call me fat. I am pretty used to it now hahaha.
Love yall
Con amor de Paraguay
