Well first off, we were contactin this week, and we met with this lady, when we were leaving, she asked us to pray for her. I offered to pray and in the middle of my prayer she started yelling at me because I was praying to God, not to the Virgin Mary. And then at the end of my prayer she started yelling and praying that the evil spirits would leave my body. I dont know what i could of done with out her. I need someone to curse the evil spirits out of me every once and a while. SO that was why I said the Excorcism of Elder Stewart.
Well I thought long and hard about how I was going to write this email this week. I wanted to make it a suprise and interesting just like it was for me. But, actually I am just going to say it straight forward.
RESULTS OF CHANGE- I stay in Barcequillo with the same comp
Hahahahhahahahahha
Ya, just to let you guys know, I now know that God has a sense of humor, and that I can never know what to expect for changes now.
We went to district meeting and there they told me that I am actually leaving to go to an area called Ybate, in Asuncion. Hahaha. But anyways, later that day we painted the Ibarras house, and said goodbye to all my amazing converts and members there. The next morning I went to the terminal to meet my new comp and go to my new area.
REAL RESULTS OF THE CHANGE- I go to Ybate with Elder Edwards. Ya, but that is not all, the reason that I say that God has a sense of humor, is because he decided to make me senior companion.
Hahah, a young enexperienced missionary like me a senior companion hahah. Ya, but that is not all, Elder Edwards has a total of 6 weeks here in Paraguay. What is significant about that is that the training Program here is 12 weeks. His trainer went home( because he finished his mission.) So, I now have a step son, and I am a trainer.
Hahaha, a young inexperienced missionary like me can be a trainer and a senior companion. Ya, but that is not all, it reallly made me laugh when I found out that the Lord has called me as a district leader. HAHAHAHHA.
Isnt that the funniest thing ever. A young inexperienced missionary like me as a Senior Companion, A Trainer(daddy), and a District Leader.
Hahahaha So ya this is now my resume as a missionary. I have been here in Paraguay for almost 6 months, I have been on my mission for almost 8 months. I am starting my fifth change, and this is my 4th area(Tres Bocas, Presidente Franco, Barcequillo, and now Ybate), and my fourth comp (Faas(california), Hewitt(Washington/Utah), Martinez (comlumbia), and now Elder Edwards (new Mexico)). And now, I am a Senior Comp, Trainer, and a District leader.
I am really running out of time, but i promise i will send pictures next week, and tell you about the area, my new comp, and me. I just dont have time sorry. We are really excited to get to work. When I got here last Wednesday, we had a total of 2 investigators that arent progressing. So we have ALOT OF WORK, but we are going to baptize alot and ya.
Sorry I couldnt feel you all in on the details, but next week. There is so much more to tell you, but my hour has already passed.
Love you guys
Elder Chase Coy Stewart
Hey Chase Coy... I was just searching for something about my country on the internet and found your blog. Your work seems very interesting... do you work on a mission, is it for a religion? I live in Asuncion too, maybe we can chat sometime. Take care.

Hey Henry.. This is Stephanie. Chase is my little brother who is in Paraguay right now. He is serving a mission for our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.) They serve for 24 months and my brother has 16 months left in your country. He has served (lived) in a couple different cities in Paraguay. Right now he is in a town called Ybate. Do you know where that is?
ReplyDeleteWell he is serving the Lord and the people in your country. I know that God restored this church to the earth through a boy named Joseph Smith. God and his son, Jesus Christ appeared to him in a garden and they restored the church and brought back all of the keys and blessings that we have on this earth today. I also know that Jesus Christ suffered for us so that we can repent of our sins and live with him again. This is a little bit about our church. I know that if we follow Jesus Christ it is the only way to eternal happinness.
