hummm.....​...well we had a baptism

Wow, this week has finally got to me. It has been a downer week, with alot of disapointments, and the constant rain since sunday morning hasn´t helped, and the constant throwing up since saturday morning hasnt really helped either.

I always make a cake for the baptisms, and when i was making the cake on friday night, I ate a little of the raw batter, with raw eggs. So ever since that next morning, I havent been able to keep anything in me. Yesterday after I took the sacrament, I felt tons better, and I was able to eat a little lunch. But when I woke up again this morning, the vomiting was back......... ughhhh. WELCOME TO PARAGUAY...

Plus the rain on sunday didnt really help. We had tons and tons of investigators that were commited to come to church, but with the rain it was impossible. Hardly any members even came. We usually have 90 or so people that are in church, but this week, we had about 55. But what can you do. It was just sad, because we had tons with baptismal dates, but they all fell. And it was the same with all the district. But we can only improve and get better right??

Well, looking on the bright side, we did have the baptism and confirmation of Daniel this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is such a stud. The only problem with him, is that his neighbors and sister absolutely hate us. They are always telling him to burn our stuff, and not talk to us. But he knows this church is true, he has a strong testimony. How many people do you know that have gone from drinking 10 or so cups of coffee a day, to absolutely none the next day, after we taught the word of wisdom??? I know of one, and tyhat is daniel. He is going to be a future leader in the church.

Also, there is alcides, we were planning on his baptism this last week, but his birthday was this last week, and he was going to go to his home 2 and a half hours away, to be with his parents (he lives with his sister here). So we are planning his baptism this next saturday. Hopefully his sister will come and see his baptism, and then let her kids be baptized, because they want to be baptized. Lets see what will happen...huh?

Well the highlights of the week, were finding a family that speaks English. We actually only taught the son, but it was my first lesson here in Paraguay that I have taught 100 percent in english. He is awesome, super busy along with his family, but he accepted a baptismal date, but it fell because he didnt come to church. Our problem bnow is going to be finding him, but if he has enough time, I know he will get baptized, and then his family.

Well, they dont have thanksgiving here, but we are sure going to celebrate it. We are going to do a turkey and everything with amember family. Me and my comp will still be together, until the 30th of november.

Love you all, and I hope you are enjoying the snow, I sure aint enjoying the heat and rain hahahah.

Happy Hunting Season

Love Elder Chase Coy Stewart

Here are some pictures of a scorpion that we found in the baptismal font, and also the baptism of Daniel. Our ward mission leader baptized him, and we had only 7 men there in total including us, but it was the most spiritual baptism I have hgad
