Rain and Changes GO AWAY!

Well family all is well here in good old Barrio Santa Lucia, Ybate,Lambare, Asuncion, Paraguay, Sur America

Well, it sure has rained quite a darn bit this last week. And man didit rain, but what can you do.

This week we didnt have any baptisms, but 2 as a district YAY. Well weshould of had 4, but one got scared, 1 didnt show up for his baptismafter the interview, and the 2 that did get baptized, sidnt show up tochurch to get confirmed, so that stunk. But anyways, we are planningon having 3 more as a district this next week, so that will be fun.

Man, time flies fast. It is funny how some of my llast areas i wassuffering after one change, but I have been in this area for 5 monthsnow, and it will be close to six, and I dont want to leave. I want tostay here with the same investigators, the same converts, the samemembers, the same district, the same companion, the same everything. IAM SO SCARED OF CHANGE. I am the kind of kid that never liked change,and nothing in my life ever changed, same town always, same friends,same high school, same routine (hunting in fall, skiing in winter,sports in spring, and lake in the summer). But here in the mission,there is always change, and I just guess I have to accept the will ofthe lord and do what he wants me to do. So I WILL. I know thatchanges are still 2 weeks away, but i have never been as nervous as Iam now.

Well on a good note, Luis Jara received the priesthood this week.YYYAAAAYYYY. He is excited to bless or pass the sacrament the nextweek. It will be awesome. We actually got lunch with him today. Andhopefully this week we can expain the priesthood better, and startteaching his family.Ya, we got zone conference this week, and usually for this, there is 2zones combined. So we will see. I am excited, Zone Conference isalways a time to pump the missiopnaries up, and learn from theGreatest Mission President in the world. Man I love President Callanso much, and his wife. I dont want them to leave, I want to finish mymission with them, but the Lord has other plans for them.

This zone conference we will be focusing on how to become betterteachers. So now, for our studies we are focusing alot on that, andPRACTICING: And for zone conference, we will be doing alot ofpractices.Well, we are going to have a long pday today just doing alot of littlestuff, but it will be good. We are excited to work hard this week,and find alot of news and invite everyone to be baptized YA.

Well thanks for your support and love. It isnt waisted, i am workingmy tail off here. I know that this church is true and I know that I amdoing the work of the Lord.

Love you guys
