So my tenth change has just started, and I am still here in Natalio 10 with the same companion Elder Coggins. Our District leader went home, so we got a new elder that replaced him there. The new elder is named Elder Olson, he is a stud. But I got made district leader again, so that will be fun.
This week has been an insane week. But we did have a wedding a baptism, and a confirmation.
So on thursday we were planning on having the interview from the zone leaders, and the wedding. They said they were going to be at our area at about 1230, but they didnt show up until about 330. Their area is in Encarnacion, a three hour bus ride away, so ya that stinks, but o well. We got the interview done, and they went to wait for their bus that was supposed to come at 6, the wedding started at 6 and got done at 630ish, and when we were done cleaning up, the zone leaders called us and told us that their bus never came, and the next bus wasnt going to come until one oclock the next days afternoon, so they just chilled in our area that night doing divisions with us, then slept in our house on the floor (i felt to bad for them), and then did divisiones for half a day on friday and then left at 1.
Then we were planning on having the baptism on friday at 5, but when we got there to fill up the baptismal font, some of the power(electricity) wasnt working, and it didnt have any power to pump water from the street up to a big tank in the church and then back down to the baptismal font. Well after alot of praying and asking God, nothing happened. But we ended up having to wait for saturday night to do the baptism. Although we dont know why the Lord didnt answer our prayers on Friday, we dont need to. It is the Lords will and we accepted it. Maybe there was reason that the baptism needed to be on Saturday, or maybe there was a reason that it shouldnt of been on Friday, I dont knoe. All i do know is that we had the baptism (she asked me to baptize her, because her husband wasnt able to), and the confirmation, and now they are planning on being sealed in the temple for time and all eternity the next April. Yesterday we talked to them alot about that, and i flat out asked them "Will you guys prepare yourselves to enter the temple of the lord the next April" and they told me yes. Then I told them that I wouldnt be here in Paraguay on my mission, but I would come back down for it. And then the dad said ya, so if he comes and you guys dont get sealed in the temple, then he would of come for no reason, so when he comes and if you guys dont go through the temple, you will have to pay for his plane ticket. Then i said ya, so you can either recieve tons of blessings and go through the temple, or lose alot of money, hahahha. We will see, but ya.
So this next week we are planning on just working normaly again, without tons of distractions, but ya I am excited.
Funny story of the week- we clapped a house where an investigator lives, and the dogs started barking at us, then he came out and we started talking to him, and I noticed that a dog came up toi sniff my shoe, then i talked to him a little more, and i looked down again and noticed that the dog was really close to me, but then i didnt think anything of it and kept talking again, then i looked down again, and not only was the dog really glose to my leg, he was marking his territory, or in other words, urinating on my leg, hahahah, stupid dog.
Love you guys
Elder Chase Coy Stewart
