Wow, isnt it crazy how fast time goes by. I cant believe that i have already been in this area for 1 change, wow time goes by too fast. So we will figure out changes tomorrow, and my guess is that me and my comp will be staying together to work more miracles together here in Natalio 10. Wow it is so nice to get along great with your companions, I have been lucky enough to have gotten along great with all my companions, but with me and Elder Coggins, it is just great!!!
Conference was great this weekend wasnt it?? Man, it is nice to be able to understand spanish. I could actually understand all of conference in spanish, wow!!! And I loved every second of it. The talks seemed like they were prepared for me, the ward of Natalio and the investigators here. But to fill you guys in on some details, usually here in Paraguay, they watch conference in the stake building, but since natalio is 3 hours away from the stake building, we have a satelite dish here in natalio and we were able to watch all 5 sessions in our church building. But since the time is different here the sessions were at 1 in the afternoon, 5 in the afternoon, and the priesthood session started at 9 o clock at night. But it was great and we learned so much, I am just excited to put thes things into practice in my own life, and in the life of my investigators.
THis weekend we had the baptism of an 8 year old girl. She doesnt count as a convert for us because her parents are members, but for me, it doesnt matter, i dont like numbers anyway, I am just glad that another one of Heavenly Fathers daughters entered into the waters of baptism to recieve her salvation after all that she can do (endure to the end). It was an awesome expereince, like I said her parents are members, sealed in the temple actually, but they have been in active lately, but now they are active and excited to come to church. The baptism was wonderful, it got postponed for a couple of hours because the dad was still working, but we waited for the dad so that he could be there for the very special experience of his daughter. Diana actually asked me to baptize her, so that was cool, it would of been better that the dad did it, but with his fear of water, and other things, he wasnt able to do it. It was a great experience, and the ward really supported her.
This thursday we will be having a wedding and a baptism of a girl named Jennifer, her boyfriend is a member of the church, and she has been coming to church for 5 ort so weeks straight now. It is awesome. She is so prepared, and it will be a great experience for her. Then after that we need to find more people to teach, because the investigator pool is getting pretty low, and it seems like we have clapped every house here in Natalio, but starting this week we are going to start working in the towns around natalio.
yesterday when I was watching conference, i started thinking of a little. We always talk to people that say, o dont worry about me, I found Christ so and so years ago/ or I came to know christ so and so years ago. I also thought of a lesson we had on saturday wiht a guy who said wow, this mission you guys are doing is really great, then he asked us How many years ago did you guys come unto christ/find christ? And it wasnt til yesterday in conference that i noticed that really I have known christ always, for alot longer that this life. I am so glad that I have a Savior that loves me, and I am glad that I have known him forever, and will continue to know him forever.
I love you guys so much, and I continue praying for you all there in Idaho/Utah/Oregon/California/Korea/Mexico/Sierra Leone Africa, and whereever else you might be.
