Lunes:
I realized after that i totally forgot to write about my last pday so
here i go. We went to pizza hut with almost all of our zone that was
cool. after words elder sprenger one of the other elders in remansito
had to go to this place to get some speacial shampoo stuff, so we went
there with him and after asked what colectivo to take to get back to
home. the lady told us and we hop aboard. After a little bit me and
elder springer could feel we were going the wrong way, and we found out
we were headed for pala loma not loma pyta so we got off and strated
walking to a different road, and then found that super cool stuate i
sent you guys a picture of last week. after we went shopping and to the
cyber in remansito. then we had a NDH with the familia sosa it went
well, it wasnt a lively opne, and the investigator we thought would be
there couldnt make it, but we were able to get a good lesson in about
family untiy and the importance of NDH and Family prayer and family
scripture study and all that. It was a good pday.
Martes: Today was a little frustrating, literally
every single plan we had didnt work out! so with that happinging we
contacted alot and and found some good potential new people. we will see
paraguay is full of people that ja poo (lie in guarani) in paraguay its
the bigbest struggle. After along a little stressful day we enjoyed a
half kilo thing of ice cream.. super good its super cheap and we eat it
about 4 or 5 times each week i feel like tanner when i eat it that much
hahah. oh also got a hair cut today that was good it looks like i get
about one hairvut every change so i only have so many left know haha.
Miércoles: Today was Hakuetere´e (tooo hot in
guarani dont know if the spelling is right haha) we had a super good
lesson with Viriglio one of our most promesing investigators, and diego
sosa, it was super good, about the plan of salvation, and we were so
lucky to have diego there because he was able to help clarify some of
his really difficult questions. afterwords we went and had dinner with
the familia duré which was super good it was potatoes and flour with
like a red sauce i loved it! after we went to bryan, a nine year old
investigators house, and his mom a member for 17 years thats inactive
told us she wants to comeback to church, which could be the perfect push
for brian! super awesome for us. Then we went and had a really good
lesson with the family saminiego, we talked about the attonement and
what it is, they told us that recently they put the goal as a family to
be at church every sunday which was probably the best news i have ever
heard on my mission!! mainly because they made the descion themselves we
didnt have to put that goal with them.
Jueves: We had to get up at 4:30 am
this morning because we had a 70 come! Elder Zeballos. It was super
early but we went there and it was so good. We listened to president and
his wife and elder zeballos and his wife, a total of 3 hours! it was
sooooooo good i learned so much, but as a mission over the past 5 months
the attendance of people in church has gone up over 600 people!! that
is one of the goals of the seventy to increase the attendance. i also
got two letters today!! a postcard form lithuania and a letter from
utah!! it was so awesome i learned that letters take about a week to get
down here, and then who knows how long they are in the office until
they can get passed to me or i can go get them myself! super awesome
though thanks guys i loved it! After words we went and taught a less
active member Airel Santa Cruz and his señora mercedes, they are both
members but are super awesome and we think we can help them get married
and go to the temple to be sealled with their daughter! then we had the
best branch consel i had since ive been in remansito because all the
people that were supposed to be there were for the first time ever, and
after we taught a little bit and then headed home. I did have the
opportunity to give my comp a blessing today that was good, he is a
really good guy!
Viernes: Last night in the middle of the night my
fan broke, and since our AC has been broken for about 3 weeks now and
the guy wont come to fix the last four hours of sleep were miserable.
thankfully when we woke up estaba lloviznando ( it was drizzling how
awesome of a word is that) when it rains or there is water it cools down
a little, the proble is that after it gets way humid but it was nice
that it was colder for sure. we had 6 lessons today a solid friday, but
came home to a stiken hot house!! it was miserable we need to get our
air conditioning fixed or something, we used the one fan rotating to
sleep tonight, it was a little better than the night before.
Sabado: WE had a full and busy day all planned out
and of course after we were killing it teaching wise, the AC guy called
and said he could come out to fix it, so we had no choice but to get it
fixed it took him 2 and a half hours and he had to change out some major
pieces, but alass we have cold air now and it is magical (count your
belssings people) then we taught brians dad (who was drunk in the
moment) and it was quite funny, he kept saying es cierto no es cierto
and entender good times with the drunks of paraguay. that was today.
Domingo: Today we left the house earlier than normal
to drop the piano off at church ( i dont have time to practice now that
im señor comp, because i have a million other things on my mind) and
then we went to go pick up bryan for church, we were dissapionted that
he left early with his grandma, but were glad to bring his recent
convert brither alexis to the church. It was good. At church we had
bracnh conference, the members got really excited for it and it was
good. We had 63 people in sacrament meeting and 7 were less actives, and
1 investigator that we had really met yet so that was a great blessing.
after church we went and taught the kid the came and even got to teach
his parents, that might be the first family i get to help right there
but if not the kid is agreat guy and i think we can help him to! we
then when and visited david gonzales and learned that he knows what
tacos are and how to make them so that is a future activty that we will
be doing. afterwords we went and taught santa cruz who didnt go to
church because she works from 9 at night to 6 in the morning and she got
home late, so she couldnt make it.. thats going to be a tough one to
help them get there, but we are going to do our best. Also i thought i
would let you know about my journal struggles, last monday i filled pu
my first journal and didnt miss a day, but since then it has been harder
to write in it because things just keep getting busier and busier..
hopefulloy ill be able to refocus and catch up on the days i missed but
we will see.
Lunes: Today was great, went to asuncion becase my
comp had to sign some papers, while he was gone i went out and
exploeçred asuncion with some other missoinaries and found this awesome
buddhist temple, we just missed the visiting hours, then went and got
some lunch and after that went back to the office, i reunited with my
comp and then we made our way to the cyber to write you guys, but the
power was down so we went and shopped and then went to remansito where
power was out in the whole city until 5, then at 5 it came back, i
called our district leader and he said we could write until 7 hince the
later letter, but yeah we have a NDH planned with the familia sosa again
hopefully that one happens with the investigator this time.
Love you guys so much! got an email syaing we have the choice of skyping the 23, 24, or 25, for 40 minutes before 6 oclock,
so let me know what time works best for you guys, and when you want to
do it i think the 25 might be the best for here because lots of
çfamilies want us to swing by the 24 but let me know what you think also
if you could find my skype info, im not 100% sure what my username and
password is that would be nice, let me know! cant wait to see you guys
and have you tell me if i look fat or not hahha
Con cariño,
Elder Jace Gummersall
