ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!
Lunes: We had a NDH
with the Family Samaniegowhich went really well, drew some pictures of
eachother ao that was good, after words I had one of the coolest
expierences in my mission that i hope to tell you about on skype
tomorrow, but for the weekly email and for the people that read it, the
less active couple we were working with on getting married ariel and
mercedes decided to get married this januaray on the 21st!!! it was the
best news i have recieved all of my mission and i was the happiest boy
in paraguay like si o si!!! im just praying that ill still be in
remansito next change to be here for it because ive been here 4 and a
half months already and im worried i might be out, the first of january,
pray for me :)
Martes: today we had district meeting which was
good, we got complemented for our numbers which were actually very good,
and it was nice to get the recognition. after we came back home and had
lunch with hermana romona, it was super good and than after she just
decided to come out and make us/have us make these napkin thingys so
that was super fun and nice of her afterwords we got some good studying
in and then we headed out to work. It was a good, super hot day and we
worked reall good, at the end of the day we got a call from our district
leader saying we are having a division in remansito tomorrow and im
headed to the other half of remansito so itll be good to head back to
the other side!
Miércoles: Made a little swith-a-row in the morning
and got some studying in in the other house. It was good to get to know
elder sprenger, he has a year and almost 4 months in the mission, is a
convert from vegas, and is district leader, he is a great guy though who
loves to have a goosd time and is pretty dang funny hahah. After that
we had a really good lunch, it was super delish!! its like this potatoe
and flour stuff with meat that is soooooo good, kelby you probably
wouldnt like the texture but it tastes super good! atferwords it was
super hot, we had a lot of tracting to do because he is looking for new
people to teach, we had aton of less actives we were working with in
that area but not a ton of investigators. learned a lot but mainly to
make sure the person doesnt feel pressured or obligated to do anyrthing,
and that they do it out of there own free will i did also find some
super dope cerro socks.... thatwas sick!!!, after that we switched back,
it was a real good division...... oh and today was my 5 month
mark!!!!!!!! que rapido eh???
Jueves: Today we had ourseleves a little zone
christmas party!!! we went to villa hayas in the morning and headed to
the chapel there to have a little spiritual thought, after that we went
to the hospital there and sung chrisdtmas hymns to the people there
which was really good, the people loved it, there we got some good group
photos in from us four from remansito and other people got full photos
of the zone that ill hopefully have soon. i also got a nice picture of a
cat that looked dead on a bench, and one with elder sprenger in it...
but dont worry it wasnt dead hahah but for reals that hospital is dirty
and animals walk in and out.. be glad you dont work there mckenzie.....
After that we went back to the chapel and had a gift exchange i had
elder sanchez as my person to give a cheap gift to.. i got him a box of
his favorite candys and also my sunglasses i brought because he loved
them when he first saw them... it was god, he also had me and gave me a
candy bar and a glass picture frame with a photo of christ and a photo
of him behind it with a note... it was awesome! we ate a little lunch
while it poured rain and then right as we finished up the rain stopped
we headeed back home and got some work in. We did have ward consel
tonight and that was lack luster.... something we are trying to improve,
but met with arieak and lorena are two progressing people, lorena being
someone that could be baptized here in january.. the 11 is the goal!!
long but good day!
Viernes: Got some good weekly planning in there, and
some planing in for the navidad, and then had a tough hard day.,.....
aton of our plans and back up plans fell through and we werent able to
visit all those we wanted, the work definately gets harder near chritmas
time.... but we did visist lorena again and ariel and merceds and it
was real good, i hope we can get arieal through the temple here soon!!
there really wasnt two many things exciting that happened today, its
super hot, and doesnt look like it will be stopping anytime soon so
thats fun, but yup thats it hahah...
Sabado: I thought friday was hard but then we had
saturady and even less people were home and it was even hotter, it was a
super tough day, the good news though is that the quality of our
lessons were super good and we were able to get in some real time good
lessons and contacting in, but as for our goals this week has been very
sub par... we do have high hopes for church and continue working with
lots of menos activos cause this time of year they are the only ones
letting us in.. tough life down here...
Domingo: This week was a tough week with the water,
we had 1 day with it, and six days without it... the day with it was
wednesday night, so yup always tough when ya cant start with a shower...
but we got out the door, and got to church to find our numbers dropped a
little for chirstmas as well, with 50 in the chapel 8 less actives and 1
investigator... but it was so awesome to have an incestigator in the
chapel after soooooo long!! super awesome the meeting was really sub par
but we are hoping that our investigator wont realize that. After we got
some studying in and then headed out to teach, we taught manuel someone
i havent visited since my first couple weeks here and he really wants
to make a return... super awesome!! we also got to visit an other
investigator we couldnt find all week and that also was super good! our
weekly numbers ended up being really not that good, but i was proud of
the quality of lessons and hopefull can improve the both in the next
coming weeks, christmas is so close and it dont feel like it at all!!
Lunes: today has been crazy mainly becuase of how
full the busses are... its nuts in the city, we went to pizza hut, and
to the import stire.. basically the one store in paraguay that sells US
stuff, i bought peanut butter and mountain dew to celebrate the
christmas seasons, my comp boguht rootbeer so its gonna be a good
chirstmas!!after that we struggled to get back home and in reality are
stuck in loma pyta right now and thats why we are righting.. really
rustrating but i just have to remember that there is nothing i can
control....
Cant wait to skype you guys and see all your
faces!!!!!! dont be late and please be on there!! you guys are the
best!!! hope you all have a feliz navidad and lots of snow!!
Love ya tons!!
Elder Jace Gummersall
