Lunes:Alright well after i wrote you guys i went to the south american soccer museum! it was supper awesome! you guys have to go some time. There was a funny video about the history of soccer and at the beging it says god created the world in 6 days and the 7th was made for football!! hahahah it was funny after there were collectivo probs and we finnally got home and got to workwe went and visited the lopez family dropped of the clothes and had a good day. 

Martes: well this morning i found about about changs for everyone and my only change is that i hav a whole new district now and like two more sets of missionaries than before which makes it a little tougher. after that we had district meeting but i didnt have to teach because people were seperating. so that was awesome. afterwords we went to lunch, then went and did sheeps... and after studied a little, and then went out to teach no one was home!! it was tough and filled the day with lots of contacting. we did g visit a part memeber amily and for the first time got to talk to the non memebr mom that was super awesome.after that we got to keep contacting and then we calleed it a day.

Miércoles: had a normal start studied a little and then headed to lunch.. it was good afterwords we helped the son study english a little bit that was fun. Then we headed out to work and once again nobody was home. so we decided to go visit a less active that lives far away and in the less active memebrs house we found twins who had kids and husbands that were intrested in listening more.. so that would just be way to cool if we could help them out a little!afterwe went and visited the familia soto which was super awesomeand then no one was home and we had contact city.. but it way harder now becuse last sunday was the time change and that means it gets darker here earlier now.. so working at night i super hard.

Jueves: WEll today was a good one we had a really good lesson with the familia galeano, and followed that up by helping an 8 year old get more prepared for baptism he goes to church with his grandma every week but comes from a very broken household... he is super awesome the and we are trying to uinbreak the household and whelp them be a stronger family so thats super awesome! then we went and visited the familia florentine our next prospective baptism who seems to be doing good but the dad doesnt want to share with us right now, sowe are moving foreward with the rest of the family and hoping that he will follow suit soon after then we went and had a noche de hogar where we watched clips from the lion king and made gospel parralells it ws super awesome and it was lion king in spanish so there isnt too much that is cooler than that hahah.

Viernes: Well this morning started out really eventful. I was taking a shower and th epower went out which means freezing cold shower but i thought nothing of it because that happens all the time in paraguay and after i got out i opend the door from the bathroom to find a fire on our wall. Our electricity box had exploded and cauht on fire and i used my shirt to but it out it was a crazy great fun start to the mornign. But we had a memeber come help us fix it a ittle so we had power the rest of the day and the owner came and took a look at it an brought us ice cream cause she felt bad... it happens a lot in paraguay.. so that was cool. after we went out teaching we met a new monkey but werent ble to get photos yet. then we ewnt and made a couple more visits with some members families and stuff and found some really good new people to teach. it was awesome! after that we called it a day.

Sabado: this morning started with n awesome activity for the stake! all the stake missionaries and a bunch of youth from the stake came to our building nad heaedd out to visit less active families or youth and invite them back to church! it was a super awsome experience, and after they all shared there testimonies about how enriching it was and how easy it is to go and invite some one to go to church! it was one of the best activities ive ever been too! during that activity my comp went with another missionary to the houes and a dude from the mission came nd fixed our electricity so that was cool. Then we got some studying in while it poured down massive amounts of rain. after we ran out and taught a couple lessons and the got home right before a huge rain came back.. its been rainging alot since today.

Domingo: No rain in the moring an a showing of 60 people at church with 9 less actives and no investigadors so that was tough. but it was a good sunday. After words we studied had lunch and then heaed out and wtih in like 10 minutes all of our plans fell through. but we made some on the go back up plans and had a good day. WE did see this sick socer game though, the whole town comes out to watch tm its like a highschool football game but there where like 10 nut megs and a goal in the 5 minutes we watched.. it was insane! then we went and comoitted some people to go to eneral conference this next weekend. and had a good lesson with the dad of two investigators and another with a memebre and his noon memebe sister, it ended up being a super good night! we got home right before the big rain and then i had to call everyone in my new district which now takes like and hour and a half.. so thats great,,, but imexcited it looks like we are about to see alot of success here. abnd then i went to bed.

Lunes: today got up and went to luque.. looked around a little bit and then headed to shang gru la to eat some good ol chinese food and after that came to the cyber to right you guy... not too much new stuff...

time flies

3-24-14

wow time flies by so fast im only two and a half changes until the year mark.... but any who here is how the week went!
Lunes: We started by teaching at the soto household, which is a mixture of less active members, and non members and talked to a girl that is 15 dating a 20 year old less active member and they have been dating for 5 years... crazy ehhh.. it actually went really well, i just dont know if the 15 yearold could get marrried or would want too.. but we will hope for the best, after we went down and helped matías and lorena and ilsa move houses two streets aways andwhile we were bringing the last things over it started to pour.. that was fun.. after that we taught a little bit and the rain passed over and we made it home.
Martes: Rained a ton this morning and couldnt even make it to district meeting dry. But we got there and had a good meeting where i taught about diligence.. something we all need always in every part of life. it went well. Afterwords we started a division and i headed out with elder singer. He is just about to finish up his training and is awesome. we went to lunch... still pouring a ton of rain, left lunch still pouring rain.. but by the time we left to teach after studying it was  a little clearer. So that was awesome. Then we went to Lorenas house again and they are doing really good except there house kinda flooded today.. by the time we got there it was all dries out but that would definately be a tough life. After words we contacted a family in front that could be someone we start teaching more, and then we went and the same family wee have ndh with and they pretended to be investigators like we did with elder turley at the beginging of the change.. it was good and it really is a great way to get new elders practice. It was good and afterwords we had some bread and meat cream cheese like spread it was good.
Meircoles: We switched back and then did some studying and headed out. We went and met with this less active guy from a family and he has been opening up more and more to us which is awesome and then he told us the house next door that they are watching has a demon in it.. and he kind of challenged us to try and cast it out.. so we will see what happens with that we told him we would think about it.. i just dont know if thats the smartest thing to do.... or if there really is one there but we will see what happens. after we were walking over to our progressing family and got caught in the rain.. a family let us in and we were able to get a good teaching opportunity out of it. There was a grandpa there who was turning 92 so that was cool. After we met with our family who is trying more and more to learn english but they say each time that it is really hard for them. We are really hoping things start getting a little easier soon but its not ever that easy to learn a language haha. after we tried to meet with one more family but they didnt end up being home so we headed back to the house.
Jueves: Well we went on a division with the elders right by us from Y´Bera. I went to the other area with elder Mundo. It was really good he is about to finish his mission he heads home in june but is a great guy. We visited all there less active people and had some really good lessons but the overall topic of the day was talking about marriage.. he said that thats one of the only things on his mind and he isnt sure what he is going to do about it when he gets back.. so that was a fun day haha. we ended that division the same night and then elder turley ordered pizza... hes awesome :) haha. Its sio nice to be in the city now haha.
Viernes: started the day off with weekly planning which went good. and after that we went contact exploring for all the referencias we have recived in an area.. and almost came up with nobody but found one of the families and they said they would come back to church this sunday. afterwords we went and i had to interview some baptism canidates for the hermans which went well they want me and elder turely to baptize them so that should be fun. (no one else in the ward could attend, and there was a long story behind it.) afterwords we went back, taught a couple more lessosn the highlight being ariels family. a return missionary after 4 months who came home becuase he didnt like his comp, but wants to baptize his whole family. I gave his mom a blessing of health which was good and then we shared a little bit with her. At the end we taught her how to pray and she cried during her pray. It was so awesome the spirit was super strong. Amazing how much your life can change and how much love you can feel from our heavenly father if you just talk to him.
Sabado: Crazy day!! we studied and then left to go help an hermana make empanadas for a reilf society activity, that was cool. then we made ourselves lunch which was good, finished our studying, and headed out to teach three or four people but no one was home.. we got one lesson in with a less active family and then another one where we found an active girl home with non member family. We got to try mate dulce which is sooooooooo good... ill be drinking it in rexburg all the time, and then we headed out to the baptism of the hermanas. WE got there and the one i was supposed to baptize.. (her second try being baptized in two weeks) was super nervous she is afraid of water and men so as you can imagine a baptism is the perfect combination of scary for her. Elder Turley went first and nailed it.. but while he was baptizing the sister that i was supposed to baptize started crying, ran into the bathroom, and changed her clothes into street clothes, and ran out of the chapel... it was because of one of the guy memebrs there that freaked her out right before the baptism which was tough... but after the hermansas talked to her she said she would get baptized next week.... hopefully. I felt sooooo bad for her. Then we made it back home and taught ariels sister... she is super cool to and he really wants his whole family to be members. It got pretty cold tonight and we made our way home after.
Domingo: Today was a great day! we had 75 people at church 9 less actives, and 3 investigators so things are growing out here in laurelty! during sacrament meeting i had to confirm both matías and ilsa, which was good but hard to do back to back like that. after we had a good lunch with hte family fernandez, and then got some studying in. Then we went and taught a kid who is about to turn 8 that is from the soto family. he and his grandma are active and he want to get baptized really bad so we are gonna help him prepare himself really good. after we vistied lorena and the famliy and watched the joseph smith video with them.. it was super awesome! we also saw a little kid pull down his pants and poop in his front yard. we got home and cleaned the house and then called ita night.
Lunes: today i went and boutgh some sick leather shoes that ill send a picture of next week, they are supposed to last a life time.. i also got an official paraguay jersey. THen i met up with elder bristol and we ate lunch and headed to the cyber.. later we are headed to the soccer museum after so that should be cool... othe rthan that that was the week.
Lots of blessings coming our way out here in laruelty. things are looking really good....
Love you guys a ton!

gettin' it going in Laurelty

3/17/14

Well another week down and toppin it off yesterday with a baptism!
Lunes: Well today was a good one. We went and dropped the laundry off and then nobody that we planned to teach was home. So that was a bit frustrating... except for Lorena Ilsa and Matías. So we taught them and found out that they had lied to us and that the grandma (Ilsa) smoked still, so we sat down with her and told here that if she smoked this week we would have to change the baptism date, but that we were gonna help her quit. so we left and i was pretty sure we were gonna have to change the date of the baptism.
Martes: Had a district meeting this morning and taught about finding peoples needs, and the importance on focusing that the gospel helps with everything, literally what ever need or doubt we have in life. It was good, i also picked up a watch i saw on a corner, since ive came here ive boughten 4 watches.. they are super sick!! and like 12 bucks a pop.. ill try and get a picture of them all too you next week. after words we ran to lunch and found out the owner had a bunch of little service projects she needs done around her yard and stuff.. so we are going to have to help with that hee pretty soon. then we did some studying and finnally got out to teach.. tuesdayd go by so fast now! We taught the soto family who seem to be reallyclose to coming back to church, and after we helped our investiator family get started on the basics with english.. so hopefully theyll be able to use the book of mormon to learn it soon. afterwords we had a good noche de hogar and turley got a cake for a late birthday celebration... i like when my comps have birthdays haha :)
Miercoles: Well not much to report from today, not too many people were home or would let us in as you probably hear way to often, but we did have one lesson with a less actie that should totally be a missionary. but he is 26 and said that it is not the thing for him anymore... hopefully we can help him change his mind... then we went and taught eva and here family.. her dad is almost always drunk and is really quite a funny old man.. he went off with questions about joesph smith and how elijah is a second god and spent some good time talking with elder turley which was awesome practice for him! it was a good time. afterwords we went to see matías and ilsa to check on our smoking problem to not find them at home so that made things a little scarier... but we went home and just kept praying.
Jueves: We had zone meeting today.. it was a good one, we found out we get to go to the temple on april 15th and that may 2nd we have a general athourity coming. so thats super awesome! We ocused on plannign better and getting more baptisms as a mission during zone meeting. It was good. then we had lunch with the family lopez, got our studies in and headed out into the rain! but we got out and it stopped pretty soon after.. then we taught fmailia soto which went well and after ariel.. a missionary who returned after 4 months and came back because he lost his temper and asked to leave. he said it was one of his biggest mistakes but that he wants to work with us now.. he also hasnt been released yet or gone to church since he has been home because he works a ton but hopefully we can get his mind set right here pretty soon! we werent able to get a hold of matías or ilsa or lorena again so we went home and are a little concerned if she would have actually stopped smoking or not.
Viernes: well we cooked our own lunch today, we made fries and each ate 1.1 pounds of choriso or those little sausage things.. they are super good... it was awesome. after that we did a ton of contacting which wasnt fun but it was good, then we visited soto again who keeps showing more and more intrest as a family which is super awesome. after that i had to go to the hermanas area and do to baptism interviews for a 15 year old gil and an 11 year old girl... its so crazy to think that they put the trust of knowing if someone is ready for baptism in the hands of 19 year olds like me and then my comp quickly  reminded me that joesph smith was 14 when he had the first vision so its not like im doind anything impotant hahah it was funny. bbut it went well they definately wanted to be baptied and seemed to have a good knowledege of the convanent that they where making. after we swung by and talked a little bit in the door way with the dad of the family we are trying to hlp get baptized, it was really good and he said he would do all he could to go to church but coming from a paraguayan its more of a believe it when i see it kind of thing. Then we had a good lesson with a less active and went down and finnally found lorena and matías and they both said that they hadnt seen ilsa smoke which truely was a miracle, after we talked to ilsa herself when she got home and she confirmed it and said she hadnt smoked at all! which means we are having a baptism this sunday!!!! it was super awesome!!
Sabado: Well the day started by pouring down a ton of rain and we had to leave in it because we had a couple people we said we would visit in the moring. but no one was home so that was kind of frustratin. so we went to lunch at the bishops house and that was pretty good. After that we went with him to fill up the baptismal font and clean it out. That took a while but i think its cause the ward hasnt seen a baptism in a long time. Then we went and finished our studying and afterworeds no one let us in util we had to go to the stake center to stat a division with elder behymer the zone leader. We went thee made sure everything thig was good and set up well for the baptism and then we headed out, but elder turley wanted to see if elder behymer could get pizza delivered to our area so he gave us his card and the challenge.... we got back and went and did the interview, and they both passed just fine!! he said that they were super awesome! so that was cool then we got a call fro the hermanas saying that one of the girls didnt get baptized because her feet popped out and she was too embarresed to do it again, but they talked her into doing it next week and she said yes, if someone with more expierence did it, they asked if i could, and that means i have to do antoher interveiw again too, but we will see, if someone else from the ward can then that would be better but otherwise i could have to baptize someone else as well. then we got home, elder behymer successfully ordered pizza and we enjoyed.. it was a good night and one of the best divisions ive been on!
Domingo_ Well got up in the morning and made the switch back with my comp, then we came home and got our baptism stuff ready and headed to church. WE had a good frist two hours and then for sacrament meeting we had 64 people there with 2 lss actives and our 2 baptism canidates as the only investigators there. I had to give a talk in church on missionary work which was nice. It lasted about 12 minutes. Than after church we had ourselves a baptism!! my comp went first and killed it! and then i went and it went well as well. it was sooooo awesome! afterwards we got some studying in, had to cook our own lunch, and then went and visited lorena and eva, they said that they loved the baptism and that they felt amazing, and eva has been sick and her husband still drinks... alot.... so that an area we will have to fix. But it was a killer sunday!!
Lunes: Today we tried to play football but the field we went to was closed, so we went to the office and got some stuff we needed and then we went to burger king and then headed to the cyber to write you guys!
Overall it was an awesome week and awesome to get a baptism so fast in this new area! hope all is going well with you guys and that tanner isnt dating too much now!! haha
Love you all soo much!

so much rain

3/10/14

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! to dad and tanner!!! crazy to think that you guys are getting so old..... well heres what happened last week... bad news... i forgot my little notecard that i normal use to help organize my letters.. so hopefully this one has some good info and i dont forget to much.

Lunes: Well after talking to you guys we got to work. We went and visited a less active family who just doesnt seem to understand the importance of doing things.. they understand the doctrine perfectly... so hopefully they can get back to church soon. After we tried to swing by pablo but he couldnt talk to us... so we went over to the familia lopez home to have a Noche de Hogar.... It was good we played with flour and had a good time. After that we headed home and called it a night.

Martes: Today was also a good one. WE had district meeting where i taught about giving and making commitments and that went well, then we went to lunch and had a super good talk with the home owner (whose not a member) about why little kids dont need to be baptized (moroni 8) it was a super good lesson. then we had to go to the cyber where i had to take care of some district leadeer stuff that took forever!!! it was not fun but afterwords we got some studying in and we cooked a little bit for the FHE we were having.. i made potatoe soup... yeah thats right me.. this guy.. be impressed hahahah. While all that was happening it was pouring rain outside!! so we really did make good use of our time.. after that we went and taught our family that went to church and the dad wasnt there but we were able to introduce the book of mormon to the rest of the family and they seemed to be really intrested they even asked for a baptism date which was awesome. Afterwords we got a phonecall cancelling the FHE so that meant more potatoe soup for us... it really wasnt that good though... they dont have brcili or that many vegitables down here.... so we headed to a couple other families and then called it a night.

Miercoles: Today was a rough one. For about three or 4 hours we were stuck with nothing to do but contact and try and get into houses... and no one let us in.. its tough reopening an area.but we were able to get some good quality lessons in with a less active couple and a couple other people but reallly nothing to exciting that happened today. Though... the birthday festivities did officially start to day because it was mercedes birthday! ( the girl from the couple i helped get married from remansito) so i gave them a call and got to talk to them a little bit and found out why they werent going to church and hopefully helped them remember the importance of going to church... so ill see if they actually go this sunday. but that was nice to be able to talk to them!

Jueves: Today was good we did almost the same as yesterday. we did a lot of contacting and not much getting let in... its tough, but good. The one thing i saw that i never wanted to see was a dude that was just on the side of the road squated over taking a dump.. like in the middle over evrything in front of everyone... it was gross, and weird, and a little awesome that that actually happened. We did have the ndh reschedule for tonight so i made potatowe soup again and made it way better last time.. i finished cooking the potatoes in the broth like mom said she does.. ( atleast i think i heard that from you once...) and it was way better.. i used my montrial steak season stuff as pepper and althouhg we didnt have chesse or anything like that it was super good. We headed down there had a good lesson taught by the family and then enjoyed some potatoe soup and bread.... paraguayans were not ready forit.. they dont eat wet soup ever.. and they have 0 tolerance for spicy things... they said it was super hot and i was like.. thats not even anything hot.. like its just a little pepper.. but they dont have that down here so they thought it was crazy hot.... After we alked about movies we had seen.. i havent seen like anything.. but i want to see disney movies in spanish when i get back so if anyone is down to watch them te invito. 

Viernes: DADS BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO i got up and had a good day today.. just cause it was dads birthday haha. but the day was almost the same as the others.. we had some weekly planning, which included plannig for a baptism that we should have this next sunday! and then got to get some teaching in.. it was fun. we got a couple lessons in and then at the end of the night celebrated good! We went to a part memebrs familes house who had an uncle that was celbrating a birhtday and were able to eat some asadao!! it was soooooooooooooo good. Some of the best ive had here. And we got to get to know this husband of a lady who is not very fond of the church.. he was a lotta intoxicated but he said that he would teach us how to cook asado like that some time soon. so that was fun to get a little celebrating in for dad!

Sabado: ELDER TURLEYS BIRTHDAY!!! my comp turned 20 today... crazy. we had lunched cancelled on us so we went and cooked some steaks and made some homade potatoe french fries.. yeah we did a lot of cooking this week.. but it was good i got to put a lot of my recipes ive learned her to the test. Then we had a member take us around and show us some houses which was really good and then we had some good lessons and afterwordswe got a couple lessons in with some people hoping that we would see them in church. To end the night we went to the bishops house (who cancelled lunch) and had some cake to celebrate elder turleys birthday. It was a good one! i hope he enjoyed it but over all it was a good day.

Domingo: Crazy awesome day! we had 61 people at church, and 5 of those were investigators! two that should be baptized after church next sunday and three that are part of the family we found.. we are still missing the dad! But it was super awesome to see those people in the church and to have so many people progressing towards baptism! afterwords we went and ate lunch with a family.. the first time actually making it there house on sunday and then got our studies in and headed out. we taught the mom of the family with a memebr.. who asked us to teach there daughters english so that they dont fail the class there in... we plan on doing it with the book of mormon so that should be awesome. after we went and taught matías and lorena and ilse who are moving houses but should be baptized next sunday. WE should be helping them paint there house here pretty soon as well. and after that we went to the fmail ylopez house so we could celebrate elder turleys birthday again. They made pizza and cake and then at the end of the night they crushed an egg on his head... through flour at him.. and then said we celebrated your birthday like your in india! it was super funny and he was cool about.. plus it was the laundry lady who did it anyway.. so if you guys wanted to its still close enough to dad and tanners birthday to do that to both of them! good luck!!

Lunes: today we hit up luque and got to know all of the souviner places kelby mom and mckenzie let me know what type of jewlrey you like.. ecspeacially if you like solid silver... its cheap here.. and tanner and dad i already have things in mind.. i bought a watch which is pretty cool but hopefully i can get some rolexs pretty soon.. you just be waiting hahah.. well that was the day up til now!

Love you all so much.. hope you all enjoyed the festivities this last week and had a good time!

Stay classy,

We alos taught our homeboy pablo who hopefully will have a little more intrest the next time we see him or we are going ot have to let him go.Got back exhausted because basketball was just bruttle.

Martes: We had a zone meeting today but because i already had it i just went for the first little bit and got taught how to be a district leader and then went back home.. it was good. Then we made some lunch in home..... that delicious biscutsw and gravy... and my comp cooked eggs. it was sick!! afterwords i had to go to the cyber and take care of new district leader responsibilietes which was super fun we also were told we were going to have division with the AP´s but then they never came out so that was cool and through us off alittle because we had planned to split the area for the day, but oh well. It was really hot and nobdoy was home anyway, We had a NDH with the family that did the joke on my comp and they are super good. Afterwords we ahd a lesson with a family that was almost completely in guarani and although i dont speak it fluently yet... i could understand quite a bit... so that was cool. 

Miercoles: Today was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long and nothing intresting happened... we walked all day.. no one let us in and it rained pretty good! the one lesson we got in was a lady whos husband doesnt like us and who wants the family to become members but we still need to meet the husband in order to get somewhere.. but yeah that was basically our wednesday.....

Jueves: WE had a sweet lesson at lunch today where this less active 19 year old guy cried at the end while he was praying it was super awesome and after that we had a super sweet lesson with luis one of our most promising investigators but its still not that promising yet.... but the lessonwas awesome it started with him saying he couldnt be baptized and then by the end he said he would be at church this sunday! so that was super awesome! After word we found this family who let us teach there daughters and brother so hopefully someday we will be able to teach the parents.

Then i had to bless the sacrament, and after we had to fend for ourselves and cook lunch again.. so much struggle with the food this week. but then we went and visited that mom and her two kids to find out the husband didnt want to talk to us... then i asked if we could get to know him a little and after a little explaning and a little convinvcing he joined us! which was super cool so we found a family!! they look super awesome!! after we ate some super good meat on a stick.. asaito with loreano and matías and ilse and then we went home and drank a lot of ades juice.-.... its this super good soy juice down here... htne we called it a night and a week... but i really hope things go well with this family!!! im super excited about them!
