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
