well we got some changes this week... but heres what happened this week...
Lunes: Well we got back to our house and had a super great night planed out but then almost all of those plans fell through and we taught Fabiola, who should be baptized this sunday, and then we had a FHE with an active member family inviting them to invite friends to a fireside that we were having with a seventy, so that went really well, we ate pizza after, it was good.
Martes: Started the day with district meeting, it went well we focused on baptism and a goal we could set and how we would reach it, it became a simple lesson really, Jesus taught that we have to be baptized, we are baptized in order to recieve the remision of our sins, or to be cleansed of all the things weve done wrong, baptism must be done by someone with gods authority or permision to do so, and if we do it we have the chance to return to live with him. The lesson was to make sure the people we teach understand that and that we understand that they cant be saved and that we really have the love for those people. it was good. I also got a package from you guys!!! thanks a ton!! it had hair gel sweedish fish and a ton of ranch.. one packet exploded but it wasnt too bad to clean up... it was good! thanks sooooooo much!! afterwords i went and did sheeps, and then we headed out to teach. WE had a lesson with a girl that is the girlfriend of a less active memeber, and it was super awesome, we applied what i taught/learned and it worked super well, then we went and taught fabiola again who is cerquita to being baptized. and afterwords we went and visited lorena matìas and ilsa who are doing good but matìas is sick. They plan on going this thursday as well to the seventys fireside.
Miercoles: Today it RAINED!!!!! so much i really didnt know if we would be able to leave, but after making a few phone caalls we left igual. we made it to lunch and it continued pouring the whole time, and then left lunch to enter a river, it was crazy people were yelling at us telling us it was super dangouerous (mainly becuase paraguayans dont know how to swim, but we were careful. The best was when an old lady yelled at us you guys need to pray more, this is not good, this is not from god it was funny cause it was like, well you can pray, and actually everything is from god, or else he isnt all powerful. jajaja then we made it to the next lesson with juana and the rain stopped after we visited the martinez family and then we went to a bunch of houses were people were either not home or not wanting to leave there house to let us in because of the mud. we tried to visit with fabiola again but there were abunch of drunk people at the house and they kicked us out when we got there, so that was fun, then we got pizza and headed home.
Jueves: today we headed to lunch, taugh the galeano family, and then contacte a bunch to help grow our pool of investigadors, we contacted a guy who said he was an acholholic and that he wanted to change, and we found a lady and her grandson who were very catholic, nice, and gave us a bag full of grapefuit. Then we went and waited for the colectivo that took us to see elder wilhelm from the seventy, it was super awesome we had 4 investigadores and 2 less actives show up and the talks were great, it was hard to focus completely because lots of kids were trying to play with us, but better that we were distracted then the parents and older siblings of the kids. After we got a ride home from members in our ward, in a mercedes, and they bought us dinner, they areone of the richer families in paraguay so it was super awesome and a great way to end a great fireside.
Viernes: WE started today by going back to the luque centro chapel to have zone meeting with elder wilhelm, it was good, an AP spoke (15 min), then Sister McMullin spoke on using preach mygospel more (30 min), then president spoke about baptism (30 min), and then listened sister wilhelm who spoke on preach my gospelk and praying with faith (1 1/2 hours!!!!!) and the Elder Wilhelm spoke on using the mission agenda and praying with faith (1hour) then we took a photo got luncha and headed home. It was super good.. just a little long but i really did learn a ton!! after words we did a little bit of studying helped the home owner decorate beneath our house for a quincineta for a girl this saturday... that was good, then we went and visited adriana and she seems to be progressing, and then we passed by a few more people and had the last lesson with fabiola and she is super ready.
Sabado: Today we started the day witha super awesome plan! and then as we left the house we realized there were many things that we did not plan for.. namely prepare the baptismal font.. so that was fine we went and taught un poco contacted un poco and cleaned and prepared the font. Then we had the baptismal interview, and she passed after we got a lesson in and put the next fecha for the end of may and called it a day.
Domingo: TOday was super good, we had 76 people at church and 10 less actives, and fabiola came, so that was awesome because after church we had the privelage to baptize her. It was awesome after we went to lunch, and we got changes, early. On a sunday. Me and Elder turley are seperating he will be five minutes away but in the other zone and with a latin comp, i will be comps with elder fippen, the zone leader, i also will be going up as zone leader. Crazy i was not ready to hear that one but i guessif thats what president wants then ill do it. after that we went and taught a little more, we went to some old investigators and had some good bible talk, its just all the scriptures i used from the bible werent as true as all the scriptures they used from the bible so that was frustrating, but oh well, then we went and visited camila for her birthday, and her cousin was there who we taught lesson one.,.. looked like a golden investigator, but then after eveerything said she was a member, it was funny haha then we went home and called it a night.
Lunes: Today was good i got some watches in luque, i also got a guarani bible, then we ran to the office, and then we went and got mcdonalds... then i ran into elder hall who is going to my first zone as zone leader this change to, im soo excited to be able to actually se him now that he isnt lejos.. after we came and wrote you!!
Well that was my exciting week.. we´ll see what happens with this whole zone leader thing.. cant wait to see you this week, love ya all tons!!
Love
Elder Jace Gummersall
