Well heres the week in a flash for ya!
Lunes: We contacted a drunk lady our more like a house hold very under the influence of many things and this lady sang us a song about jesus... it was intresting pretty good, but we invited her to church and see if we can come back in a more sober hour. Then we went and had a good lesson with an investigator that is really really progressing named karina, but she said that she doesnt want to get marrieed... so thats gonna be a struggle to work with.
Martes: Had some good studies and then went to district meeting it went well, afterwords we had a good lunch and then got some contacting in... then we had a lesson in almost all guarani.. it was tough and with an old lady but it was good then we wenty and had a good lesson with jorge.. the boyfriend of an investigador who is pretty cool, it went well and then as we were on our way out the rain came down like no other! so we fleed to evas house and were able to have a pretty good lesson there.. her kids are aways pretty crazy though but it was alright. After that we went and had a lesson with this guy named isabelino he is pretty cool, and seems like he could e a pretty good investigador is he can get to church soon. After that we had a NDH with the familia prieto and cooked french toast, it turned out pretty good. then we called it a night.
Miércoles: Started a division with elder ellefson today, hes a great guy, im trying to get him to go to byui but hew has wedding bells in his head so we will see what happens. It rained all day but we still had a pretty good one. We had lunch with the stake young womens president who is the first leader ive ever met in paragauy to take intiative and lead the youth like she does. Its a huge help to the stake and it is crazy to think of how far behind paraguay is to the states. after that we had a cople of good lessons with rodney.. a really cool 12 year old and his family that are thinking about baptism. and we had some good lessons with less active memebrs. After that we had a lot of time to contact before we enjoyed some delicious hamburgers that were super cheap. And to top the night off elder ellefson gifted me one of his 70 ties. he has a bunch of really cool ties becuase he worked at JCP before the mission.
Jueves: Well switched back, but went back to my area with elder faucett on another divisoin. He came to the mission with me and is pretty cool as well. I never knew him too well until today. WE got some really good work in while it rained allllll day long! we did get a good visit in with the hermana serafina and with karina, who still isnt too excited about marriage. we are still workig with her though. The rain her is incredible! cant beleive how it just keeps coming down! it is actually causing some serious flooding damage really sad. We mnade the switch back and then called it a day.
Viernes: We had weekly plannign today followed by lunch while it was still raining! 3 days straight. We did get to visit a preist for a churhc who actually seems to be really close to coming to church and seeing how everything is, he is super cool and would be a great leader i nthe church someday! After that we went and visited another investigator.. i think people can see the importance of the message we have when we are out side in the pouring rain.. it was pretty intrestig to see there faces when w eshowed up to there houses.. but some people wwouldnt leave because it was just to wet.. crazy.
Sabado: More rain all day long.. it is really sad actually it ruins lots of things in peoples house and there are lots of times where there is nothing they can do but sit on there couch or table and watch there stuff floating in there house until the rain slows down and the house drains alittle bit.. lifes just a little different down here then up there right haha. we started today by trying to get some good work in but no one let us in before lunch. We cooked it at our house again. bishops wife has been pretty sick these last couple weeks, she has cancer, and is such a champ for all the things she does while fighting it! we did get to visit karina joal and juana, a old dude named milano and then got to vistit veroncia and her family and it ended up being a pretty good day, got home cold and wet.
Domingo: Well today started cloudy but it wasnt raining, we had 61 people in church with 1 investigtor and one less active.. a little bit of a decrease from the last couple weeks, but we did teach the 5th sunday class on home and visiting teaching and then elder phippen had a talk in sacrament meeting it was pretty good. After that we went and ate a big lunch and then went and taught the family soto and then visited Gato a priest we are trying to help prepare for a mission and then we visited serafina, and then we swung by ariel. It was a pretty good day and a decent week for all the rain...
Lunes: Wait its my birthday today? hahah i got a ton of birthday emails! so thank you to everyone who sent me one.. i will respond when time allows it! we went to the ciber for an hour this morning and then to pizza hut and then to the nike store which ended up having lke nothing in it... it was kind of a dissapointment, but now i have knowledge for the rest of my mission of what is there.. overall a pretty good, and beautiful day! cant wait to get working tonight!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes again and hope everything is going fine with you guys! pray for the flooding inb paraguay.... aparently there will be a huge rain storm frmo august until december... it happens once every twenty years.. hoping it doesnt happen...
