Wild Week of Changes

9/15/14

well got changed this week it was a pretty intersting week, but a good one at that...

Lunes: After we had concilio we made our way back to laurelty and then went and visited Richard and Mariana and followed that up by visiting an  old investigator, from the familia arza, it went pretty well. After that we called it a night. Pretty hard to focus not knowing if ill be gettig changed or not but igual no màs!! 

Martes: Well got all ready started doing studies and got a phone call with the changes. Got the noticia that id be going to Luque 1b, which is really close to where im at but in the other stake so still a change, and is actually part of the heart of the city of luque so that should be intresting to be more in the city, it was one of the first stakes in all of paraguay and im excited to go there, ill still be szone leader and will be companions with elder Greer, who trained elder bristol, he is in his last change so ill be killing him as well, call me assasins creed thatll be the second that i send home hahahaha. After that we went and had district meeting and then we went to lunch and let the game of saying goodbye begin. It was pretty stressful but i got to just about everybody.. crazy to think of how long i have been in Laurelty... 7 months, sure do love the people here, and really hope that things wil continue to grow. Hard to say good bye to everyone but thats just how it goes sometimes.... the photos and captions should explain all that happended with saying goodbye.

Miercoles: Today got up early and said goodbye to Laurelty, and headed in to luque centro.. my new chapel for changes. It was a l ittle heckdicht. Lots went home including my dad.. Elder Rodriguez.. that was sad but he is gonna kill it and go baptize his family. Also Elder Sprenger and Wolfgram went home.. two of the funniest missionaries i met, but its just how life goes, i got with elder greer, and then headed back to my new house. we studied and went to lunch and then let the new life beging. We found this cool new named oscar who hopefully we can visit more his family, after which i got introduced to the investigators that w have. One being yanina the daughter of an active mom, after that cintia the girlfriend of a member that is starting to reactivate. She seemed super cool, after that we talked to a different cintia, an investigator couple that could be a baptism soon. Afterwords we went and talked to Marta, she was cool a less active that is trying to reactivate, and then we went and taught eglish class, or better yet elder greer went and taught english class. It was cool i have never done that in my mission but it is one way to help find people. Then we went and i met some of elder faucetts converts from when he started the mission, they where super cool. After that we called it a day.. this area is pretty cool , i like it a lot, and it is WAY bigger than anypther area ive had so that should be cool. Pretty excited for this change.

Jueves: We went to the church and worked on the MLS list, which is something that every other ward ive been in has struggled with so its cool to have a wardthat seems to know how to work. After that we headed to lunch and then got a call from the assistence saying that we had to change some area borders with some areas from our zone so we went to the ciber and that took forever. after that we went to work and were able to get 4 lessons in.. it hard for me to remember eveyones names and how to get home and how the map works and all that but its all good itll come hahah. 

Viernes: Did some weekly planning. Then we ate lunch with the familia coleman, the dad there is a conselor for president McMullin so that was cool, after that we had a big day of visiting less actives, it went really well, we also found a really cool new named wlater who has family memebers that are memebers. After but thats the best that i can explain our day.. hahah sorry new area.. not as easy to remmebre exactly how the cookie crumbbled.

Sabado: Did some studies, went and did a service project of moving a bunch aof bricks and then after that we realized that my comp had lost his phone so that made life real difficult.. but its whatever. We went and visited oscar again, after hat we swung by cintia and enrique and then we went to yananina and then swung by founf d a cool new named luis, and ended the day visiting the fmailia ovelar. Sounds like church will be a good day tomorrow at church. Last week they had 72 people at church so looks like about the same as laurelty.

Domingo: WOW!! what a day!!!! we had 96 people at church!!!! 8 less actives and 3 investigators.. it was crazy how full it was!! i cant wait to help it grow!!! after that we took the sacrament to an older lady and then we went had some lunch, studied a little bit and then went taught a lesson to a cool new named vanessa, followed up by the best ward concil meeting that i have ever had in paraguay. Then to top the day off we went and taught a recent convert named Gabriela. It was a super good day.. we have 14 returned missionaries in our ward and im super stoked to be here!!!!
