You
guys are going to laugh so hard at this one. Haha, well as you know, this week
was changes but for our zone and our zone leaders like to have a little bit of
fun. so we all sat done and they went
through and told each person, one by one, if they got changes and if so, where
they were going. There were a bunch of
changes in our zone of Pedro Juan Caballero… a lot of people got called to
train including my “papa”, Elder Fielding, but one change that through everyone
for a loop, was mine! I got called to go
to Villa Hayes to finish the training of Elder Clark. That very well blew my mind. At first I thought that my zone leaders were
just messin with me but they were completely serious, so now, I’m training
Elder Clark in Villa Hayes, how crazy is that!!
A
little bit about Villa Hayes,…
haha
definitely didn’t mean to send that yet.
okay
now...
A
little bit about Villa Hayes,
Here,
in the ugly town of Villa Hayes we have a lot of dirt. There is only two paved roads in this town and
all the rest are dirt and instead of sidewalks they have their gutter which in
reality, is their sewer, so every house has a little wood bridge to get from
the street to their house. Also, here in
Villa Hayes, we have a family of donkeys that roam the streets as well as the
cows and horses. We also have a friendly
old man who sells Chipa out of the basket on his head. Chipa is a Paraguayan staple food, all it is,
is generally really dry cheese bread but they have found ways to make it more
appealing, so they have different flavors including Jamon y Queso and Carne.
But I think the best thing about Villa Hayes, that really makes it all worth
it, is that there are firefly’s!!
My
first week in Villa Hayes went really well. We had the baptism of Arturo which was
fantastic, we went to a lot of members houses and I introduced myself, we also
had a lot of people offer us food which is always awesome. The people here are super duper nice and
generous. They’re a lot more humble than
the people up in Pedro Juan. I’m not quite
sure why yet, but I love it. I have a
feeling I’m going to stay here a long time so I think I’ll get settled in. Oh, it was about 105 degrees yesterday and
super humid, not too fun but I’ll get over it.
Everything
is just dandy here in Paraguay and I’m loving every minute of it. Thank you for all of your support, I can
really feel your love for me, even from way down here.
Love
