What it do family and friends??                                                     Dec 15, 2014

Well I’ve got a story to tell, like always!! haha this was is a good story to tell but it doesn’t have the best outcome! Here it goes! Well, as you know we had a baptism this past Saturday with Nilda which was great, we have also been talking to her daughter who is about 30 and we had set a date for her to be baptized on the 27 of deciembre (December) but we have ran into a slight problem!! She is going to jail for 3 years starting in enero (January). haha uh oh!!  well she had a little bit of a run in with the law when she decided it would be a good idea to steal about 66,000,000 Guarani’s (about 12,000$).  We only know this because she stole it from a lady in our branch and she told us that she would finally be being doing her time after 5 years of actually committing the crime! #paraguayanlegalsystemssuck so...needless to say, she will not be getting baptized this week . . . or for a while! But it’s okay she needs to make it right and be truly repentant! 

This week we also had 4 investigators in sacrament meeting, and if you´ve ever been a missionary or know how the mission works, you would know that it’s lucky to have just one at church! 

After church we had the opportunity to go burn some trash! haha really that’s how we do it down here in Paraguay. We went over to a member’s house to find that he needed some help and what better thing is there to do on Sunday then help??  As we were cleaning up trash with sticks we came across our little/really big friend (refer to photo) the one with the giant spider in it. haha luckily we were weren’t doing this by hand because we also found a little snake but it ran away before I could take a picypic! dane it!!

Everything is going great here in Paraguay. It’s super-hot and our house is more humid than Satan but I’m loving it!!  we are in the pursuit of a new house so hopefully we can find one that is a little less humid! 

I love you all so much, thank you for the support and love! I hope you have a good week without me! :,( haha jus kitten. I love you! chou chou
