Jan 19, 2015

My Goodness,

Family and friends, it is honestly so good to talk to you guys!! i hope you all had the best weeks of your lives because you deserve it!! ; )

Really though this week has been really great!! This week we had changes!! whoo hoo I am still in good old Villa Hayes but with another newbie, Elder Garcia!! ; ) He is super fun to be around and i love him a lot! i'm super excited to teach him and learn from him!! it'll be a good change!! i'm excited!!

Elder Garcia from Uruguay!

Right now we are working with a Miriam still, whose son died about a month ago! We need to teach her a lot this week but we can never find her! so for that reason, i think here baptismal date is going to fall. . . again!! :,( but when we do talk to her, she is super excited to be a member of this church! Honestly, talking with her and teaching her has developed my testimony a lot!!

Oh and my Comp. is a really good cook so i I've been eating really great!! haha YES! #win
Along with that, we had lamb shops the other day at a members house! its probably not that cool but it was a new experience for me!! haha!!


I honestly love you guys sooooo stinkin much and i hope you have an even better week than the last!! 

XOXOXOXO

While "chatting" with Jeffrey today, here is some of our conversation:

Question...do you guys ever get to go exploring and see the sights in your area?
hahah im in Paraguay, there are no sights to see!! haha sorry but Paraguay is not a very touristy place!! ; (
What??  I hear the Chaco is kinda cool.  It was settled by German Mennonites after WW2 and they have giant anacondas there!
haha yeah there are only 6 elders in the Chaco and its the hardest area in the mission! its super hot and not a lot of members!
Haha sounds you're destined to go there.  You can wrestle an anaconda and you can take the heat !
hhahahah maybe in the future!!

**The Chaco is a very remote part of their mission where water is scarce and temperatures are HOT.  No sister missionaries are sent there.
Here is a blog link that tells more about it:
