To start out I'm doing really great! I'm loving this work and my testimony is growing every step I take. Lots of things happened this week that id like share I'm just going to have a hard time remembering them all! jaja
To get things started, I'm going to be heading up to my first area up in Pedro Juan Caballero. Ill be heading out tonight and I'll be traveling all night. Its about a 7 to 8 hour bus ride and we have to carry with us a laptop and a projector. Hopefully we don't get robbed. jaja we will see how it goes.
We are in a very rich area here in Asuncion so we have a lot of English speakers. Yesterday we had an Open Chapel activity here and all of those English speakers came and we got to do a whole presentation in just English! it was pretty dope.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out and work lately because there has been so many things that needed to get done like take missionaries to the terminal where all the buses are so that they can get back to their respective areas. And usually this all takes place in the night time and even in the early parts of the morning.
This week we had a big wig from Argentina come up and audit us as an Office. Ouch, that was rough. jaja There is a lot of things that we need to change. He was a really good guy but he kind of dropped us some fat cane. But the cool thing about it all was that we took him to his hotel after the audit at about 10:30 and we drove by the office building of the President of Paraguay. It was lit up really nicely and it was heavily guarded but we managed to snag a few fotos!! whats good!!
Today we went to TGI Friadays which is always great. but we did have a little run in with the drunk crew. This guy was downing shots like I have never seen before. The same guy came over to our table and asked us to take a picture with them at their table and it seamed harmless so we went. As someone was taking the picture he tried to get me to hold a beer bottle. It was a really lame attempt to try to get a picture out there of missionaries holding a beer bottle. Well I told him that I don't drink and I wont be in the picture if the beer is going to be in it. After that him and his group of really ignorant people just started talking some dirty trash talk. It was sad to see how little they knew about the church as well as how much they thought they knew about the church. Probably the saddest thing was that they didn't have ranch dressing to put of my salad! jaja
You know what, I forgot a lot of the thing that i had planned to write about! jaja oops!! I guess they will just have to wait until next time!!
I love you all so much and i hope you all the most amazing weeks.
