Well, family, my companion and I are moving houses. I
honestly just couldn’t take having the mouse in the house. I just have a hard
time sleeping because of it. Just kidding. But we really are moving. The lady
that owns our house is being a pain in the bible. So we are just moving. We
already found a nice house. So, hopefully, next Monday we will be moving in.
Today we had to clean our whole house and this cleaning lady came. She
basically just made us clean it all. It took forever, but, oh well. Mom,
you would be proud; I scrubbed the bathroom like I had never done before. The
lady was like trying to harvest as much as she could from us. That’s how people
are here; they think we are rich. Like when we put our trash out, everyone goes
through it to look for things they can have. But yeah, I’m excited to get away
from that mouse. I saw it like 3 times this week. I’m fine, until I see it. Gee.
So this week was pretty normal for my companion and I. It
cooled down a lot this week! Which was so nice! I barely sweat this week – it felt
goooood. One night it was cooler, so we made this stuff called mate
dulce. It is soooo good! I can’t wait to make it for you when I get home! So
good! We also made a cake with a member yesterday! Mmm. The members are funny -
they don’t know how to cook out of the box, so we had to go make the cake for
her. But it was good.
So there is this cool sport here called PK Volleyball. They
actually play it a lot and volleyball too. PK Volleyball is sweet to watch them
play. It’s the same as normal volleyball, but you can’t use your hands. It
looks fun.
As for investigators, Juliana totally quit drinking. She
gets sick when she thinks about it and she is so excited for her baptism on the
7th! It’s been so cool to see her life change. She is a totally new person; she
is so much more happy. And now that she stopped drinking, her daughters came
back home and are living with her again. It’s been way cool to see her go from
bottom and rise up. Our other investigator, Christian, is progressing,
but needs to come to church! But he can’t because of work. He finally built up
enough faith to ask his boss this week and his boss said no, in a rude way. It
was way disappointing, but I know it will all work out! His wife and son always
come to church though. (Or I guess his girlfriend) They are such an awesome
family. I love teaching them.
As for my companion and me, it seems that as the days go by,
we just laugh more and more. We have a good time and its enjoyable. I get along
with all the Elders here. It’s been sweet.
As for the storm you guys heard about, it didn’t hit my area
hard. It’s just rained really hard and there was a lot of wind, so our power
went out for a bit. So don’t worry, mom! I’m all good! Sorry, I don’t have much
to say today. And I need to get better at taking pictures. The picture is of the
inside of the bus we ride. They are always way decorated and funny inside. So
classic. So, ummm... yeah. I’m doing great family and I love you! I hope you
are all visiting the temple often and what not. Life is good in Paraguay. The
people make me laugh. They are all really surprised when I understand them. Some
people tell me that every time they look at me they just want to laugh, because
they say I’m always doing something silly. But I have no idea what they are
talking about. Maybe it’s my face when I can’t understand or, gosh, I don’t
know. The people here are so classic.
Well, I don’t have much more to say.. I can’t believe I have
been in Paraguay a month. It’s going by fast. Um. Also, I wish to say my
goodbyes to the lobster (Our little red car). I hope it’s in good hands. I will
miss it, but, I think I will be happier with a nice new truck that you guys buy
when I get home ;) Eh? Ya? laters.
