so my pday will always be on monday unless i get assigned to work at the office later in my mission, just so you know.

we got our luggage the next day so that wasn´t to long of a wait but i had been in the same clothes for four days at that point, so i was smelly and my facial hair was definitely not up to mission code.

The first two days we were in Asunción, and that city is crazy status.  depending on where you are in the city you get people trying to sell stuff and weaving but mainly peds do that. and now its story time, i will try to get you guys up to date.

the first night we stayed at the office elders apartment cause it serves as the night houde for transferring elders as well, and that was a pretty nice flat compared to a lot of other places here.  On wednesday we went to the only hill  in the city called lombare and tooks pics and stuff up there.  speaking of pics i will try to send some if i have enough time. then after that we went back to the mission office and met our new companions and got our assignments and areas and stuff.

my comps name is elder lane, and we are assigned to the Horqueta A area in the concepción zone.  Horqueta is 8 hours away from Asunción so we had to take a bus out here right after we had a little orientation.  that was a seriously long bus ride.  we got to horqueta around 11 at night and i unpacked then went to bed.

The next morning we had to wake up early because we then needed to do a companion exchange.  One of the investigators in horqueta needed a baptismal interview and we needed to have a zone leader come do the interview be cause my comp is also a district leader.  So we went to concepción which is an hour and a half bus ride there.  we then exchanged and i went with elder tensmeyer for the day. during the day i also split from elder tensmeyer because of baptismal interviews and went with elder johnson.  so my first day i was with three different companions, and i wasnt even in my area.  

on friday i finally had my first day in my area, and it was rainy and cold, probably about 40-50 degrees plus however humid it is, so its pretty stinking cold.  and its windy to, and it has been ever since.  on sat we found a sweet investigator, and a sweet investigator yesterday too.

In church yesteday, the branch pres had me stand up and introduce my self so that was kinda cool, but other than that thats all i got for ya.
