August 29 - another week in the Paraguay

Story time.  Because im a new missionary, we have a lot of study time in the morning. So at 8 we have personal study, then we have two hours of comp study, then we have another hour of language study.  then its time for lunch.  We are lucky and have 4-5ish lunch appointments with ward members in our area, and if not we just cook lunch.  So generally we dont even start working till 1ish, then from there we just go to lessons with our investigators or just tract or just do whatever we have scheduled, then return home around 9 and then we prep for the next day and sleep time.  I have never slept so good in my life! im just drained at the end of each day and just pass out within a minute or two.  As far as our investigators go we really only have 2 progressing investigators and just a bunch of people that we need to follow up with and a bunch that we have only taught once.  We had two baptisms on saturday, with the confirmations on sunday.  I wil try to send the picture for  you guys, but dont hate me if you dont get it.  i baptised one of them and the branch president baptised the other.  but here is the sad news, later last night we went over to the guy that i baptised´s house and we were 99% sure he was pretty freaking drunk, which means that he lied to us to get baptized.  so now we just got to keep an eye on him and see what happens.  thats pretty much all the stories from this week.  Its hot again, probably close to 90 plus the humidity and its only going to get warmer.

My comps name is Elder Lane, he is from cali and has a twin brother in argentina, we get along just fine.  The food is pretty good.  its definitely not going to be a problem for me to eat stuff so i should be good.  I am living in a flat in Horqueta which is like 8 hours north of Asunción.  we have running water, and a water heater that is on our shower head, which gets the water pretty hot.  We have a laundry lady that does our clothes, so no washing machines.  Am i staying healthy? its hard to say, but i will just say yes so you dont worry.

Anyway thats pretty much it.  Tonight i get to ride a bus all night to get to a town called Santaní, which is where he are having our zone conference, so thats pretty cool.  And Guaraní is really weird and everybody speaks it.  so yeah thats it for now.  Peace- Elder Treviño
