Week of April 16
This week was decent. Monday, we went in to Asunción to get some things for my comp. And while we were in the mission office, I got the two ackages of protein, and the shoes. The shoes are a bit big, but there is a guy I'm teaching that works with shoes and he is putting padding in them to make the smaller and fit better. And then we sat on a bus for 2 during rush hour to get back to our area. Lame. My comp says thanks for the Jelly beans.
Tuesday was pretty normal, and nothing really happened.
Wednesday was awesome. We were able to do some service for a family that we are teaching, the same guy that works with the shoes, and it was super fun. We cut down like 6 different trees and cleaned the yard and stuff like that. It was fun and we were there most of the day. Im disappointed though cause I forgot to take my camera. Lame. Was fun though.
Thursday and Friday it rained all day and we only taught a couple of people.
Saturday was better and we found a couple of new people to teach and we caught up for time lost with lessons and stuff like that.
And Sunday we had a really good sacrament meeting and priesthood meeting, with some good messages that talked about repentance and sacrifice.
Okay, homework. I want you guys to send some shirts for my companion. He is from Ecuador and had to sacrifice a lot to be able to come out here and he was not able to get all the stuff he needed. His neck is 14 and a half, chest is 34-36. And if you can, a broaderweave material that breathes, 3 shirts should be a good amount. His name is Elder Muñoz.
Other homework, I want you guys to send me the lists of Scripture Mastery for the standard works if you can, just a list of the scritures, so Dad, or Tori or Manda if you want, hook me up.
Today we find out changes, but I'm staying for sure cause im training my companion, but yeah. Have fun, behave, and may God bless you.

Week of April 8th
Tuesday was boring, and nothing really happened. We worked and I made some more chili for lunch.
Wednesday was a pretty good day. I said last week that my comp and I are starting to work in a different part of our area, and Wednesday we went over there again. We found two families that are cool and should be able to progress. One of the families readily accepted the Book of Mormon and are excited to read it. Then we went to ward night and we sat and talked with a drunk guy for 2 hours. Fun stuff.
Thursday. Again was pretty normal. We had an amazing lunch appointment Thursday. Then we proceeded to work, but not much happened. We found a couple of new people to teach but none of them are really amazing.
Friday, we did our weekly planning, and then worked. Something cool happened. We went to go visit a family, but they weren't there, so we started walking away some guy came up to us and asked who we were. We said that we were missionaries, and he the asked if we were American and knew English. I replied yes and we started talking in English. Apparently, he is an evangelist missionary from New Mexico. So we ended up Bible bashing for a bit, but we started walking with him and talked tranquilamente (calmly). It was really weird, he wanted a Book of Mormon, but we had already given all of the ones we had away. Hopefully we will find him again. It was really weird.
Saturday, we were in the newer part again and found some more families to teach. Cool stuff.
Yesterday, nothing really happened, we went to church and studied and worked a bit.
This week I was studying a lot about the importance that my mission has in my life and everything that goes with it, and it was good stuff, and I now find myself more animated to work hard and be an example for other missionaries.
No I have not gotten the packages yet, but they should get here soon.
Congrats on the calling as temple workers, hopefully you will have fun with that.
Tambien congrats to Amanda and Nate, hopefully everything goes well with the sealing.
