Week of the 4th

So the week was fun, and you guys already know a little bit about what happened. I was in Asunción on Monday for a zone leader training, and on Tuesday, I stayed with one of the asisstants to do an exchange, because I'm important like that. The exchange was super great and I was actually able to see one of my converts from a year ago. She is still going strong which made me happy, kinda like Alma when he saw the sons of Mosiah after such a long time.

Tuesday night I traveled solo, which is always fun, but this time it was fine cause I didn't have to deal with luggage. And the alone time is nice. But I took an overnight bus so I just slept anyway. And I woke up just after my stop, so I had to walk a little, but nothing too bad. I walk all day anyway.

Wednesday was boring doing some administrative things again, but getting several visits in the late afternoon. And the rest of the days were all kind of the same. We are teaching a really sweet family, the dad is an inactive from the time he was 10 or so, so he does not remember much, but is really humble and understands that he does not know much and needs to learn. His wife is super kind, but a little shy, and he has two kids, a girl that is 11 and a boy that is 8. Hopefully we will see some progress there, but there work situation causes difficulties for them to go to church.

My comp Elder Nielson ends this week and will be flying back to sweet old Utah, so keep your eyes out for him, and I will be receiving a new comp. always fun.

Today we went on a really fun adventure. We went looking for some waterfalls. And we found some. To get out there we had to take a bus, which goes through a little bit of Brasil then goes back into Paraguay. So I have now been in Brasil, even though I had gone on the way here in the airport. Anyway, we hiked around, and went trailblazing near a creek river thing, and we found a water fall. It was fun. I will send some pics, but I took a lot and won't have time to send them all. But that was basically my week.

I hope you guys have a good one,

Elder Treviño
