Week of the 18 March

Again another week has flown by, and the work keeps moving forward!

The week was just full of work work work, and I got a fever for three days, but worked anyways cause we had too much to do and we couldn't afford to rest too much. Yeah I know not the best idea but it's past. Anyway, we ended the week with another baptism, which was awesome, and we hope that we can augment our work ethic to maintain the success. The Lord is blessing us a lot. I will send photos next week cause I forgot the camera in the house, but don't worry, next week for sure.

I'm getting excited for conference, because its like Christmas to the Elders, and just trying to work all that I can, trying to lead my zone the best I can.

I found a quote that I like, that I will share by Elder Enzio Busche I think; I don't know who he is but I like the quote. "So you want to be good and to do good? That is commendable. But the greatest achievement we can get in this life is to be under complete influence of the Holy Ghost." I like this because as a missionary, the most important thing for us to be a conduit for the Holy Spirit, and nothing else.

Anyway. I told Dad and Tori, but I will be flying home on the 6th of June, arriving on the 7th. Two week ahead of schedule, but really on schedule because of some administrative changes and other things. Anyway, love you guys and have a good week!

Week of March 11

Thanks for the letter mom. I hope you all enjoy St. Patty's day. I did not wear green.

It will be interesting going back to a fully functioning ward again, as here in Paraguay, most of the branches barely breathe. Luckily here though my branch is fairly stable. The work here has been progressing quite a bit as well. The past weekend we had another baptism, and I will send you the photos. And we plan on having baptisms for the next couple of weeks as well. The Lord is really blessing us here, and I'm just trying to do my part to be faithful and obedient, and to help my zone to do the same.

Today we went to the border of Brazil, because there is a ton of shops and stuff, and we ran into 8 Brazilian elders. There were there for pday cause tomorrow they will have a zone conference or something. Oddly enough I understand pretty well Portuguese but my comp does not, so it was kind of funny.

Also, things here keep changing and I might come home a little early, but I'm still not sure. Whatever happens, happens.

Anyway, I hope things keep going well for you guys, it seems like the lord is blessing you all as well.

Have a good week,

Elder Treviño

Week of March 4

so the week was really good. like i told you guys last week, we had a conference on monday in the which Elder Viñas of the seventy was present. good conference. Then the rest of the week was hectic busy and we have so much to do right now and not enough time to do it all. we were late getting home almost everyday this week cause we were teaching as much as we could.

This past weekend, one of our investigators got baptized and confirmed. Also we had seven investigators that went to church, which is not a very common number to have. But we have baptisms planned for every weekend from here to the end of march, which is sweet, so i hope everything goes to plan.

The Lord is blessing us a lot, and i believe that a lot of it is from your guys prayers and the prayers of others. anyway, today we receive the transfers if there are any, but i don't think that i will see anything happen here, as the last time there was a lot of changes. but we will see.

love you guys and have a good week!

Just a note - I am not neglecting this blog. Elder Trevino hasn't emailed me since February 12. Apparently he's still alive, just very busy. Gettin' as much work in as he can in the 3 months he has left in the field!
