Es La Pelota!

With that I have been a missionary for 2 months! WACKK. In some ways it feel´s like I just started yesterday, in others like I have lived here my whole life. 


First, we walked alot this week! We have one friend who lives like way out in the middle of nowhere on top of a hill, and a couple of nights we were walking for an hour, hour an a half just to get to her house. Her name is Jazmin and she has been getting taught by the missionaries for a year and a half now. The only thing stopping her from getting baptized is she is living with someone she is not married too. The miracle was we decided we would all fast together so she could recieve an answer and after a fast all day Saturday into Sunday, we got a text from her saying she got an answer, is going to break up with her boyfriend and probably be baptized as a result! Her daughter, Alejandra is also so precious! We were at their house sunday night and we just kept throwing a tennis ball to her and everytime she would say ¨es la pelota!!¨ she had an infectious energy that only a 5 year old can have haha!!

The kids here and I get along so amazing! Monday night I was out shooting a basketball around and 3 paraguan boys 12-13 years old came and we just shot around and ended up playing a 2 on 2 haha! So fun haha and there my new pday buddies! I told them every Pday we would be back!

Second, I had my first Zone Conference this week! IT was freakin fire! I got to see some buddies from the MTC (freakin stick with it E´ Linton and Roberts!) and just had an awesome day of lessons and discussions all about the Spirit! 

Third, I had my first set of divisions (splits) with my zone leader since my comp is a district leader. His name was Elder Flete and we went to his area in Icupacar´e Friday Morning till Saturday afternoon. The splits were FANTASTIC!! Me and E´ Flete are kindred spirits!!! And I learned a ton of Spanish!! 

My epiphany from this week is from 2nd Nephi 4 go and read it cause it had a profound impact on me this week. It talks alot about how we need to rejoice despite and even in the face of our afflictions, and to always remember in whom we have trusted. Go and read it! It had a profound impact on my perspective on the trials and affilictions every mission presents to remember, be greatful and rejoice in the work!! 

Love you all, feel absolutely free to email ahha anytime I love reading them.

Haupei!! Wow what a couple of Days it has been, since I wrote home just this Wednesday I will do my best to keep this email short but my oh my have things been moving since then. We left Thursday Night at 9pm for Paraguay. It was´nt an awful flight since I had an open middle seat next to me and I was a window.. so I sprawled out and got some sleep.  We landed in the Morning in Paraguay and were meeted by President and the Secretary of the Mission. They made sure everything went smoothly getting into the country and we were driving and at the Mission office by 9a Friday. We all took naps at some bedrooms they had upstairs at the Mission Office and then we came down at 11:30 ish for our orientation. We also got to meet our comps for the first time and holy cow is Elder Webb (or Pa Teo as I call him (since he is my father/trainer out her on the mish)) is an absolute legend even after only living with him for two days I have grown to love and appreciate the man. He really has this genu...

Well You Guys Are In Trouble...

What a final week it has been! We were planning on leaving Tuesday but thanks to a late transfer or a plane thing or whatever we got on final P-Day at the CCM. This week has been all out Spanish and Doctrinal sprint. The spirit has been strong and our district is so unfied. It will be really hard and already has been hard to say goodbye to Elder Vainoka, who left at 3 am Tuesday Morning. It was awesome because we all woke up for him and did the Hakka he taught us as a goodbye. It was a special moment.. 3 am 5 americans, a south afircan and a tongan just casually doing the Hakka at 3 in the morning! (Someone videoed it and I put it in the Google Photos)  Bishop Caussé the Presiding Bishop of the Church came thus week!! He did a devotional with us on Monday afternoon. It was an absolutely fire devotional and the atmosphere of the small packed room, with somewhere between 50 to100 missonaries and mission leaders, was so powerful. His message was about tasting the fruit and accessing t...

Haupei Yall's! It's weird were already talking transfers this next week!  Not much to much to report this week but heres a few snidbits: --> Tranfers are next week!! I will stay in Piribebuy, but there are alot of rumors going around that Elder Webb my comp is going to be a ZL so stay tuned this next couple of weeks cause things could be changing! --> My comp got really sick Monday Night from drinking the water. Basically, the water here can give you parasites and tapeworm and all that nasty stuff so we were at the Pension all day Tuesday and Wednesday. Which was awesome for me to do somethings I have not gotten to do since I got here and I gotta study ALOT, even watched President Nelsons Birthday Celebration thingy which I thought was an awesome change of pace!! --> Sunday was amazing! I got to bless the Sacrament and President Calderwood came to the ward to reorganize the branch presidency. He said to watch out because either me and my comp will probably get called a...
