Week 27: New Year, 6 Months, DL

On January 1st I hit 6 months. 

It was a bit surreal this week celebrating the New Year as well as my 6 month missionary mark on the same day. To celebrate the new year me and my comp didnt do anything extraordinary, but we woke up at 11:55 and got treated to quite the show from our balcony. Seeing fireworks from Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay all at the same time! 

Wednesday, we had an awesome experience finding our new friend Carolina and her (soon to be husband) Michel. Prayers were answered. Miracles seen.

Friday, I got a call from the AP and was told that I would now serve as District Leader thanks to some emergency transfers that had the whole mission shifting. Soooo that was news for me

All in all, miracles are real. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

 "Come unto Christ and be Perfected in Him!" 


Fire Bendar Talk!

Randomness: 
- I was basically black mailed into paying 30.000 mil to a bolt driver to get my phone I left in his car back. 
- We bought hammocks and slung them up at the church for p-day
-  I lost a game of bingo to a six year old
- The wife of the second counseler got married intially just to get out of being a monk in a monestary.
- We contacted a random house and found the crazy lady from our ward!

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...
