Week 28: If I Lose My Phone Again I Swear...

Won't take too long today. 

Life is wonderful. Our ward is thriving with a finally consistent Noche de Barrio and I have loved getting to serve as a District Leader.

Friday we had a conference with Elder Costa of the Seventy, and during it President Calderwood taught about pilots that divebombed in world war 2, and how like them, we as missionaries always have to be focused on our divine mission.

I loved the scripture Elder Costa would go on to share in Doctrine and Covenants 88:67 "And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light" When our focus is on Christ, then we will shine, brilliar! 

Sunday we had 7 friends in church and honestly was the most spirtual and wonderful sacrament meeting I have had on my mission.

Otherness:
- Moved out the Hermanas 
- Lost my Phone and Keys and by a Miracle got them back
- W Ward Night
- First Consejo de Distrito
- Matching Suns Ties
- Consejo de Lideres with the zone and the mission
- Lost in a chess game to Stringam

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...
