Week 32: The Devil's Got My Bike!!

Haupei. 

Another wild week. 

- Earlier this week, I got the chance to teach a family of Athesits. There questions where profound and when we got there we started a deep doctrinal discussion which got cut short cause we had another lesson to go to. But, they are accpeting the lessons and next time we go by we are planning to blow their minds with the Plan of Salvation.

- I also got to teach the gospel in English for the first time in my life. We are teaching this man named Gustavo who teaches English for a living, and his son, Givoanni litterally was born in New Jersey and speaks better English then Spanish. So, we taught a lesson about Baptism and the Book of Mormon in English. And he said he'd come to church!

- Then, on Friday Morning, we went out with an ex-missionary from our mission, who served here 5 years ago. We were walking along when this guy stopped his bike trailer thing, and told me I had a weapon on me. Dumbfounded, I sorta just stared at him. Then he pointed at the Book of Mormon I had in my hand, and told me that was a weapon. He got off his bike and we began to teach him when his bike started rolling away jaja. "The devil's got my bike!" he cried and my comp and I ran after his bike which was rolling down the hill and stopped it. It was hilarious. 

- Finally, we had the baptism of Cristian yesterday. It was a sweet experience and he is going to get the Priesthood next week it sounds like and the whole family is preparing to go to the temple!!

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...
