Week 35: Trunky Hermanas And Priesthood Power

You would think after 8 months as a missionary I would figure out how to be a good consistent email writer. 

Guess not because last week I just totally forgot. 

To start, we had quite a traumatic turn of events when we found out that Hermana Tejedor had to leave for health concerns to finish her mission in Panama. As soon as we found out, we went and bought an emergency Acai

She found out on Monday and then left the next day. 

It really made appreciate this delicate precious time that I have served as a missionary. Because for this Hermana, a real friend of mine, after two transfers sharing an area, just left. Just like that.

Milena, our brazillian friend, got baptized by her husband! The Wendesday before her baptism we had a poweful lesson and invited her to act in faith after 5 years with the missionaries and to be baptized. Her husband, a returned missionary baptized and confirmed her. Not gonna like it made the two Hermanas in our ward Trunky

This week I had two powerful expriences with the Priesthood Power.

 First, we had a dear faithful woman, in the Relief Society Presidency, music director who had to split up from her husband. We went to her house and gave her a blessing. My companion did the actual blessing but I could feel the power entering into this faithful woman's home and life. 

Second, I had the chance to give a blessing of healing to Heribierto. He has suffered from sickness and health concerns and he doubted whether or not to go to the temple. We gave him a priesthood blessing to help him get to the temple and it was again powerful. 

I can testify that the Lord's Priesthood Power is once again on the earth. It is the same power that divided the red seas, and lifted Lazurus from the dead. It can and will work miracles in the lives of those of faith!! 

For all of you Priesthood holders... I invite you to read President Eyring's address, Be Ready.


Be ready for when the Lord calls.

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...
