New Companion and District Conference

Hey everyone!!

Ok, so much has happened and I do not have much time left to write this email. This past week has been bonkers, and crazy, and hilarious, and wonderful, but mostly nuts! We for to ear fish - entire fish: eyes and everything. It was not as gross as you would think it would be but the bones were weird as they were really crunchy. Also had Mondungo again but this time it really was just straight stomach!!!! YEAH!!! It was definitely different- but hey, food is food.

Mondungo?


Hermanas at District conference




We had changes and (drum roll please)..... I am still in Santani!!! My new companion is Hermana Mendoza and she is from Luqué, Paraguay. She is amazing and knows Guanrani - which is super cool!!! This also means it has been Spanish all the time, which is crazy considering I did not know any Español before my mission, but I can communicate fairly well.

Blackberries






These last couple of days we have had some really fun times. We also ate blackberries, which stained out fingers for a good two days, but totally worth it!!! Yesterday we got to go to the district conference in Concepcion, which was a five hour bus ride!!! Whoop, good times. It was a really good conference, rained a ton, so there was a ton of mud. BUt it was nice to visit with some of the missionaries in our district. The elders that are left in Santani are the best. Santani C was closed so now it is only us two hermanas with these two elders and it has been a blast!! It is crazy that I have already been in Santani for 3 months... super weird. Time is flying!!! But I love this area. It will be weird to go somewhere new.

Anyhow, things here are going really well. I love everything!!! Thanks for all the prayers and support. While it is amazing it is definitely work and all your love is greatly needed. THANKS A TON!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!!!

Love, 


Hermana Douglas
