And the Rains Came Down...

Ok,  funny story, the place where we do our emailing, it a lovely place and when it rains it is really hard to keep the internet up, also the roof has a ton of holes, so there is a puddle of water slowly making its way to the wires that are on the ground, the worker, keeps checking for the water to get close, it is awesome, and only decided to rain , rain today- we have had a pretty heavy down pour....I love it!!!! This past week was quite wonderful, with today being the exception we had a really hot humid week.. which was fun, but really hard, the sun is really strong here- my companion likes to say, that while the sun shines everywhere it really likes to give Paraguay hugs, and that why it is so hot here. She is amazing, this change has been wonderful, even thought the area is really hard, we are really trying to make the best of what we have. But things that happened this week, well last week, we bought jerseys for Santani , they are really cool, I was stoked because it was my first!!! Yea! Anyhow we had zone conference this week, and while we usually have it in Santani, this time we went to Santa Rosa, which is a 2.5 hour bus ride, and once we got there, while the conference was wonderful we all had a pretty hard time paying attention, because the church in Santa Rosa is a rented space that does not have AC.... and yes it was rather interesting, but zone conferences are the best I really do love being the only Hermanas in our zone, it is really cool :) Other stuff that happened , we moved our dinner table in our room yesterday to eat lunch, cause that room has AC, that was fun :) Today was the birthday of our district leader and we did some stuff for his birthday, which included playing soccer in the rain...and I forgot my tennis shoes at the house, so I played in socks..yes mom I know, not the best Ideas,but it was a ton of fun. Looking forward to this week, this is the last full week in the change, and next Monday is the last p-day in the change, who knows what will happen? But I am excited, not for changes, because my companion is the bomb, but it will be good! A scripture that I love d this week, Romans 8: 31 (last part), 35, 37-39 have a great week!!! 
Love, 
Hermana Douglas
