Frozen

Hey guys hey!! Hope you all had a wonderful week :) Mine was interesting, so fun fact about  Paraguay, while on one hand it has the ability to get really hot, it also can do the opposite. This was kinda chilly, and hey the eggs in our fridge agree with me, cause they were frozen solid :) it was kinda funny when we tried to make breakfast and the eggs did not want to work with us :) Also during studies I was rocking my PJs under my skirt, good times:) Okay, other stuff we had an investigator go to church, she is really cool, but still needs to get married in order to be baptized which is always fun :) I got to eat a sauce thingy from Peru, really yummy, en cerio , it was wonderful :) other stuff, we found a dog that was digging this hole and he would then proceed to put his head in this hole and just sit there, it was super funny, or at least I thought that is was funny :) Other stuff, hey Easter went really well, but here it was more Semana Santa, wherein everyone just eats Chipa ( wonderful cheese bread stuffs :)  ) and drink milk, also fun tradition, on Sunday they like to spank people and yell Pascua! which is Easter in Spanish... luckily no one did that to us :) I am really close to finishing the book of Mormon and , just wow, I love that book, it is so beautiful and really something can be learned every time that you read, it is truly inspired of God and I know that it is true, please take the time to read it, it will change your life, I have seen it happen and experienced it in my own life. The Book of Mormon is the key stone of our religion and I know that is true, with all of my heart. I know that I have been called of God to share the message of that book to the people of Paraguay, no matter where you are from, or how old, or what has happened in your life, The Book of Mormon, can and will change your life if you let it!

Love you guys!!!! Have a great week, I hope you are all ready for conference!! I sure am!!
Love,

Anyhow this week has been cool, and different! But hey first I got my Name tags in Guarani... I know it is the coolest thing ever!!!!!!!!! They are freaking amazing and I am super excited to use them!! 


Also the other picture, is of that bug that we sometimes eat in our food, fun stuff right!!! :)

 the last one is a picture of our zone trying to take a picture, as you can see it did not work out, and we call ourselves a zone :) 

Ok this week I was down for a day because I was, the truth not really sure what happened, but my stomach decided to kill me, and so that is never fun, that was on Tuesday and then the rest of the week and pretty tranquilo. We had divisions, and I headed to Salado, which was a good change of pace, it is a cool area!! But Bella Vista is as crazy as ever, fun and stressful, but I am excited to be here still. Keep up the prayers, please! Other stuff, I hope you are all ready for conference, and Easter!!!!!!!

 I am so excited, because I love them both!!! Hope you all have a wonderful week, love you guys!!!

DOUBLE RAINBOW

Hey guys, 
I am sorry, but I do not have a lot of time! But cool things that have happened, and not so cool too. We saw a rainbow cloud, you may think it is impossible, but we saw one. Yesterday. It was crazy because really it was not a rainbow, the shape of one, but it was a rainbow inside of a cloud, that was only on one side of the sky, and it grew and moved from cloud to cloud, I am not sure what the heck it was but it was really cool, 





Other things, I did not have changes so I will be staying in Bella Vista for another 6 weeks, with Hermana Cornejo, I am excited she is cool, and I need to visit Peru not sure when it will happen but I am looking forward to that day! Other stuff that investigator, has run into a problem, marriage, please darling family always just get married, do not just live with someone! 


Other stuff, Walking home in the dark I ran into a tree, more like I kicked a tree branch and now my ankle is very mad at me :) It was an accident I could not see where I was walking. 


Other stuff: I love the Restoration;it is beautiful and the first vision has such power!!!!!!! 


Third Nephi is an amazing book, really go back and read it, mind blown, Jesus did not just visit the Americas he also went to other parts of the world to establish his Church, it just clicked this week! 

Other stuff, God loves you, and so do I!

Have a great week!

Weed-wackers Ruin Lessons

Hey guys,
I am doing well, and this week was pretty good. The work is progressing, and it is beautiful to see! Ok, this will not jinx it...hopefully, but we have an investigator who is amazing! Last week we had stake Conference, and pretty much the theme was keeping the Sabbath Day holy, so Juan, after hearing about the importance of keeping that day- before he had plans to head to the store after the conference, but instead he went home, and while on Sundays he usually goes out drinking with his friends he decided to stay home....it was amazing!!!!!!!!! That is what we lack, actually applying the things our leaders teach us, if everyone did this just imagine where the church would be! We were so proud of Juan, he is progressing so well- later on in the week we had another lessons with him, and someone wanted to weedwack...during the whole lesson, right next to where we were..... it was awful, and kinda funny, but really awful' everytime the man wouldstop weedwacking we would talk really fast to cover improtant points before he would start again. It was interesting! , also I would be putting in smiley faces, but I can not figure out this computer...sooooo lol Smiley Face
Anyhow, also this week we had a conference transmission thing with Elder Bednar, he is the best!!!! I finished Alma again, but this time my hero is Parhoran, check it out! Empanadas, are really delicious, and Mbyurcya, it is a fruit... wonderful   Hey guys,keep up the prayers, please! Love you guys tons, have a wonderful week!!!!
Love ya,
