Hey guys,
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful week, as most of you know we found out about changes last Tuesday, and ...... drum roll please................
I am still in Palma Loma, but this time with the one and only Hermana Carr!!!!!!!! She is from Provo Utah and is amazing :) We have had a really great couple of days so fasr and I am really happy to be with her :)
So for staters, I am sure all of you are wondering what we have been up too these days,
We found a couple of people smoking at the church and while we cant do anything about it we did take a stand and they had brought in a log so that they could sit and smoke, as a way to defy the man, we headed by the church at 8:30 at night and we took out their log, walked it across the street and threw it over the barbwire fence into a vacant lot.... :) and that is how we got rid of the smoking log, we have found less people at the church doing that now so we are happy.
Something I have learned this week has been the importance of the members :) so we were just walking to an appointment the other day and a lady came up to us, says she is from a different ward, but has been looking to a while now the missionaries that were assigned to our ward, and she gave us a reference, of the lady who house she cleans, named Mirta, she asked us to come over and meet her, so we called set up a time and we went.... she is the best person ever, she is an in-activa that has been wanting to come back, she has two children that are above the age of 8, and she loves when the missionaries pass by, so thanks to the kind member of another ward we found a family that really has potencial. SO hey for all those who listened to conference , help the missionaries out, give a reference, and look for those who surround you for someone who could possible be ready :)
Things have been getting hotter lately, really we are heading into summer..... today not so much it is pretty fresco and looks like rain, but the last couple of days.... hot humid air blowing in your face.... I am really excited for Summer :) what makes it worth it are the Chupa Chup, which are popsicles, really best use of 500 guarnies :) This change is already going swimmingly and I am just really excited :) Everyday is an adventure, I almost walked out of the house without my backpack the other day, and oh almost forgot, a dog almost got to eat my hand :) we headed to a members house o get a reference, cause as we all know references are magical, and while we were there her dog a Germana Shepard was super nice he let me pet him and he was chill, but that all changed when the Fire nation attacked, as we were leaving I reach down to pet his head, and I hear him growl a little so I start pulling my hand back and in that moment he jumps up and bites..... luckily I had already moved my hand and was practically running a way from him, or else this dog would of gotten some real white meat to snack on :) and yeah that was my dog story of the week... kinda scared me :) but I am good
Today we went to clean the temple and It was great :) I love the temple and oh my goodness, the temple of Paraguay is beyond beautiful really it was such a blessing to be able to go and clean today :) I am excited to go there one day to be sealed for time and all eternity, really after looking in the mirrors as we were cleaning who would settle of less than a temple marriage??? But hey I love you guys and hope you all have a great week:) suerte con todo , y cuídense mucho
Hermana Douglas :)
