Muy buenos días a todos! Como estan? I have almost 3 months as a missionary! I literally can't believe it. It doesn't feel real. It literally feels like yesterday I got set apart. This week was definitely a crazy week with transfers but it was so good! My new comp is absolutely sick. He's from Perú and doesn't speak English, but I can understand him so it's ok. He's trying to learn English so we learn from each other. He's from Perú and because of the pandemic, he was reassigned to a mission there and was just recently sent here, his original assignment. So he's brand new to Paraguay and I'm brand new in general so it's been interesting  but super good!     I was really nervous at first because I have to direct the area. But I've been praying my heart out for help, and there have been people put in our way in inexplicable ways. We found a guy in a taxi, a guy at the store, and a little girl who wants to be baptized. So so cool. I'm really...

So I've Officially been in Paraguay for 1 transfer! It went by insanely fast I can't believe it. My companion elder smith is getting transferred. Honestly I'm a little sad, but I know that it's what the Lord wants. My new companion is also new. He's coming from a mission in Perú and is from Ecuador. I don't know why he's coming here. I have to Travel over night to asunción to go pick him up tomorrow. And honestly I'm a little scared because I have to direct the work in my area now and i dont even know it that well and we cover 3 areas. Im sure ill be just fine. Spanish is great! I can understand a lot now and I can talk about just about anything I want. My ability to teach in Spanish has greatly improved these last 6 weeks. Im not even going to have the option to speak english now so thatll be great.  Our investagators are progressing good. We had 5 of them come to church yesterday which was great. We might invite one to be baptised today actually so we...

Sorry, but this ones going to be a long one. This week was probably the craziest week of my life, but I also know its nothing compared to whats to come. So i guess ill get started now. Ok so it all started on Tuesday. All of our plans had fallen through and we were pretty fed up. The day was almost done so we just decided to buy a pizza and go home haha. We were going to try to call some progressing investigadores in our other areas, but we felt like we needed to call a guy that we had found 3 days earlier. We had taught him one lesson and he had little interest. This time we taught about the gospel of Jesus Christ and he had a lot interest. At the end he said "I only have one question. Can I be baptized?" We were absolutely shook. But we put him on date. He lives in Curuguaty where the church practically doesnt exist and we run the meeting every 3 weeks. so the date is for 3 months from now. I could not even be here for it but yeah. Then on Thursday we had exchanges with the...

Haupei todos! Como estan? So this week was pretty slow yet again. That's kind of what happens when you live in the middle of nowhere in Paraguay haha. But it was a super good week and I learned a ton!     So basically it was just a completely normal week. Literally nothing interesting happened so this will be a very boring email haha. But our investigadores are progressing very well and we found a couple of new ones this week which is great. We have a lot of people which we could possibly baptize this month so we'll just have to see. It would be an absolute miracle, but I have faith. This area has really struggled for a while, but were just barely on the edge of having a ton of success. We have some big plans for this week so stay tuned haha. Also the time is absolutely flying by. I already have a month here in Paraguay and it feels like I just got here. My first transfer is almost done and I can't believe it.     We went to Curguaty this week. We don't go there a l...
