Transfers And Miracles

Image
What's good, everyone! Pretty good week here. We had transfers this week. It's been kind of weird, ngl. I had about 4 months with my previous companion, and my new companion is wayyyy different, but it's good. His name is Elder Duryea, and we were in the same MTC district, which is pretty sweet. The work went absolutely wild this week: Our baptismal dates, Junior and Rosana, started having doubts about marriage. They didn't want to talk with us more. But we went by on Saturday and taught them about temples, eternal life, and the Spirit was super strong. They came to church and decided to get married again. Super sick! We found a guy named Mauricio on Saturday who lives with members that are returning to activity. He came to church the next day, told us he read the Book of Mormon, and wants to get baptized. Super, super sick. Last week we found a family of 5 people. They all came to church yesterday. We taught them, and they want to get baptized but are going to pray abo...

What's up, everyone! I had a pretty normal week this week. Junior and Rosanna accepted a baptismal date. After last pday, we went and visited them. They have a really humble home, and we always sit outside when we go. It started to rain right when we got there, and we said we could come back. They said, "No, it's ok, we want to hear NOW," and so we all sat out there in the rain, but the rain wasn't touching us. It was a miraculous moment. One of the best lessons I've ever had was during an exchange with Elder Torres. We taught the Oliveira family about baptism and the sacrament, and it was another super spiritual lesson. They were all crying. We extended another date, and they happily accepted. But they didn't come to church again, so they can't get baptized on their new date. So, we might have to stop teaching them soon if they don't come to church again. But yeah, it was a fantastic week. We worked super hard and found over 20 new people to teach...

HEAT

What's up, everyone! So, not that much happened this week, but it was a good week. The heat is coming back to Paraguay after being super cold for a while. Honestly, I forgot that it gets super hot here. We have Leadership Council this week, which is always super amazing to be there. Then on Friday, we had a council with the whole zone. Good times. After the council, we had exchanges with a companionship that's like 2 hours away from us in a place called Yby Yau, which means we eat dirt in Guarani. I finally got to go there and it was great. But when we left to go to the terminal, I realized that I had taken the keys to the church by accident, so we had to run back to the church and then back to the terminal and then run down the bus which had just left. But luckily we made it. But it was suuuuper hot that day and after that, we were in a packed bus, and I felt like I was going to die. I then worked all day feeling like I was going to pass out. Fun times, haha. This week, everyt...
