Sup everyone! Had a crazy week this week. First, we had the baptism of Canchichi, or Emanuel. He's the grandson of our branch president, and he's super excited. His parents are also very interested and might accept a date very soon. The baptism went really well. However, when we went in the morning to fill up the font, it turned out that a rat had died in the tank, and the water made the church stink. So, we cleaned up and called the firefighters to come and fill it. We waited and waited, but they didn't come. It turns out that there's no water in PJC, so they couldn't come. We changed the location to a different church, and it got delayed by several hours. The baptism ended up starting at around 8:30, but it was all good. Another cool experience: I went on an exchange with one of the DLs of our zone. They had a friend who was supposed to get baptized the next day, but due to some problems, he didn't feel ready for baptism, so they canceled it. However, during t...

What's up, everyone? Another great week down here in Paraguay. We had zone conference this week, which was awesome. It was super spiritual, and I learned a lot. We got to train about teaching the doctrine of baptism in every lesson. It was amazing. Literally the next day, the zone put like 5 people on a date. Amazing. We also had exchanges with the APs, and I was with Elder Inastroza. He was my DL when I got here and is going to end next week. I learned so much from him. Also, got to have interviews with the president, and that was awesome. We have transfers next week, and we'll see what happens. I already have 4 transfers here. We were teaching some people yesterday when people started yelling in the house in front. It turns out that some lady attacked her husband with a glass beer bottle, and the guy almost died. The ambulance came and got stuck, and the whole neighborhood came, and it was just nuts. We couldn't leave because the crowd was so big. So yeah, that was my cra...

What's up everyone!! I hope you are all doing super well. This week was pretty normal We had a meeting the the zone andthe far áreas came and stayed with us for a night. Super super fun. But the meeting was great. We talked about DyC 121 and it was amazing. We talked about strengthening the church by working with members. We are super super close to being a stake here. It can happen as soon as November 12th. It's absolutely crazy. Sadly Satan is working super hard here it's actually crazy. But he won't win I also had 2 exchanges this week. They were both awesome. In one we taught a preacher in his own church and he seems pretty interested. Good stuff. So the work is going alright. We were supposed to have a baptism today, but the guy moved away and won't answer us... hendy. We're teaching a family that's good but they just are having trouble making the decision to be baptized. We prayed about it with them and the 9 year old daughter did it. The spirit was so...

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well. This week was very busy; it feels like yesterday was the last P-day. Time is just flying by. We had another leadership council, and it was super fun. I got to see lots of friends from the mission and catch up with people. It was awesome to feel the spirit and participate. We almost missed the bus; we arrived right as the bus was leaving and had to run to catch it. When we got home, we had exchanges, and I went to another area. Everything fell through, but we found a guy on the street who was meeting with the missionaries but had to stop because of COVID. He'll definitely be getting baptized soon. The work is going great here. One couple who had a date abandoned their house and left, and we don't know where they went... bummer. Our friend Mauricio is going to get baptized in a week, so I'm really excited for that. We have a family of five that has already come to church three times; there are just a few doubts, but they will ge...
