Rain And Thanksgiving

Hey everyone! Pretty great week this week.


This week I feel super grateful for the blessings I have. Being in an area with super humble people has completely changed my perspective on my life. I don't think I'll be able to complain about anything ever again. I'm so grateful for my savior Jesus Christ, and I'm so grateful to be a part of such a great family with great circumstances.


It was Thanksgiving, and we had a BBQ with our neighbors, and it started pouring. Nobody had more water here, and we're all freaking out; they were about to die, but it rained so much that all the ponds filled up.


But yeah, our house flooded, and we had to run at midnight in a river of water to go sleep in the church. Define a Thanksgiving I'll never forget. The rain has continued until today.


But all the rain didn't slow down the work; we still worked like crazy, and many of our friends came to work surprisingly. We had a family of 5 Paraguayans (or non-indigenous people) that have come twice now. We also put our friend on a date who's been exploring the church for 10 years now and finally decided to be baptized. We should have many baptisms in December.


That's about all that happened. Just a lot of rain. Thanks for your love and support.

We had an exchange with a companionship called Yvy ja'u which means we eat dirt in guarani. I stayed here in pjc but Saturday morning I had to leave at like 4 in the morning to go pick up my companion and then come back. That took like 8 hours in total and I was completely dead the whole day haha. So basically all of our friends that were progressing are now not progressing, and so we had to drop like 15 people at the start of this week. That was kind of discouraging but we kept working and man did the Lord bless us. We contacted a guy in the street and he told us that he had never heard of the missionaries before but his cousin is a member and he had interes...
