3 Baptisms

What's up everyone? This email is for last week because I forgot to write last week.


It's been a great time. We had transfers, but I stayed here with the same companion. It's my 4th transfer here, and I'll have 2 more after this one. It's absolutely wild how fast the time goes by. I love this area. I love the people with my whole heart. My experience here has completely changed my life.


Last week, we had the baptism of Mariselda and Basilis. They're the first members in the community where they live, and they're super happy. It was one of the most spiritual baptisms I've had. On Saturday, we had the baptism of Maby. She's awesome. She wants to serve a mission and is reading the Book of Mormon. It was a crazy baptism because there wasn't any more water, but there was just enough that she could kneel down for her baptism so it was fine.


We have lots of friends that are progressing. We're working in 8 different communities, and every single day I'm dead from riding bikes all day long, but it's great. Elder Christiansen is coming this week and I'm hyped.


The other day, a lady asked me to give a blessing to a lady who was very sick. The next day, we heard that she died that night. But when we went by again, she told us that she passed away very peacefully. The only reason I'm mentioning this is because the spirit has testified to me that God is in the very details of our lives. I know that he has a perfect plan for us that we as human beings can't comprehend. I am so very grateful that I can hold the priesthood and bless the lives of others. I know that God loves all of his children and if we listen carefully, he will use us to bless the lives of others.


But yeah, everything is normal. Just grinding as always. I love and miss you all so much. See you next week!

2 Exchanges

Hello everyone! How's it going? I hope you all had a great week this week. I had a really great week. Nothing too crazy or out of the norm, just working like crazy as usual. This week I got to do 2 exchanges which was awesome. I love doing exchanges because I learn so much and I build relationships with other missionaries. 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...
