Justin Call's Mission to Paraguay

 

Dear Family and Friends,  I cant believe this is the last letter I will be writing, this week has been great I have had a wonderful end of my mission I and have learned so much. This last change has been great for me, and I really felt that the Lord sent me here to amparo with elder Roeller for a reason and know that the Lord knows me personally and knows what I need, I also feel that I was sent to Amparo and that I am leaving it better than it was when I got here, I also know that God blessed me with the opportunity to return and visit my converts from Aregua, Last night I got to go visit Osvaldo and Adela and also a family that me and E Eliason started teaching that were baptised shortly after I left. They are really an awsome family too that have great testimonies. It was so much fun to see them all there again after so much time. I was able to leave them with my testimony of the chuch and of the happiness that  comes from keeping the comandments. I was greatful for that op...

Dear Family and Friends,  I had another great week, we found some good new investigators and brought five of them inchurch,  I feel that the branch is getting better now, we had those first few weeks I was here that were full of so many problems, but I feel that they have strengthened me and the other members of the branch. The attendance is rising weekly. It has been tough for me to come here to amparo and leave all of the people from saldo and the success there but I know that the Lord sent me to Amparo for a reason. I learn alot from elder Roeller hes a good missionary and always positive and animating. I am greatful to finish my mission with him. We had some special changes in our zone and since Wendsday I have been with elder Roeller and Elder Patterson. Elder Patterson is from Canada and is Elder Humphreys` best friend from back at home, its cool because we are great friends.  I am not sure we sill have a baptism before I go, because the girl that was close, needs m...

Dear Family and Friends,   It is great to hear from you all again today I cant believe I have just two more Pdays, it is going by so fast. I love being a missionary. We have so many wonderful opportunities to learn and to grow. I have learned alot, today we took a bus into Asuncion to go to the doctors office because my comp. has had a few problems in his chest on the bus we where just laughing and talking about how our mothers would react in the situation being on one of these buses. It was pretty fun to think about, it brought back memories of my first weeks here, the shock mode of being so close to so many unknown people in a vehicle driving wayto fast through ridiculus traffic. I have really come to love there culture and way of life.    In our Branch we are doing alright there are still alot of problems but they seem to be alright this week there werent any break downs so that is good, we afound tw...

Dear Family and friends,  Thanks again for your great letters, I love reading your letters, they usually help me remember how great my family is. I this week had some of the most spiritual and most challanging moments of my mission. It has been  a great week. The highlight would be our zone conferance on Wednesday, it was my last one, my best one and one I wont forget. President Arnold from the 70 was there. He is one of the most amazing examples I have ever met. I had about 6 hours of conferance and training, and a 10 min personal interview.. The spirit present was so special. In one of the moments between sessions he pulled me off to the side and told me several things with tears in his eyes about how the Lord feels about me.  I stood in shock abit that the Lord would think so great of me, he mentioned that sometimes i am just to hard on myself but have no reason to feel like so much lower than most people- It was a moment I will never forget he didnt know I would later...

Dear Family and Friends, Well it is sure nice to hear from you all again this  week I bet it is wierd to have just two kids at home. We had a great week we really did, we had some experiances that just reminded me how blessed I am and how perfect the plan of the Lord is. First of everything went great with the baptism we were really pleased with the support of the members at the service and angelicas dad was too. They are a really neat family one of those families that who know why they went in active because they know alot about the church and have great testimonies we need a ward mission leader and are hoping that he will get the call.  Secondly we had a really cool experiance with a contact. We decided to contact this random house and started talking to a lady. we introduced ourselves and asked if she had ever talked to missionaries before. And she responded  yes I have just once in Mariano roque alonso, And asked me if I knew Carlos Bernal I was like ya I ws teaching ...
