1 Feb. 2010: Piribebuy Week #4

Dear Family and Friends

I had another good week. It wasnt the best but it was alright. Our baptisms both didnt go through. We were going to have the baptisms of both blanca and David but ran into problems with both. First off with David, We went to his house sunday morning to get him and his grandma wouldnt let him go because he was being dis obediant. His grandma is blind and crazy. She isnt a member because she is old adn doesnt understand anything. But David has an Aunt that is a member, Rufina, but the thing is with David is he is a twelve year old that is suppose to sit by his grandma so she has help because there is no one else. He also works. So his Grandma thinks he is the Worlds worst kid. So David was crying because he wants to be baptised. So he wasnt able to come. Blanc Came but when we started her meeting  her Dad flipped and started saying all this stuff about how we didnt ask him and how she didnt know anyhting and all this stuff that wasnt true. I dont know why but he is a drunk that basically comes to church for food. So after a min. Blanca was crying and left we went and talked with her to make sure what she wanted. she still wanted to be baptised. At this point we had taken photos and everything. She still wanted to be baptised but we started to get in the water and she wouldnt get in the font. So we talked to her and she decided she would get in the water if we went to the river. so everyone loaded up and went to the river. She got in but would go in far enough  the water wasnt to her knees and she decided that she was ready. there was less that a foot of water. So we tried because we couldnt get her to go any deeper but there just wasnt enough water. So after this we had been working for over an hour with her because literally she has a phobia of the water. So neither of the baptisms happened. It was  a bit disopointing but it happens.- The Rest of the week was Great I think we Found some really good new Investigators but I will let you know what Happens.-

We had problems with power today so I dont have any time so this is the only letter I can send but know that I Love you all and that I am doing Good. It is nice to hear from you all.

Mom

Good morning Brothers and Sisters, What a wonderful opportunity it is for me to stand in front of you all and report my mission experience. I had an amazing mission, some say I didn't change that much which may be true in some aspects, however, I grew and strengthened my testimony and knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now more than ever I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and that the Book of Mormon really is the word of God. I don't think I could have asked for a better mission. I love my mission. For those who don't know or don't remember I served in the Paraguay Asuncion North Mission. I am so blessed to have served there. I know that I was foreordained by our loving Heavenly Father to serve my Paraguayan brothers and sisters. I love them very much.  So that you have a better understanding of what it is like in Paraguay, a little information about the church is important; there are two missions, about 400 full-time missionaries ...

29 Mar. 2010: Piribebuy Week #12

Dear Family and Friends   I am doing great and had another good week we had alot happen but didnt have a baptism. We have changes on wendsday so that is crazy every change just goes faster and faster. I really like piribebuy so I dont know what to want or expect in the change. We had a wonderful experiance at the temple on tuesday The temple here is small but it is beautiful I had to buy my clothes because they dont have any to rent so i have every thing now. But I loved being in the temple and it was a great session in spansh. It was a good experiance.   As for the work we have been focusing in the City and not in the towns becauase that is what president wants. so the work is alittle harder. it is just alot harder to talk to the people in the city. We have been working alot in the town Itaguyra too because that is where all of the baptisms have been and the people are just amazing I love them and will miss them when I go.   We went there sunday after church to work...

19 Sept. 2011: Luque Week #6

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...
