1 Aug. 2011: Salado Week #18

Dear FAmily and Friends,
 
I had another great week and it passed by way fast. I really cant believe it is august already. We have continued to see lots of blessings and miracles. This week was full tblessings and challanges. First of the blessing...The youth have gotten supper excited with the receint baptisms and have really taken off. There are several of the members that are really good friends now with Sergio Ever and Juan. One of the Sevastian is 18 also and preparing for a mission He visits them almost every day and has been teaching and inviting the siblings of Sergio and Juan. Sergios brother always goes to the activities but wont share with us or go to church I think he will come around though. Juans family is just golden. Juans brother Junior went to church and is excited for his baptismal date for the 20th. Juans sister started to share with us just a little bit but wasnt able to go this week to church but commited to for the next sunday. Juans mom still hasnt gone to church. Evers Sister Angelica is going to be baptised on Saturday. she is super ready and excited for her baptism. Last night we were talking with Evers mom and Adry and Angelica,they were telling us  of the changes and blessings they have seen since. we first arrived at their house. You wouldnt believe some of the things they shared It strengthen my testimony that the Gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives, blesses families and is for everyone. God loves each of his children. Evers mom wants to be baptised really bad the only thing stopping her is getting married. Evers Dad seems to be opoening up and is planning on going to the baptism of Angelica. I hope he goes it will change every thing becuase there he will feel the spirit testify of the truth and it will spark a desire to change. I have continued to learn so much and feel mytestimony grow everyday. I love you guys. Love Elder CAll

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...

Dear Family and Friends,         Thanks for your letters this week. I am doing good and the week passed by really quickly. It is really starting to cool down a bit here in Paraguay so that is nice. It is crazy that it will basically be cool the rest of my mission. We are really excited for Sergio and Ever. Sergio blessed the Sacrament for the first time yesterday and did great! he was also called or assigned to be like an assitant to  the Secretary of the ward So that wil be good. Ever I am sure will bless the sacrament this week to come it is awesome to see that they are getting so involved and and that they are doing so well. Ever got his sister to come which was a great sign for us his family is opening up a lot they still arent progressing really toward baptism but they will come around, His mom is really catholickind of I guess she knows alot and doest really practice any of it. I am excited to see what happens. The members are helping alot r...
