10 Jan. 2011: Mariano Roca Lonzo Week #12

Dear Family and Friends,
 
    Thanks for the letters this week. We had a good week and are doing well. The week passed by super fast we didnt end up having Diego´s baptism this week but it is set for this Saturday, he has progressed alot in the last two weeks. It has been super hot lately and will be through April so its just starting. I honestly believe Heavenly Father blesses and strengthens us to be able to work in the heat if I wasnt a missionary I dont know if I could do it.. As for my companion he is doing well,he is from Calgary, we watched the funeral together with President and sister Madariaga, it was a nice contribution to her life and was a really nice service, I learned alot about my companion and his family. He has a really neat family. It seems that they are all doing well for the circumstances however it is really dificult.
   As for us and the work we are back to normal basically Elder humphreys is a hard worker so we dont waste time even when President gave us permision to take the dayoff. We are working hard and finding people to teach. We are excited about the baptism this week he is super ready!!! at church the young women made  change boxes for the youngmen to start collectiing money for their missions. Diego hasnt decided yet if he wants to servebut he turns 18 in February. so he the perfect age. 
    We had a neat experiance on sunday where we were contacting and i felt like we should talk to a lady that was just sitting in her yard when we said hi she invited us in we sat down and started talking she said that she was in a bad situation and was praying for help from god. Anyway to make alongstory short her nephew murdered his wife and left 6 kids all under 8 she cant take care of the because her husband is sick and cant work so she is going to give them up to adoption, any way we found out she was a member of the church and wants to come back once everything gets worked out, she appreciated our visit and prayer. We are guided by the spirit I know that the Church is true, conversion is a process the book of Mormon is true that through it we can feel the spirit and learn whatwe need to do. I love you all

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...

Last week we made Little sheets that have a scripture and a little note from us that is for references. We havent really recieved one yet but several of the members have invited and are planning for a time that we can go with them to visit.

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...
