11 Oct. 2010: Pedro Juan Caballero Week #16

Dear Family and friends,
 
How are you all doing? It sounds like you are all all pretty busy. The mission is such an awesome experiance I am so excited to here about Davids call.  Does that mission have alot of Wyoming in it?
 
Paraguay is going great, this week it finally stopped raining so we were able to dry out up a bit. It was a good week but full of challenges but in the end it turned out Ok. We met alot of cool people and had alot of little learning experiences. I am getting along well with my companion and we are working hard. Our awesome investigator Rumilda last night told us that she wouldn't be baptised basically because she didn't want to live the Law of chastity but then thanked and told us that she knew the we taught the truth but just said I cant follow... I felt really bad because we want the best for her. We still will go back to try to help her realize the decision she made and what it means.
 
We are going to get to go the the temple on Friday which is going to be great after 6 months going to the temple is better than Christmas! Especially for missionaries. We had our interviews with President Madariaga on Saturday, so he was running around Pedro Juan it was nice to have a few minutes with him to learn and grow.

We also got news that transfers will be a week early so I think on the 22 but the thing is there is more than 20 coming and going so ther will be lots of changes but i think i will stay with Elder conder.
 
Other than that not alot is new so I will let you go but please remember that I love you and that I have a testimony that this is the work of the Lord.
 
                                           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,   I am glad to hear that everything went well with the trip to Lake Powell, it sounds like fun.haha. No I had a great week too, we are working hard and I am really enjoying my time with Elder Che. He is a hard worker and has good views on how to work effectivly. We are working most with the members. 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. I am excited for it because we really need it we need more investigators. Several of the members are just great there is a Sister Medina that is like 70 years old that is one of my favorites.

She is just s...

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...
