25 Oct. 2010: Mariano Roca Lonzo Week #1

Dear Family and Friends
 
Thanks for you wonderful letters of love and support, I am doing well and am having lots of learning experiances! I have about decided that if you ever get comfortable in the mission wether it be a comp or an area, normally things will change!
 
As for new things almost everything is new, new comp, area, investigators, zone members and basically everything else. I was called to come to a area right next to asuncion called Mariano Roca Lonzo, to be with Elder Orton from Salt lake (and until Wendsday with Elder Garcia my old comp because he goes home on wendsday. It is fun to be with him again and remember and talk of the experiances we had together 9months back. As for my new comp he has about 4monthsin paraguay, is areally fun comp and speaks spanish very well for the time he has. I was also Called to be District leader so in my district I have two hermanas one from colombia and the other from the states but I dont know where yet. I still feel like i just barely got to paraguay but I am sure the Lord will help me and bless me.
 
We had three investigators in church that two of which are looking really good for baptism I dont know the people too well yet but we live right by the Rio Paraguay so it is way cool but also mead heat and humidity there are groups of other indians that live in our area that dont even speak guarani so I have to start learning other words in some other old indian language but I dont know any thing yet. I am sure you will here more about them but here is a picture of me and elder orton on a water tank close to our house.
 
It was sad to leave Pedro Juan and expesially the people there I will miss them I am greatful for the oportunitty the Lord gave me to serve there and hope I can always do His will.
 
                        With lots of 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 has the biggest heart and is just great She broke her arm a coulple months ago so we started visiting her to help her out she also has a 8 year old grandson that is planning on getting baptised here before to long. 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...
