27 Dec. 2010: Mariano Roca Lonzo Week #10

Dear Family and Friends
 
The phone call was great it was so much fun to talk to everyone and hear your voices and see how you are all doiing Thanks for that! I honestly felt so good afterward, (just flet like working harder) You are all great examples to me. I was fun to hear about those who have and are getting married too(blows my mind to think of marraige) thank goodness I dont Have to for a while.haha.-
 
This week was good it is kind of a tough week for teaching about Jesus though believe it or not because here Christmas mostly means Parties, Fireworks, beer and Loud music. So nothing like at home. Its just hard to find people that dont drink.
 
Other than that every thing is going well we are have a few challanges with some members that are starting to tip the can again and investigator that wont give it up...but just keep praying. We do have a lot of good investigators and I think after the new year it we get even better.,
 
My companion and I are doing great Like I was telling you I have had great comps my whole mission sometimes it has taken a little longer to realize how much I like some of them but as time goes I learn the things I learned from each one, Infact Elder Lee went home today.
 
You will have to remind me what you each got for Christmas especially Hannah and Evan because I didnt even remember to ask you.
 
The heat is impressive today we were in Asuncion at a ChineseRestaurant that is actually in James mission but is was a fun Zone activity. Any way it was 104 degrees standing on the street. I sweat so much. Our house is another story it is litterally an oven I usually take cold showers with my garments on. then try to sleep infront of the fan. Rather tha wetting the bed I usually sweat the bed.
 
I think we will be another week before we see a baptism. I did get news though that a family that I found with Elder Conder two weeks before I left Pedro Juan got baptised yesterday which made me feel good That all the contacts we did were for a reason. Sometimes as individuals we dont see the blessing that we recieve in the momment but the work is true and Heavenly Father always blesses us. I am so greatful to be here in paraguay serving these people!
 
Take Care and have a Happy New Year. Ilove 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...

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...

16 May 2011: Salado Week #7

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...
