28 June 2010: Pedro Juan Caballero Week #1

Dear Family and Friends,
 
     Another crazy week passed by and I am still trying to adjust. You wont believe what happened. I was expecting changes on wendsday but not the change that happened. Tuesday morning I got word that I would be leaving Aregua and to pack my bags I couldnt believe I had to leave. I never thought it would be possible because Elder Eliason had already 7.5 months there. Elder Eliason was called to stay and train and I was called almost out of the country. In fact I even left for a minute. I got called to serve Lejos in Pedro Juan Caballero on the Border of Paraguay and Brasil. From my house I can walk to Brasil in less than twenty minutes.
    Pedro Juan is really cool though it is super nice and has alot of cool stuff. The city is big, am in rama 4 and we have three branches in my area. The work is ok out here, we have a lot of work to do but the members of the branch are excited and willing to help us. I couldnt believe I left Aregua. It will be a new challange to see what we can acomplish here. There were only like 35 people in church yesterday and we had just three investigators. I am excited for whats to come.
    My new Comp is Elder Lee from Salt Lake City, infact I think he lives really close to Grandma Jensen. He went to Cottonwood Highschool and goes to Cottonwood 13th ward. He is really obediant to so that is good I dont have to worry about him at all.
    As for Aregua I was Sad to leave. We were doing so well and I loved the people there they were awesome. It will be an awesome first change though for Elder Eliasons Kid. They should have lots of success. We get our new president on the 1st so I dont think I will see President Wade again til after my mission. It will be an interesting change to have a new president.
    Here in Pedro Juan I hear four languages everyday English, Spanish, Portuguis and Guarani. In my area though it is mostly spanish and Guarani.
    I am glad you finaly got the package. It was actually pretty fast. Did you get the envelope with SD card too. Any Way thanks for the Letters. I love you very much!
                                                  Love ElderCall

So ya Dad I got transfered again!!! I couldnt believe it. I was Sad to leave and am still am having the questions of why me? I just talked to Elder Eliason and him and his kid took 12 of our investigators to church and are baptising 8 this week. If I wasnt 8 hours away from my old area i would think about going, but I am doing Good I feel good because I know I was Sent to aregua for a reason and I know that i left it alot better than  it was when i got there.  I will just have to see what we can do here in Pedro Juan. To answer your ? of is it getting cold, the answer is mas o menos in aregua it was colder but here not so much. Mom, Dad, Evan , Hannah, Dalin and Ben I love you.

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...

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.

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...
