29 Aug. 2011: Luque Week #3

Dear Family and Friends,


Well it is sure nice to hear from you all again this  week I bet it is wierd to have just two kids at home. We had a great week we really did, we had some experiances that just reminded me how blessed I am and how perfect the plan of the Lord is. First of everything went great with the baptism we were really pleased with the support of the members at the service and angelicas dad was too. They are a really neat family one of those families that who know why they went in active because they know alot about the church and have great testimonies we need a ward mission leader and are hoping that he will get the call. 

Secondly we had a really cool experiance with a contact. We decided to contact this random house and started talking to a lady. we introduced ourselves and asked if she had ever talked to missionaries before. And she responded  yes I have just once in Mariano roque alonso, And asked me if I knew Carlos Bernal I was like ya I ws teaching him and she is the sister of his mom, Her name is Blanca, She reconized me, I talked with her for maybe twenty minites over 7 months ago. She share that she feelt there was a reason I found her again, that God was calling her. She is nowReading and praying, she had a comitment on sunday and wasnt able to come to chuch but is planing on going this sunday. I know the Lord works like that he put us together, and hs given me another oppertunity to teach her. I love this work I love seeing miracles and being part of them I know the church is true, God lives and anwsers our prayers. Sorry my letter is short.. I will write more next week. Love you all take care. Love Elder Call 

OH ya the pics Juan my convert from saldo baptised his little brother so there a a couple pics of tht his mom is going to get baptised soon too along with his sister and Sergio and jaun recieved the Melchizedek Priesthood.

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,         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...
