30 Aug. 2010: Pedro Juan Caballero Week #10

Dear Family and Friends.
 
How are you all doing? Thanks for all the letters this week. I cant believe its time for school again and that Hannah is a Senior and Dallin a 9th grader. Ben is in the middle school now, you will all have to let me know how its going. Evan are you planning On staying Rock Springs Or What?
 
Well, this week for me was exciting and uplifting. We had tons to do and lots of unexpected surprises. On wendsday we went out to santa Clara, Everything went well but we are trying to get them Celdulas or the Idenification they need to get married so I am not sure when yet but we are now kind of leting the leaders like our President of the Rama 4 and others do most of the work so we can work in our area. Thursday we did a bunch of service cutting trees plants and bushes for a few members and investigators in the rama. The friday we went to fill up the Font for Gustavos baptism and there was no water! We didnt know what to do because the dad of gustavo isnt really supportive so Niria didnt want to ask him to take them to a different rama. We ended up trying to haul water with buckets from the neighbors well (a well like in the olden days.) It turned out to be way hard and after one hour we only had 2 inches of yellow water in the font. we then decided it would be a waste of time to continue and decided to just pray that we could do the baptism in the Rama 2. It turned out well and we had the baptism on Saturday in the rama 2. It was one of the most spiritual abaptisms i have been in.
 
The cool thing was three of the most awsome investigators came including Christaphor, his son Amillio and Alcides. Christaphor told us he wants to get baptised on Friday so that is what we are planning on. He has a way sweet testimony already and I know he was one of the few and chosen. His family is way cool too but they will take a little longer. He is considered a Golden investigator. He has great desires to spread the gosple teaching his Family Friends and Neighbors. It is way fun to see, The joy is great! He will be a great leader. He has already invited a bunch of his family to his baptism and Has no regrets to say I am Mormon. We are super excited for him. Today we are going to his house to make something out of wood that we can bring home to remember him because he makes Doors and stuff out of wood.
 
Other than that Not much else is happening I really am enjoying my time here in Pedro Juan as a missionary for the true church Like Christopher we cant Hide What WE Believe.- and Know to be true. Love You tons Take Care. ElderCall

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...
