30 May 2011: Salado Week #9

Dear Family and friends,
 
This was an exciting week, we had changes! and my new companion Elder Che XOL is from Guatemala, he is really cool and is a hard worker. His first language isnt spanish so he is also learning, He speaks Maya which is cool  but I still havent learned any.  it seems legit. I am excited to work with him I think we will get along great. He is the frirst misionary in his family he has one older brother that didnt serve.His whole family are member though and I guess his grandpa was one of the first In their area. 
 
Elder Scovill went to San Lorenzo, he was a good comp I learned a lot from him. I am pretty sure he doesnt like me very much but I hope he was able to learn somthing too. 
 
As for me I am doing great the area is doing good too and I am excited for the times to come. We are still bouncing around with the little problems and challanges but I am sure things will get better.  Elder Che knows alot about working with members and working through problems because his home ward is just a branch and he was like the ward mission leader and secretary. The members seemto be excited to have him too . 
 
Ever was suppose to give a talk in sacrament but decided he wasnt ready and kindof backed out. we tried to help him but he did want to do it yet so he didnt go to church it kind of hurt us because it made it so noone that is progressing with him went to church but we taught a good lesson after wards and they all committed to come this sunday., I love this work! I know its true I hope all is well, and love you all. 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...

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...
