Well, this week was
fantastic!`DAVID GOT BAPTIZED!!!!`We went and visited him last night and he is
so so happy! All of his family is inactive and they all want to come back to
church now, it´s so awesome! I don´t think I have told you about him...he´s 10
years old and lives with his grandparents. They aren´t active but they were
cool with him getting baptized; it just took the grandma a couple of months to
come around. We worked with them a lot this past month and he´s now a member of
the church! `He´s very intelligent and can remember EVERYTHING that we tell
him! It´s great!
And our miracle from
last week is named Ino! He is totally ready to get baptized, we have to tèach
him about the law of chàstity tonight because him and his girlfriend
live together #yay`but he´s really excited and ready to get baptized.
`This week we also
ha`d a conferencia en Asuncion! President Gonzales taught us along with his
wife. He´s the presìdent of the South America South area for the church...one
of the area 70´s and he is so great! `They talked à lot about The Sabbath Day
and keeping it holy.
We also had Stake
Conference yesterday but it was broadcast to Paraguay, Uruguay`and Argentina.
Elder Oaks, Èlder Hales, Sister Marriot from the general young womens
presidency, President Gonzales and another man (I cannot remember his name to
save my life)`spoke to us and it was `so fun! It was all in Spanish so I
couldn´t understand èverything but I got most of what they were saying and they
all talked about DÍA DE REPOSO`aka SABBATH DAY. `They are seriously cracking
down on that here. Sister Marriot talked about how the Sabbath Day isn´t a list
of things you can`´t do, she said when you are doing all of thè things that you
need to do and making it a day set aside for the Lord`, you will `not even have
to worry about the things you shouldn´t do. I really liked that!
Sunday´s as a
missionary are super different because we still go out and teach all day ànd
don´t have time to take a siesta (ps the siesta is real`here.)`or do whatever
we want but I love it! We are putting all of our time and efforts into building
the Lord´s ki`ngdom on Sunday´s and it´s really spècial! Don´t worry about
what you "can´t" do on Sunday´s`, do what you need to do to make
it a day centered on the Lord.
Èverything here is
going really great! We´re working really hard and seeing lots of
miracles!`Paraguay is literally the best place in the world!!! Love you all!`
Àlso, sorry for all
the accent marks, I´m not turning into a crazy Spanish `person, my keyboard is
just wacko...
`Love, Hermana
