Oh hello there!

 Hey what's up everyone, i don't have a ton of time (basically becoming the usual) but anyway this week was great, I had a lot of great experiences. 


On Wednesday our mission president and his wife tested positive for covid and they are super sick right now, I really hope that they will be okay. The new mission president is supposed to come in this week I think, and that's gonna be a big change.

We were supposed to have a baptism this week but they canceled because they were sick. I feel like something always bad happens on those days to be honest. We rescheduled for wednesday this week, which my companion is super excited for. 

We had tons of people cancel this week because of rain, the people hate rain here, it's really interesting. When it rains it either comes down really hard for like an hour, or it's a steady sprinkle the whole day. And humidity kinda sucks, when it's hot you go inside and you're still hot, and when it's cold it's about the same. But on the bright side I can jump higher and run faster than any of these paraguayos. 

I ate a lot of tripe (cow intestine) this week and it's just really chewy. I thought it would taste bad but it tastes pretty good. They also give you some mystery meat sometimes and say  "come elders come" which means eat more elders and I tell them I'm okay and they just keep piling food on your plate and you don't want to tell them no. They are the nicest people, they love the elders.

I learned most of the required guarani i need to talk to people, they love it when we do that. 

Here's some pictures, can't really remember when I took them

love you all!!

Joseph's last supper!

  Joseph decided that he wanted to go to Wasabi for his last supper and then real life happened and we had to shift plans and have grub hub deliver five guys to the house.  It turned out really fun though because after we ate, we played maki in the backyard and then everyone piled on the trampoline to bounce off some of those calories.  Just so you know, maki means lemur in Malagasy.  We usually play horse or pig, but instead we used the word maki to play "horse", because it's just so much cooler and fun that way!   Joseph is the fun in our house and we are really going to miss that dynamic when he is gone!  We also went mini golfing a few days later and it was fun to just spend time together.  We didn't keep score and we just decided to goof off and have fun.  Lucy played several holes in front of us the entire time and Joseph helped her get a hole in one on the last hole.  He's always so giving and kind to everyone!

Pday

 Hola!  Well we planned on going on another hike today, but an illness swept through our house and Elder Johnson spent part of his day recovering.  So while he was in bed, I took the opportunity to plant my garden.  After that was all finished, Elder Johnson was awake and he was kind enough to feed Lucy's gerbil, Burrow.  Aww, he's such a cute little guy!  Then, we went on a bike ride on the green way and on our not so secret secret path.  Elder Johnson likes to talk to me while I'm happily huffing and puffing to keep up with him.  We rode behind south high school just in time to run into a fight going on in the courtyard between a few guys.  I got off my bike and yelled, "Let him go or I'll call the school."  The two guys that were attacking the other kid let go and said, "It's none of your business."  So, I pulled out my phone and pretended to call the school (it's my not so secret secret weapon) and they took off.    Bu...

I'm also out of training technically, i'm finally starting to get the hang of it in this place and I'm loving the work it is so much fun! Drunk guy: we come across drunk people all the time but this guy in particular wouldn't let go of my companion and kept saying that he was his brother in christ it was kinda funny but i felt bad for the guy. he also said that he knew english but when he spoke it was just gibberish and random sounds it was wacky. When he was done telling us that he loved us, We told him that Jesus loved him and that we had things to do but he still wouldn't let us go. We eventually just started walking away, and after a couple ste...
