Hey what's going on, I'm finally back ready to start, so let's do this! I'll just hit all of the main points and then go into the most important details later.
•We had 2 baptisms
•our new mission president gave us some awesome changes
•got talked to a drunk guy that REALLY wanted to play basketball but he looked like he was about to fall over
• A crazy lady that showed up to church with a burnt book of mormon and bible, and she was dancing, singing, and throwing stuff during church and on top of that she would speak to you in guarani, spanish and portuguese. AAAAANNND she wanted a picture with me so i got a picture with her (picture below)
•we are supposed to work on facebook for 20 minutes a day from now on and we have to find people. The cool thing is the two baptisms we have had were from online work from other elders that sent us the reference. How incredible is that!
•Im getting way better at speaking spanish and I can usually teach a solid lesson.
•There are alot of white people here because back when the germans lost the war, some people were being looked for so they hid inside paraguay and lived here so there are some people here who speak german it's super weird.
• We had zone conference and we met our new mission president. He is so amazing!
So that's about all that I can remember from the last couple of weeks but that's alright. But anyway here's what happened this week!:
Monday: After the fast that we were having, We ate something called a lomito which is like a really good burrito but anyway after i had gotten done eating it about 3 hours later i was in so much pain and then my companion started to feel bad and we both were just looking at each other kinda like "uh oh" but around 3 in the morning we were both throwing up and just super sick it felt terrible. We didn't sleep for the rest of the night
Tuesday: We had district council at our apartment which was interesting but after everyone left we finally were able to sleep and the rest of that day we didnt have any energy to move we just stayed in bed. We also were not hungry or thirsty whatsoever.
Wednesday: we started to feel better but were still super weak and for some reason I had a big pain in my chest and it was a little hard to breath but after taking some medicine it went away. We were able to work a little bit that day and go visit some members but after we got done with that i felt super sick and so we went back to our apartment.
Thursday: once we woke up we were able to eat and we started feeling better. At this point we were only eating rice so that we wouldn't get sick again. We went to do a pre interview for one of your investigators and then we went into the country with some members to teach.
Friday: Friday we weren't feeling as well again so for the first part of the morning we had to drink lots of water and take care of ourselves and after we felt better we went to some peoples houses to teach them.
Saturday: We prepared for our baptism most of the day and got ready for sunday. The baptism went great but when everyone went outside the church, this idiot in his car was revving his engine and he accidently put it in gear and he flew up this tree and flipped his car. So we were all running to help this guy but he came out saying he was fine but I could tell that his ego had taken a hit and for another thing, his new BMW was totaled, but all is well he got out of there before the police came and life went on.
Sunday: we had to pick someone up for church but she didn't realise that we were outside so we were late to church and missed our new member receiving the spirit but that's okay. After that we had some good lessons with some members.
This week was crazy but i'm alright now, thank you all for your support and prayers it means so much to me thank you!
