It was super funny.. she was like in the CCM you were super chuchi and now you are really different hahaha! I was like really!? haha Paraguay... does things to you haha! but I didn't  remember this but the  latinas from my group were impressed with my spanish abilities haha! I guess when we got to paraguay i was translating for the elders a little. haha i didn't remember that haha!  but ya its been super wierd to have somebody from my group as my comp but you know what_? i always felt like we would eventually be comps one day haha and now we are hahaa! but ya....

Talking english in the streets...wierd.

so this week was a sad/happy/melancholy week....

so this week we now have a new thing where we have to contact 20 people everyday!! so me and my comp were walking and we hear... do you speak english? in english! we were like ya... and so this lady and her daughter wanted us to come and talk to them. Her daughter was about 10 and they came from florida.The Lady grew up in Paraguay so she knew Spanish, but her daughter was like born and raised American haha. She was so funny... she was like Paraguay is weird... haha why are you here in this wierd place? hahahaha it was super funny so we talked for about 10 minutes and then their bus came. but ya it was surprising to me how hard it was to talk in english on the streets... really hard... haha but i was happy at the same time cause i was like this is good.... I'm doing good in spanish haha

Also we got cambios today and.....I'm  staying! yup my new comp is Hermana Dubon! SHE'S FROM MY GROUP!!! its super exciting,  but sad cause my comp is leaving. but ya!

Also on the mission front,.. we kinda had a nothing week.. its one of those weeks where you work hard,  but dont see the fruits of your labor... ya.. BUT! we found 3 fams!! WOOOHOO!!! vamos a  trabajar con ellos!! 

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

Hermana Breon 

To Mom: 
so ya this week is a pretty sucky week.... like one of the worst in my mission thus far. SO.... to start off we had to go to the officinas on wednesday because hermana (my companion) had to talk to the area docs. She's not been doing well and her spirits are down.  They both told her that she should probably go home or go to a different mission. SO... that day was super emotional... we were in the officinas all morning and half the afternoon. then we got home and she was crying more. so that emotional rollercoaster day was over. we worked the next. and her head was a little better. worked hard until sunday. Sunday after church we get a call from presidente for us to come to an interview with him that night. I knew right away what was going to happen. I felt it. SO we went and she got rushed into the interview and she was told she was going to go home. SO I'm   staying in Floresta and getting a new comp and we will be a threesome for a day and then she's my old comp is leaving Wednesday morning. so ya... all day we have been buying things from Paraguay so that way she can have things and ya.... its really sad... i feel bad for her... i don't want to be in her shoes at all. When we walked away after the interview presidente looked like he was gonna cry and ya.. it was super sad. and on top of that yesterday we also found out that one of the conversos (new converts) that i taught in Villa Anita died. She was Hermana Guevaras converso and ya so it was a pretty sucky day yesterday.  So I'm like happy, but then sad about this cambio. Like happy I have Hermana Dubon, but then super sad that my old comp is leaving.... she'll be coming into deseret book this week,  I think so say hi to her for me. 

But ya... there wasn't alot of missionary work that happened... 

I love the USA!

hope you are feeling better and that dad's good too!!!

Love you lots!

Hola!!!


So this week was pretty awesome! So this week I hit... are you ready? ...... 9 MONTHS! I'm like half way through my mission! Its super wierd and I dont know how i feel about it! haah so there is a thing here for the sister missionaries... we take pics on the 9 month mark and its a joke pic of like your pregnant hahahaahha! ya so I took one it was super wierd but hey! haha we like stuffed a huge blanket under my shirt and ta da!! haha ill post a pic haha! Also that day we ate french toast! we were all dying with happiness haha! 
Also we bought shirts that were so funny haha. So they say "nada que ver" which means "nothing to see". they are an inside joke between us, but we loved them so we had them made and bought them haha
Last monday we went to the temple to clean it! It was super fun and then after we went and bought burger king haha! 

Anyways work wise... 
The area is really awesome! We now have a meta of contacting 20 people everyday! Its crazy! But we are finding lots! haha Also our investigator Venus came to CHURCH!!!!! She can technically get baptized this sat, but she doesnt have signatures from her parents. The hard thing is is that her dad doesn't want her to be baptized! grrr.... so we are working with that. But this sunday she came to church and brought her brother and his wife! They have been menos activos since christmas! It was amazing! The bishop was like what? and then looked at us like WHAT?! haha We were super happy! so ya! That was my week! next week is cambios and I hope that Idon't  go but I'm feeling like its gonna happen :( I'll be so sad if I can't see Venus´ baptism :( but thats ok! At least she will make that covenant with God! :D

Anyways Love you guys lots!

To Mom:
wow that sounds like a lot this week  haha! You'll get better soon I know it! So yes I hit my hump day haha on friday haha it was really wierd... kinda felt like my birthday haha but I made french toast and we did the pic... it was super wierd but hey whatever!
so this week we had a lot of inter-cambios with the hermana lideres. They helped us in our area for 3 days this week and it was super helpful. We found people and that's the only way that we have been working in our area. President and Hernama Wilson came over to install a door chain thing.
About my foot... the dead thing has almost fallen out!!!!! wooo hooo!! I can work all day and am totally fine! I'm like so excited to start workin! well bueno.. I have been workin but ya!!! Its super awesome! haha

Well I only have 9 more months and these passed SUPER quick! haha I'm like freaking out! I feel officially out of the young ranks of the mission haha! 

Well anyways get better and love you lots!

Afterward we walked to this supermercado callled REal..... and guess what?! my comp said that she swore that she saw liam hemsworth... i dont think so, i took one look at the guy and i didn't think it was him, but she swore it was hahah. he was in a black truck staring at us. haha we walked by and went inside... it was wierd hahaa anyways we walked in and there was the best thing ever!!!... an isle full of AMERICAN FOOD!!! i can't tell you how happy and excited i was!!! i took pics. haha

Anyways one of our investigators is Venus and we taught her this week! She really  wants to be baptized, but her parents don't want her to be and she's 13 years old. so its gonna be hard, but she loves the gospel and stuff.... we are gonna work with her on the baptism! Also the ward is giving us refs like crazy! the only thing is is that my comps head hurts a ton so we cant leave a lot... some days at all... so ya...
