So this week Pedro came to church again!!! but as we were teaching him this week he tells us that hes scared to be married! and that the catholic church will just be apart of him. ya... SO we have to pass through authority and stuff like that agian but he loves church and wants to keep going! Cecilia doesn't want to go to church and let go of the catholic religion but we'll keep working on her. 

OH and i have OFFICIALLY shook an apostles hand... and it was AWESOME!!! haha Elder Rasband came to our mision to talk to all of the missionaries of Paraguay! it was a huge meeting in our misison with the mision norte! i saw hermana recalde who was a local misionary with me in my training. Shes in norte mission. But we couldnt talk to each other cause they kept us pretty seperated the entire time but ya! Elder Rasband came with almost all of the presidecy of the Suramerica sur area and ya! i shook his hand and he was like hi! and of course i was like hola. durrr i can say hi in english! haha oh well! he kept looking at me through the meeting and smiling haha! it was cool! He talked about the blessing for paraguay and that we need to work our Very best. so we are working at ton. He said that we are doing good but we need to do better! so ya! it was super awesome! i wanted to talk to him after but we couldnt they escorted him out pretty quickly cause he was in meetings all day. but ya!

This Week

So this week was pretty awesome!  So we were teaching Pedro this week. We went to his house on Tuesday and we were talking about what he read 2  Nefi 32) and he was like, out of nowhere, (we were finishing the lesson) and he goes, "Hey I was thinking about the baptism thing.... and I really feel like I need to be baptized." WHAT!!!!!!! I like almost jumped out and like screamed and like danced and like everything. But I calmly went, "why?" He says I've been thinking alot about this and I really feel like this is for me and this is the church that I need to be a part of. What do I need to do to be baptized? So I was like you need to pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true and you need to go to church and ya. He was like ok... I'm goin! WHAT?!?!?!?!? So then we had a cita with him on Friday with a return missionary and he was like, "yup I still wanna be baptized!" And he promised to come to church... so we showed up to church on Sunday and I had almost forgotten that he was gonna come to church becaause we were running late because we were picking up a Converso reciente and they took along time so we were rushing to church and anyways... we walk into the sacrament room AND THERE HE WAS!!!!!!!!!! I was like YAY!!!!!!!!! it was  awesome! and then it was fast and testimony meeting,  so like everybody was like bearing their testimony about the Book of Mormon and stuff which was awesome because through the meeting he turned to me and was like,  "I still haven't got my answer about the Book of Mormon yet." I was like,  "keep trying!" Anyways  it was crazy! he stayed for like 2 hours of church and then left but ya! And then during the meeting too he was like,  "I like how calm and friendly and peaceful it is here!" This man is so awesome! Me and my comp are so excited to see how he progresses! Anyways yup! That was the awesome week!!!!!!

haha!

Love you guys lots!!

To Mom:

Anyways this week was good. I'm like stressing because I'm half way through my 3rd to last cambio and I don't like it. But its cool.

I'm like burning up here! This week we almost thought that my comp had to go to the hospital because she keeps stubbing her toe and after this Saturday she like tripped and her toe swelled up and we had to stay in house for like a week and ya... it was scary I was like please no.... she can't break her toe... this would be bad and I don't want her to go through what I went through! haha scary right? But ya anyways it was pretty fine here. I don't remember America anymore.

I'm doing pretty good here. I'm sick of my stomach haha but other than that I'm all good here in the hood! haha! 

Another baptism!!

So this week we had another baptism!!! it was awesome and this guy has a really cool story! it had been almost a year and he was finally baptised!! it was so awesome! juan is deffinately ready and totally converted! it was so awesome to be apart of the baptism! Everybody was crying and ya.. awesome! 

This week we were in the house for a lot of it so we didnt get to work very  much. Pedro is progressing really slowly but is progressing. He is reading the book of mormon and loves it but he isnt praying or going to church! AHHHH!!! so we taught prayer and attending church and how it is important and he was like ok ill go. well we passed for him on sunday before church to remind him to come and he was like i have to take my son to thehospital. we were like ok. So we are gonna come and get him to church! We know that if he goes hes gonna feel something and want to be baptized! He told us that he is praying but he didnt ask if the book of mormon is true. But at least hes praying!!! thats a step! we are excited to see how it goes! 

Anyways that was my week!!!

Love you guys lots!!!

To Mom;  

So yesterday.... sunday my comp was not feeling ok. So we were walking arounf and i felt her head and she was like super hot. So when we got home for stufying.. she was like im gonna lay down.... she had a 101 degree temp for like the whole night! It seemed like she had dengue. So yesterday we went to the hospital and ya... they think that her intstines are just inflamed and so ya we were there from 12 to 7 last night and so it was too late to go to email. So that is why i didnt email yesterday. haha i was braindead haha and today she needs to be resting and she still looks prety bad. I still think she has dengue, but they didnt test her for that. we are going back on Thursday and we will see how it goes. so ya. 

This week was fine. it was a stressful week and i was just kinda freaking out a little. But then we saw the hermana lideres in the hospital yesterday and they were like you are totally good!  I'm freaking out that i only have 2 more cambios after this one right now.... thats like i have 4 months left of my mission! And i look back and feel like i havent accomplished much... so ive been praying alot to know why i have been here and what is my purpose haha but im sure ill find out! haha!

Anyways don't worry about me... this time it isnt me! haha i called hermana wilson for my comp and i was like  HEY! its not me this time and she like laughed haah! it was really funny at verificationes on friday hermana wilson was talking about hospital visits and she was like right hermana breon? haha i like laughed haha nobody knew what she was saying haha...
