Email: Week#5 in Paraguay

Hi!

This week has been pretty good, but it feels like I have not emailed or talked to you in a while! So we did not realize how late is was when we came, so we left after about a half hour from the computer place. Then, on Tuesday I was not able to come because we had a super long meeting with the President of the mission that I did not know was going to happen. 

So I am going to go to the mission office today after I email a bit. We cannot go that often because we have to take 2 different buses for an hour to get there!

So here is the update on everything. We had Mabel's baptism yesterday morning! It was super amazing, and she was sooo happy! She kept telling us how excited she was for her baptism, and you can tell she is going to be an amazing member. So because of her baptism we are getting her mom to come to church now because she was inactive for a few years. And his name is actually Dionicio, I don't know why I wrote Dionysus haha. We were not able to visit him this week, so I will have to update him later. However, we were able to teach the Miño family more, so their daughter's name is Yesica (Jessica). She knows a lot and has desires to be baptized, we are going to focus on her a lot by teaching her. My companion and I are still thinking of the baptismal date for her, we will talk to her tomorrow and see what the family thinks. So we also have another baptism coming up! We are going to baptize a young-in who is 9 again. He never got baptized because we just reactivated the family (Mari Paredes) to church again. So we are going to plan on having it next Wednesday. This wednesday we are going to the river as a ward! That sounds like it will be pretty fun, just to see it and then play soccer or something. Oh, so we never got to teaching Mari Paredes's sister yet, we really need to get on that!

The house with the monkeys, someone that lives with me, Elder Crane, lived here a year ago and he showed us it one day after lunch. The soccer museum was pretty cool, but I know nothing about soccer haha, so it didn't mean too much to me. But, it was cool to be with some of the other missionaries to hang out with them. I have not really seen too much on my Pdays. We usually hang out with the other missionaries.

So that is all! I love and miss you all!

Hasta luego,

Elder Crandall
