Email: Week#25 in Paraguay

Hi mom,

This week was super crazy. We had changes this week and we were working a full to get everything done. We literally did spent our whole time in the office preparing,  not even one time did I go out to proselyte this week. The night before all the nuevos came, we were preparing the room and all the things for the presentation and all until super late last night. Then, the next day we got a bit of sleep and then the new people came in the morning. They were super cool. It was a group of 19 people, 16 elderes and 3 hermanas. It was super cool to meet them all. I found out from the Hermana Jones that her comp. in the CCM was Lindsey Trendler from some of my clases in Mountain View, that was super cool to find out! The world is pretty small sometimes. But we did some training classes as oficinistas to the new people to tell them all about what we do. Then we had a super nice lunch, and then they left to take pics at the temple. After a bit of time, they came back and then we did divisions with them! We each took out 2-3 nuevos and went out contacting the people. And honestly, it was an experience just super amazing. Like I really am not that perfect guy doing contactos, but it just went reeeeally well. I definitely realized that the Spirit was helping me to use my talents in the best way possible to help the new guys have a good time and have success. Usually when we go contacting, we don't have like any luck, but this time everyone we talked to just seemed willing to talk to us and share. But anyway, after that we headed back super fast to get a nice dinner of pizza from Pizza Hut haha. Then, we went back to home and slept.

We got up really early the next day, my comp and I, to head off to the office for the changes. The mission office was just waaaaaaaaaaay filled with people. So many people had changes this day. As Cartero, I was super busy like all the day helping people get the stuff that they wanted. Also, I went over to congratulate all my friends in the mission that were training. But after a bit of time, everyone started leaving and then we we a bit more tranquil. Later, we helped the missionaries leaving get ready. We helped them back their stuff and get it under weight more. It was crazy too as we stayed up till 2 in the morning. So Elder Billings and I left to the house after to get some sleep while Elder Salazar and Elder Valenzuela took the next group to the airport. Then Elder Billings and I got up at 7 to send a few more Elders home at the airport and help them with everything. We were just so dead tired at this time, because it had been a few days since we had slept well. But we finally got all the changes  done and all is well!

But really that is all I can really say now, it really was my week. Today, we had a super barbecue with all the people in the office and the two assistants. It was super good. One of the assistants, Elder Day (from Gilbert), had some barbecue sauce that his mom sent him, and it was the best thing ever. I can't  even remember the last time that I had eaten that. it was really good. We actually have a barbecue place in our house in the backyard, so we finally used it after years!

Our house is super nice because all four of the oficinistas live there plus all the new people when they come in. We have a stack of mattresses for the newbies. There is a house a few blocks away from the church that we live in.. 

So here's just a picture of a missionary that left, he is just the chillest guy ever! I will sent a picture of our barbecue outside our house later today.

Les amoité! Hablamos despues!
