Email: Week#54 in Paraguay

Hi!

This week was such a good one! I am not sure what happened inside of us both, but we just had a ton of energy to work and had so much desires to get out and visit people.

So the first news is... we finally are going to get Michele baptized! After working with her and her family for months... we got a date locked in and it should be good for sure. We are visiting her every day to teach her and help her to be ready. Hopefully, her younger sisters will have the desire to get baptized too and want to come to church too.

We also have a new super awesome investigator! His name is Jesus Perez. He is the boyfriend of a member that my companion activated right before I came here. So it is super awesome. He has been going to church for a bit and never got baptized just because no one ever said anything to him or ever taught him about it...:P. But it is pretty awesome!

We also started teaching a sister of a recent convert. She is only 11 years old but wants to get baptized... only the mom says no. The recent convert had to wait until she was 16 for her mom to say yes... but who knows. But she really is an awesome person and it is amazing that she understands everything we say! Soem people here you explainj something 20 times and they barely understand it...

We also did our youth activity too. I made a game where it was like a scavenger hunt, but with the scriptures. They read a scripture, which was a reference to where the next clue was. The scripture would mention food, so they would look in the kitchen and so forth. It was pretty fun.

Our Zone Activity was today. We played volleyball but with water balloons, it was pretty interesting. Then, we played volley and soccer. It was a fun time.

I just need to think of another crazy story to write about haha.

Talk to you next week!
