Email: Week#61 in Paraguay

Hi,

Things are all going super good. Today we played some soccer with the other missionaries. So this was a crazy week! I am super excited because tomorrow we get to go to the temple! I know that it will be super awesome. And so last Saturday we had a baptism! It was super awesome because Jesus got baptized! It was kinda weird because we had to have a super late baptism. We had it at like 8.30 at night, because he had to work, but it all worked out! So it was kinda funny because he didn't bend his knees well, so I almost fell when I had to lift him up again haha, kinda embarrassing.

But before that baptism, the other ward had one too. And the sister missionaries forgot to get their baptismal clothing! So we had to ask the owner of one of the other missionaries that lived nearby to get into there house, but there was a problem with the key! So the other Elder was freaking out because he couldn't get the key out for the baptism! It took us forever, but right when we gave up, it came out! I feel like that is usually how it is in our lives, like we get pushed to our limit in our trials, but somehow we always can get over them! :)

We also had a fun time yesterday because we had a family home evening there and we did this activity to try to draw with their eyes closed to show that we all need a light in our lives, which is Christ, so it was a fun lesson for all the kids. And this is also where we did the pizza!

Also, we went out to make some brownies with some recent converts, so that was a lot of fun. We hung out there for a bit, an my companion burnt his tongue because he was so excited to eat it haha.

But all is well, I will send some pictures now too!

Love, Elder Crandall
