Email: Week#64 in Paraguay


Hi,

I am doing super good. We played a ton of soccer today and volleyball. It was super cool because I scored the winning goal! Ohhh yeah. 

So I stayed in my area with my companion, but I am really glad actually. It is a lot of fun in this area, definitely my favorite. So I now am working with a lot Arami and Araceli Samudio. They are both twins who were meant to get baptized a LONG time ago. So we are working a ton to get it out now, and they are improving a lot. 

Also, we have been going with Liz Paola and Dany. They are two people who live together with 4 kids. Liz Poala really wants to get baptized, but they need to get married first, however, Dany wants to improve his drinking and smoking problems first. On Friday, we saw him and he just accepted all that we taught him and was growing a lot spiritually, but it all just went downhill on Saturday. Saturday was just a bad day, it rained super hard, we got soo soaked and none of our lessons went well. But we kept on and prayed hard that night. And the next Sunday was just a miracle... the whole family came to church! It was a miracle because Dany told us he doesn't like going to any churches and just wants to worship God at home, I don't know what we did, but it worked! :)

I also was super impressed with the Hermano Ozuna. He just became super desirous to go to church now because now he can't with his work. So we want to work with him a lot to help get his son baptized. He just had a HUGE change of heart, I could barely believe it. Ever since we set goals and had the desires to be obedient, things just sky rocketed up and we saw so many tender mercies of the Lord. Being obedient really brings us blessings in ways that we never could have ever imagined.

We also had our interviews with the mission president on friday. It was like the best thing ever, he is such a smart man.

Also there is still a ton of rain, it only seems to rain on the weekends, so our mission attendance has been kinda bad lately... but we just need to keep working.

Love,

Elder Crandall
